Kmart® Shop Your Way(SM) Members Save This Back To School Season Through Exclusive Offers Including Free Layaway, Savings On Kids' Clothes And School Supplies, "Big Gas Savings" And Surprising Weekly Deals

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., July 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kmart's tongue-in-cheek viral ad campaign kicks off back-to-school season with a TV commercial, featuring kids on the playground using a "Yo Momma" play-on-words to give each other compliments and showcase all the smart deals and savings for Shop Your Way members planned for this school season. The witty commercial isn't the only thing that'll put a smile on members' faces; this year Kmart decided to give parents even more options to save by offering free layaway for Shop Your Way members in-store for everything on the back-to-school shopping list.   

"At Kmart, we're helping Shop Your Way members and customers manage their time and money this back to school season through perks, privileges, conveniences and innovative technologies like free layaway, our new Pay in Store service, Free Store Pickup at Kmart locations nationwide and free shipping for members when the product they want isn't in the store. Shop Your Way members can even earn five percent in rewards points everyday they use their Sears MasterCard^® at Kmart," said Andrew Stein, interim chief marketing officer, Kmart. "All of these money and time saving privileges are available for Kmart back to school customers who join the FREE Shop Your Way membership program."

Heading Back To Campus
Kmart's free store pickup makes shopping for back to campus a breeze. College shoppers can buy everything from their lists online – whether it's small appliances, bedding or laptops – and then pick up their purchases from the store closest to their campus. Even if mom or dad placed the order, students can still pick up the items in-store. Simply check the "someone else will pick up my order" box during the checkout process and supply the name and email of the person who will be picking up the order. They'll receive an email message, which they need to bring with them to the store as identification.
