As back to school season is right around the corner, nobody can deny that the humble printer is definitely a top school essential. Even with the dawn of digital files and PDFs, having a reliable and handy printer on-hand for notes, worksheets, and other documents is a must in school.
Of course, having a printer is easier said than done. They’re not exactly the most affordable piece of technology out there so finding the best deals and discounts is key.
Luckily for us, we got SM’s Back to School Deal, via their SM Malls Online (SMO) app 11, where customers will be able to trade in any of their old gadgets to get discounts on different printers perfect for school (and work) needs!
This promo program is in line with their SM Cares Electronic Waste Collection Program, which aims to dispose of e-wastes in a responsible manner to prevent harm to humans and the environment.
