Abstract
After Christmas, back-to-school is the most important season for all retailers.4 Yet, consumer behavior research overlooks this ritual. This paper presents fi ndings from observational and interview data collected at Borovo shoe stores in Croatia in 2010. It considers how research from the back-to-school context contributes to the theories of intergenerational infl uence for brands5 and children as marketplace actors
