Another combo deal

Back-to-school marketers must be thinking only of shoes and supplies.

Monday, I told you about Foot Locker and its team-up with Office Depot. Buy something at one store, get a coupon for another.

Today, I see that OfficeMax and Payless ShoeSource also have a combo going.

Buy something at Payless and get a coupon for $10 off a purchase of $30 or more at Office Max.

Buy something at OfficeMax and get a coupon for $5 off a purchase of $25 or more at Payless.

The promo will run through Sept. 12.

From Foot Locker to school locker

Planning to buy back-to-school shoes?
Foot Locker wants to increase foot traffic by teaming with Office Depot to make customer deals.
Through Sept. 5, customers who make a purchase of at Foot Locker will get a coupon good for $10 off a $30 purchase at Office Depot.
The flipside of the deal is that Office Depot will give customers buying school supplies a 20 percent-off coupon to use at participating Foot Locker, Lady Foot Locker or Kids Foot Locker locations.
The coupon also can be used at the Foot Locker Web sites.
