Case Study: Anthropologie achieves fraud-protected teacher-only back-to-school discounts with SheerID

Anthropologie - Customer Case Study

Anthropologie, a retailer known for curated clothing and home decor, asked SheerID in 2015 to protect a back-to-school discount reserved exclusively for teachers in the U.S. and Canada. The challenge was to authenticate educators quickly and securely so Anthropologie could differentiate its brand, support teachers, and promote the offer without risking widespread fraud.

SheerID provided a hosted teacher eligibility verification solution that launched rapidly with minimal involvement from Anthropologie’s web and tech teams. Verified K–12 and higher‑ed educators completed a simple form, received a one‑time coupon and a branded redirect back to anthropologie.com for a seamless experience; because the offer was fraud‑protected, Anthropologie promoted it broadly and repeated the program in 2016.
