We are extremely thoughtful about the partnerships we embark on, but when we do partner, we partner fiercely. We defend your brand, collaborate with your community, and become one with your campus. We embark as equals in partnerships we intend to last for decades.
Whether it's carrying a new assortment, having course materials priced better than ever (and in more formats than ever), or serving up surprisingly good coffee, we aim to delight students and invite them back to the store again and again as a central part of their campus experience.
We run profitable operations. This allows us to pay our partners on time, every time, and exceed financial goals. We own our supply chain nearly end to end, and pass our efficiencies all the way through to the bottom line. We're proud of our profitable operating history and it gives us bonafide confidence to seek out new, long-lasting partnerships.
We own 5,000,000 (yes million) textbooks; making us one of the largest textbook providers in the U.S. This has become a unique strength to provide students with the physical materials they need at affordable prices.
If your campus is ready to shed the floorspace and outsource the logistics of course materials entirely, we're built for that. We ship to millions of students every year.
We work in deep partnership with digital content providers to ensure your digital and day one programs are executed beautifully.
We serve a very wide range of campuses from only a few hundred students up to over 44,000. Our ability to partner profitably depends on many things, such as geography, enrollment, availability of financial aid, athletic programs, etc.
We offer a free consultation which can help make these things clear, and perhaps give you even more insight into the future of your operation, with or without us.
Both. We own 5,000,000 textbooks, making us one of the largest distributors of used textbooks in the nation. We also support IA / EA, and the broad digital goals of the campus.
We also own our own merchandise manufacturing facility, providing custom products and fast turns to departments, clubs, and the fast moving retail floor.
We've heard many times how tricky it is to find both a course materials and general merchandise partner. We've married these skillsets together under one roof.
Yes. Or, we can operate one aspect of the store virtually (like course materials), while operating the spirit and community store on-campus.
We've found more and more campuses interested in freeing up floor space for merchandise, while continuing to serve course materials remotely. We're built for this.
We're inspired by the retail experience and we look forward to refreshing your space if necessary.
Store design plays deeply into the overall success of the partnership. We need students to feel comfortable, navigate well, and discover the products that will enhance their student experience. As course materials command less and less space, we're seeing material gains through optimized merchandising.
On Time
We honor your timelines, deadlines, and respect the work you've put into getting your efforts this far and know you have a process to get through. You can count on timeliness from us.
On Point
We seek clarity in all we do, and that includes, especially, our RFP response. We aim for comprehensibility and to stick the landing on the points that matter most to you.
Fairly
We are looking for decades-long partnerships, and design our responses from the ground up with fairness in mind that can carry a partnership happily into the future.
Creatively
We are a custom solutions provider. We have to be creative. We think flexibly, creatively, and seek novel solutions you can be proud of.
We run accessibility tools on our sites
We run accessibility tools and screen readers on our sites to identify anything that might diminish accessibility. We produce reports of any issues and prioritize engineering hours until the issues are resolved.
We design with compliance in mind
Accessibility is a tenant of our web interface design. We reinforce accessibility both in the tools we use to build software, and in training our team.
