Well, we recently won some accolades, and that's kind of cool (named "One of America's Most Promising Companies" by Forbes Magazine, we ranked #17 on the Inc 500 List in 2012, and our CEO just won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year). But perhaps the best thing about CampusBookRentals is that our Founder and CEO, Alan Martin, was a student when he founded the company. So CampusBookRentals was born out of the acute pain Alan was experiencing as a student, and knows all too well what it feels like to pay for over-priced textbooks. That experience is what led him to the idea of renting textbooks, and since then we've rented over 1 million textbooks, and served students on just about every campus in the nation.
As a company, we're hyper-focused on continually delivering value to students. For example, take the launch of our recent RentBack program. Another major pain point for students is Textbook Buybacks. Everyone has had the unfortunate experiencing of buying a book for $200, and finding out it can only be sold for $30 (just 3 months later!). RentBack allows to students to retain ownership of their books, send them to us, and we rent them out to other students and send them the money. And we repeat the process every semester until the book is no longer in demand. Why is that cool? Because on average, students make 2-4x as much money on their books when compared to selling them back.

2013 is a new year, with a mix of old and new in our making a difference program. First off, we’re keeping our partnership with Operation Smile. They are an awesome organization that performs life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it. The long term improvement in quality of life for the children that receive these surgeries is almost incomprehensible. We’re honored to support the children of Operation Smile.
We’ve also set aside $90,000 in textbook scholarships to be distributed to students in communities just like yours. That’s a lot of books, and we hope to touch a lot of students who could use a hand. So add that extra book to your cart. When you rent textbooks from us, you make a difference. |
