Be The One-Stop Shop In An Online World.
More and more students are buying their textbooks online. Bring them to your site, recapture sales and collect the business intelligence you need to successfully challenge online competitors.
Give Students Every Reason To Stay On Your Site.
Many online shoppers visit your site to see what books are assigned for their courses, then head to your online competitors. Verba's price comparison tool puts pricing and availability information from other online retailers right on your site, so students stay right where you want them.
Remind Them That Price Isn't Everything.
There's hardly a student who hasn't dropped a class or changed their schedule. But sometimes students forget about how valuable buying from the campus bookstore can be: easy returns, same-day pickup, guaranteed accuracy. Verba helps you remind students of these convenience advantages and makes sure they compare offers on more than just price.
