Be their one-stop shop

Many online shoppers visit the campus store’s web site to see what books are assigned for their courses, then head to the online competition to complete their purchase. By offering Verba Compare, stores show students all their options, so they have no reason to go anywhere else.

Earn revenue no matter who gets the sale

While the vast majority of sales through Compare go to the bookstore, some student swill inevitably buy from the competition. When they do, Verba clients receive a piece of the pie – anywhere from 6-12% depending on the retailer. We’ll even manage most of the affiliate relationships for you, simplifying the process of partnering with each online retailer.

Take all the credit

Every Verba Compare website gets some custom TLC from our design team, so everyone – from students, to faculty, to administrators, to the media – knows to thank your store for the service.

Gain invaluable insight into student purchases

Every time students check out in Verba Compare, we capture what they’re buying, who they’re buying from, and at what price. Verba then shows you top-line stats – like “82.1% of items checked out were bookstore items” – and which individual books were purchased most frequently from your competitors. It’s a unique view of student purchasing behavior, only available through Compare.

Get set up in a flash

Software shouldn’t take months to set up. At Verba, we pride ourselves on being able to launch new clients within a week or two of signing on. Here's the typical process for Compare:
