Summer rental list submissions are open now! Maximize the savings your store offers students and provide more options in 2024.
How to submit your summer rental list to MBS
Submitting a list for a quote is fast, simple, and it doesn’t require a contract or agreement. Your store can use this tool to:
Get low-cost options for students — With rental, cost-conscious students can save money on physical course materials.
Bring students into the college store — Promote beginning and end-of-term foot traffic in your college store with great prices. Highlight the variety of low-cost options and learning styles your store supports. At the end of term, students will head back into the store to return their rental books.
Lock in guaranteed rebates — Once you submit your rental list, we send back your guaranteed rebate amounts. Be sure to submit your lists as soon as possible to maximize the number of titles you receive a quote for. As additional titles are adopted, simply update your quote.
Earn additional revenue — Rental books offer increased margins, and your store earns revenue every term a title is rented. “Being able to meet my margins with book rentals is terrific for both the students and the bookstore,” Judy Meyering, Bookstore Manager, Ridgewater College, said.
Have you tried guaranteed buyback?
Did you know that MBS makes it easy to offer students guaranteed buyback on popular titles? Simply submit your course material list for a guaranteed buyback quote — the same way you submit your rental list. Include your entire list of potential guaranteed buyback titles, and MBS will send back a quote containing guaranteed amounts on the titles we will purchase at the end of term. Throughout the term, your store can update the quote with additional titles not previously included.
