Many college store professionals are covering multiple positions. Day-to-day tasks have grown exponentially, and it is probably nearly impossible to consider adding to your to-do list. It is more important than ever to streamline your store processes and add efficiency where possible. MBS can help.
Online shopping is popular because it is easy. Shoppers can see the options available, read reviews and get the package sent conveniently to their front door. However, as a brick-and-mortar store, it is important to have that in-store foot traffic. How can your store give students the convenience of online ordering without missing the opportunity to bring them to your store? Add the in-store pickup option for website orders.
Ensure that your store is the reliable campus hub of course materials and don’t miss out on sales. If you are running short on books, place an ASAP order today!
When is the best time to start your textbook order? Now! Are there benefits to being able to fill more of your want list with one trusted company? Yes! MBS provides campus stores with more inventory options to ensure you have the inventory you need and at the price points you want.

At the end of the last term, some students might not have had time to sell back unwanted textbooks. Provide students with an opening buyback where they can easily sell back books from the previous term while picking up their materials for their new classes.
A wide selection of course material formats helps students find the best option to fit their budget and learning style. Submit your wantlist to MBS as soon as possible to maximize the number of low-cost books your store will receive next term.
