The CampusHub Advantage

At CampusHub, we offer an e-commerce solution that gives the user the flexibility and control to create a unique virtual store front. If that means fitting that virtual store front into the look of the main campus site or creating a totally unique look and feel, the CampusHub application can fill the need.

CampusHub can help increase a bookstore's product offerings and increase profitability:

The click-and-mortar campus bookstore has a tremendous competitive advantage in the campus marketplace, namely its ability to support online textbook and merchandise offerings with brick-and-mortar service. The bookstore offers a point of delivery, which is a key ingredient for successful Internet sales and a feature online-only sellers cannot duplicate. In addition, trust is high with a University-operated Web site. If marketed properly, a campus bookstore's online storefront can easily become the Web site of choice for students.

Along with the intangible benefits of having a virtual store front option for your customers, CampusHub brings an opportunity for real incremental revenues. The CampusHub helps bookstores realize higher profits by paying the stores commissions on purchases from high profile vendor partners offering consumer electronics, software, general books and more.

CampusHub stores benefit from leading-edge technology. At the CampusHub, we have developed and extremely compatible virtual store front application using the latest Microsoft development tools, giving users a virtual store front that their customers can easily navigate.

Create a strong brand and give your customers the convenience and comfort of shopping online at their campus bookstore. Combine the convenience of round-the-clock shopping with the comfort of the brick and mortar bookstore location and your customers will see the bookstore in a whole new light. Shoppers still get the wide selection available elsewhere online, but they’re buying from the bookstore they know and trust.

At CampusHub, we believe there is strength in numbers! The numbers show that we are a powerhouse when it comes to providing an e-commerce solution to the college store market. There are over 500 stores using CampusHub. These 500 stores are serving over 2.5 million students! Add to the 2.5 million students all of the faculty, staff and alumni of the CampusHub member schools and the number becomes even more impressive!
