Happy Monday Readers!
I want to make you aware of a great alternative to purchasing expensive college books, and you can do some good that the same time. Kacie from Campus Book Rentals emailed me and I could not help but spread the word, so I asked her to guest post for me today. So, without further delay here is Kacie, and I am going to let her inform you of what their awesome company is up to.
"Hi this is Kacie, and I work for a great company, CampusBookRentals.com!
I am guest posting for Melissa today to let all of you know about some of the great things about my company. So we all know how expensive college is, personally I am still there. Every semester I would pay several hundred dollars for just books. And maybe some people are more diligent about going back through their college textbooks to relearn, but once the semester is over I never pick them up again. They become hundred dollar paper weights, props to hold wobbly furniture, or place holders on my book shelf to make it seem like I do actually read them. Or if I did try and sell them back the book store was offering me a small buyback price and then putting them back on the shelf to sell again at the same price they made me pay at the beginning of the semester. It just didn't seem fair and I was thinking, there has to be a better solution.
Which is why CampusBookRentals.com was created! Our CEO was a college student with the same dilemma, and he happened to come up with a solution. What we do at CampusBookRentals.com is save students money by having them rent the textbooks for just the time that they need them, versus having to keep them on the shelf collecting dust. There are some great perks to renting through us versus buying books through your bookstore. First of all you can save 40-90% by renting the book instead of buying it, I don't know about you, but that is money I could put to use in some other area. We offer free shipping both ways, we even send you a return mailer to send the book back at the end of the semester. It's as easy as putting the book inside of the mailer, sealing it up, and dropping it off at the post office. So you not only save money, you save time!
And here is the best part! You can save money and help out a great cause. We have teamed up with Operation Smile. If you don't know about Operation Smile let me tell you about this great organization. What Operation Smile does is provides free cleft lip and palate surgeries for children whose parents do not have the money to afford the operation. What most people don't understand is that a cleft does not only affect the child's appearance, it effects everything from speaking to even eating. We have made a commitment to donate at least 1,000 surgeries, but we would love to exceed that goal. So if you are in college and needing textbooks you can save money and help give a child a smile!"
How cool is that! How can you get involved? Start with a book rental and work your way from there. College and textbooks really can do more than make you more money. Help today!
