Books by eCampus Announces Winner in Free Pizza and Textbooks Giveaway to Promote Online Buybacks During Quarantine
Books by eCampus, an online bookstore solution by eCampus.com, promoted the giveaway to celebrate college students in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
LEXINGTON, Ky., July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The grand prize of free pizza and textbooks for a year was awarded to Emily Sauer of Miami University in Oxford, OH. Sauer was randomly selected from thousands of participants who became eligible after selling at least one textbook back through their eCampus.com Online Bookstore from April 15, 2020 - June 1, 2020.
The giveaway was inspired by eCampus.com's desire to help students enjoy the online textbook buyback process and introduce an added benefit to selling back books during an unpredictable college semester. Any student currently enrolled at a Books by eCampus partner institution was eligible to participate, resulting in thousands of entries from eCampus.com's 250 partner schools. By selling at least one textbook online, students were automatically entered to win a $500 textbook scholarship and free pizza for a year.
Online textbook buybacks were a vital component to the Spring 2020 college semester as institutions were forced to close on-campus bookstores in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Remaining fully operational, Books by eCampus was able to continue providing course materials to students with reliable ship to home options while also providing a way for students to sell their used textbooks online 24/7, regardless of where they were purchased. Books by eCampus saw a 32% increase in textbook sales and online buybacks during this time as students responded to eCampus.com's commitment to textbook affordability and convenience.
"The Books by eCampus Online Bookstore has helped me a lot because it makes getting my textbooks easy," said Emily Sauer, who attends Miami University's Hamilton, OH campus. "When I am done with my textbooks I know I can always sell them back and then get my next set." Miami University has been a valued Books by eCampus partner since 2017, where students are able to take advantage of a 24/7 online bookstore offering free next-day shipping to campus of their professor-selected course materials.
"Students are our priority and eCampus.com is committed to providing a reliable online bookstore experience that offers students the ability to both purchase and sell textbooks from the convenience of their homes," said Matt Montgomery, President and CEO of eCampus.com. "At a time when normal is being redefined, eCampus.com remains a trusted source for course materials, offering students a chance to be celebrated in the process."
