eCampus.com K-12 Announces Winner in Free Textbooks and Nintendo Switch Giveaway to Promote Online Buybacks During Quarantine
eCampus.com Online Bookstores provided contactless textbook buybacks to over 250 partner schools as part of its course materials solution for K-12 and higher education institutions.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- eCampus.com K-12 has announced the winner of its successful textbook buyback giveaway, awarding the grand prize of a free Nintendo Switch and a $250 textbook scholarship to Anaston Ragsdale from Mount Paran Christian School in Kennesaw, Georgia. Ragsdale was randomly selected from thousands of participants who became eligible after selling at least one textbook back through their eCampus.com Online Bookstore from May 14, 2020 - July 15, 2020.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools were unable to conduct traditional onsite textbook buybacks at the end of the school year. eCampus.com partner schools were able to quickly pivot to online buybacks from the comfort and safety of their homes. To further promote this shift, eCampus.com K-12 launched the giveaway to help students enjoy the online textbook buyback process and introduce an added benefit to selling back books during an unpredictable time. Any student currently enrolled at an eCampus.com K-12 Online Bookstore was eligible to participate, resulting in thousands of entries. By selling at least one textbook online, students were automatically entered to win a $250 textbook scholarship and a free Nintendo Switch.
Online textbook buybacks were a vital component to the 2019-2020 school year as schools were forced to close their doors to in-person instruction. Remaining fully operational, eCampus.com K-12 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. eCampus.com saw favorable increases in online buybacks during this time as students responded to the company's commitment to textbook affordability and convenience.
"We've always had a good experience with our eCampus.com Online Bookstore," said Brenda Ragsdale, Anaston's mother. "The textbooks come quickly and we've also had a positive experience selling back our textbooks at the end of the year." Mount Paran Christian School has been a valued eCampus.com Online Bookstore partner since 2019, where students are able to take advantage of a 24/7 online bookstore offering the guaranteed right course materials with free shipping promotions.
In addition to the grand prize winner, additional winners were selected to receive a $250 textbook scholarship, including the Kozak family from Notre Dame Preparatory School in Towson, Maryland, and Beth L. from Marian High School in Omaha, Nebraska.
"eCampus makes the process of purchasing my books so easy," says Beth. "They have all of my classes listed and let me know quickly what textbooks and digital downloads I'll need and whether it's cheaper to buy used, new or through their marketplace. I love the confirmation email with photos of each item so I can confirm when I receive them."
"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. "We understand the challenges families are facing and are committed to being a trusted source for course materials to ensure learning continues whether in class or at home."
