Our corporate office of advertising and promotions provides training, direction and supervision in these areas to the local store. Special promotional materials are produced and made available to the stores to be adapted to local events. Sudden illness and other emergencies that take key employees out of the store can be devastating to an individual store. We can immediately have a replacement in the store from another of our stores or our corporate offices so there is no disruption of service. Continuing upgrades and improvements are made to keep the store fresh and customer convenient.
Contractors have greater access to used books.
The wholesale division of the company provides first access for our own stores to the used books in our warehouse. Books needed for the next semester on your campus can not only be purchased on your campus, but the list can be sent to our buyers on all other campuses in order to provide as many used books as possible to students. Technology is provided through the contractor at no cost to the school. An Internet Web Site can be provided for the school through a corporate program which otherwise would be too expensive for the local store to create and maintain. Employees are more motivated.
