CampusWise is a textbook exchange for ODU students, helping them buy and sell books with each other

Friday, February 27, 2015

I am an ODU student and one of the founders of a new website which has just launched at Old Dominion University! The website is a textbook exchange for ODU students, helping them buy and sell books with each other. We just launched at ODU this semester and we couldn't believe the results. We had over 300 students sign-on, and together they bought over $1,300 in books and saved over $3,700 compared to what they would've paid at the university bookstore! We were blown away from the responses that we got from students! Students told us about how much money they had saved, how much easier it was, and how much they appreciated that there was finally a better way for them to get their books. The Virginia Pilot, Inside Business - The Hampton Roads Business Journal, and The Mace and Crown newspaper has already written articles about the site, and it has been talked about on the air by WODU studios. We are being featured on VentureHive's Newsletter this week and are also being featured in the ODU Honors College Newsletter. http://hamptonroads.com/2015/02/cost-textbooks-got-you-down-odu-students-app-wise-choice?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter http://insidebiz.com/news/odu-students-new-business-textbook-case http://www.maceandcrown.com/2014/11/23/get-smart-textbooks-campuswise/ We hope to continue to grow the site, including spread to other Virginia colleges and launch an app which will significantly improve the usability of the site! We will also continue to meet with the consultants at the STROME Entrepreneurial Center at ODU and are very appreciative of the entrepreneurial focus the University has established. We also just launched on Kickstarter, in order to help fund the development of our app and other aspects of growing the site.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/709860276/campuswisecom We are just hoping to spread word of the site to students and alumni!
