Leading online textbook retailer, eCampus.com, was curious as to what its student customers would want as a gift for the holiday season. eCampus.com asked its customers one question, "What would you buy yourself if you had an extra $ 40?"
Students responded in various ways. Even though the question was set up to get the students to choose an item they would buy for themselves, many students said that they would donate an extra $ 40 if they had it. Sonja Smith-Gamble, a graduate student at Lindsay Wilson College, said this ?I would use an extra $ 40 by donating it to feed the children of America or to a toy drive so children in America will have a new toy for Christmas?. Several other students said that they would use and extra forty dollars to go home and spend the holidays with their family. Some students however did specify gifts they would buy for themselves if they had the chance. Johanel Reyes of Montclair State University of New Jersey had this to say ?Favorite gift under $ 40 would be a cool new case for my phone?.
eCampus.com chose three different winners from the survey to receive what gift they desired. Bobby Nathan from Amberton University was awarded $ 40 in eCampus.com store credit, Brianna Leonti from Rhode Island College was awarded a $ 40 gas card and David Going from West Virginia University was awarded a compilation of Eric Clapton songs.
?We love having these types of contests because not only do we gain incite into the wants and needs of our customers, but we get to provide a lucky student with a huge discount on our already cheap textbooks", said eCampus.com president and CEO Matt Montgomery.
Students can sell textbooks to eCampus.com through their Textbook Buyback Program and get on average, $ 40 for each textbook sold. eCampus.com also offers an extra 20% extra when store credit is chosen as the payment option. Students can then use the store credit to rent textbooks the following semester and save even more money.
