What does book.ly do?
Book.ly is a price comparison site that helps people save money and time when buying books, finding the lowest price for every book on students need.
How are they different?
Book.ly has school specific information so it knows what books students need for each class and which of our reputable affiliates provides those books at the lowest price, offering the opportunity to purchase new/used books, e-books, or even rent.
Once students complete their courses, they may sell their books back. book.ly offers all purchasing and selling options, so students can truly save and earn the most.
Why could book.ly be BIG?
College students need no reminder of how much they need to budget for textbooks. Still, fewer than 20% of college students shop online for textbooks, even though this is by far the most cost effective option. Even students that do shop online, don’t save as much as they could because they don’t compare the prices among various vendors.
book.ly is trying to change that. We are the solution to make online shopping quick and efficient.
How they plan to make money:
Book.ly does not sell textbooks. We compare the prices for textbooks at trusted third-party merchants and receive a referral commission for each sale made through book.ly.
