My Company: ScholarBuys Academic Marketing serves niche markets within the academic space. Our highly experienced management team is composed of seasoned executives with a strong background with academic software. Simply put, we can get your product in front of our interactive and loyal customers. As a value added reseller of computer software, hardware and peripherals; ScholarBuys is committed exclusively to the academic institution market. Our unique focus is partnering with academic consortia and decentralized university systems. By coordinating the acquisition power of a consortium’s constituents, ScholarBuys negotiates special agreements with technology publishers on the consortium’s behalf. These agreements allow consortium members to obtain economies of scale, and at the same time provide publishers access to a broad audience through streamlined marketing efforts. You may have noticed that we recently started to develop new brands underneath the ScholarBuys Academic Marketing umbrella. This was done to pinpoint market into multiple segments. We are currently putting the final touches on our newest project, VarsityBuys.com. We have dipped our toes into the ecommerce market previously but never fully committed enough resources to it. With VarsityBuys.com we are diving in head first and hope to make big splash! VarsityBuys.com is heavily focused on the College Student market. The methodology behind the site and its features will be truly groundbreaking for our industry. In today's turbulent economy, it's important to have a stable business partner that you can rely on. ScholarBuys is a privately held company that is self funded and debt free. Our spectacular success amidst a down market often prompts people to inquire about the secret to our success. Our philosophy is simple; we run a very lean operation, incorporate innovative strategies, and focus on building long term relationships.
