Preparing for Mobile Sales and Events

As COVID-19 restrictions begin to lift, mobile sales and events will still be pivotal to the success of college stores. From pop-up locations to campus events and celebrations, the bookstore needs to be where students and customers congregate. That’s why it's important that your store’s retail system has the mobile options necessary to meet customer demands inside and out of the bookstore.

Our store’s relationship with MBS has been extremely beneficial. We’ve gotten the total package through our partnership — everything we use is integrated. No matter what goal we’ve tried to accomplish, we’ve always gone through MBS.
