Vendor Opportunities

ICBA Vendor Partnerships
Your Opportunity for the College Market

Why not make your best efforts where they will bring you the best rewards? ICBA partnerships offer vendors a unique opportunity to reach the college store market.

Our Members Are Our Owners
What does this mean to you, the vendor? ICBA programs have a long history of strong buyer support. ICBA owners are committed to the success of their cooperative. ICBA's core business is the creation of cooperative retail solutions for our owners.

Bookstores Profit
ICBA is not a vendor. We are a non-profit, mutual benefit corporation. All of the savings (discounts, rebates, concessions, etc.) we achieve go toward the success of our member bookstores. Your incentives reach your customer.

A Level Playing Field
ICBA makes every effort to provide a "level playing field" for vendors to compete. We want you to be considered on the merits of your proposal. The ICBA process is to inform vendors of how and why we make our decisions, because the better we communicate with vendors, the more competitive you become.

Direct Vendor-Buyer Relationships
ICBA programs are designed to maintain and enhance direct vendor-buyer connections. Buyers meet with, order, take receipt, and pay directly with you, the vendor. Our goal is to improve this relationship, not to obstruct it.

Institutional Stores Exclusively
ICBA remains the only organization in the college store industry dedicated exclusively to institutional stores. Bookstores sharing success since 1927.

ICBA - Open For Business

You can be part of this success. Currently, ICBA has a membership of over one hundred four-year and two-year institutional bookstores. ICBA stores serve a combined FTE of over one million students, with sales exceeding three quarters of a billion dollars. Why not make your best efforts where they will bring you the best rewards?
