Title: VarsityBooks woos college market with a high-profile ad campaign

Summary: District-based VarsityBooks.com, an Internet-only retailer of college textbooks, has begun a national advertising campaign that will appear in places such as Microsoft's Sidewalk Internet site and "Loveline," a popular youth-oriented talk show on MTV. The campaign is part of an effort by Varsity to increase its profile beyond its East Coast roots. The company now offers book lists for 58 schools, with only a handful west of the Mississippi River, though it also sells popular titles used by hundreds of other institutions. The campaign is not aimed against mainstream on-line competitors, such as amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.
