Campus Coupons offer discounts from local businesses and are sold for $10 at the bookstore. "It's from a group that says they offer similar college coupon programs in Georgia and elsewhere," Sterne said. Volume One was listed on last year's UCC but dropped to join Campus Coupons, Sterne said. "We're paying about one-tenth of what we paid to be on the University Club Card. "We paid much more money to be on that card, and the response was very little in sales. We just started selling and being a part of Campus Coupons, so it's too early to tell its success," he said. The Tan Spa, also included in Campus Coupons, paid $300 to join the program, Mitchell said. "We're getting more customers through that program."
