The Valore Qualities
Valore took its name from the word “valor”, which means having the strength of mind or spirit to encounter danger with firmness. People with valor are brave, strong, and courageous. These were the qualities held by a small group of college students when they started the company in 2002. At Valore, we believe knowledge is power, so we started the company in an effort to help fellow students buy textbooks at lower prices and to offer more money back for books sold at the end of each semester. As the company has grown, the Valore Team has embraced the qualities of life that reflect our company: focus, dedication, bravery, and boldness.
The Valore Values
Even though Valore has grown at a rapid rate, we have remained dedicated to giving our customers the best possible service by focusing on five values:
Price. Students can save up to 70 percent off retail price by purchasing their textbooks through our virtual marketplace, which has more than 3,000 sellers and 100 million title selections. Our marketplace also offers international textbook editions, which are offered at prices that are greatly reduced from U.S. prices, and instructor’s editions. This allows us to provide our customers with some of the lowest-priced books on the Internet!
Quality. Our customers are part of the Valore team, so it is important to us that the sellers participating in our marketplace hold the same standards of quality that we do. We monitor service on a continual basis and encourage feedback from our customers. We even have a real person to answer your questions over the phone!
Reliability. We focus on bringing each and every customer a great book buying and selling experience. Our secure servers protect your personal information through advanced encryption and firewall technology, and you have the ability to track your order.
Simplicity. We want your Valore shopping experience to be the best on the Internet, so we make it as simple as possible to find what you’re looking for. Our state-of-the-art search technology makes it easy to locate book titles. Select the price you want, add the book to your cart, and check out!
Character. The Valore qualities of focus, dedication, bravery, and boldness have allowed us to develop a unique business model that is changing the textbook industry, and we are excited about what the future holds. We value the trust our customers have in us and hope you find Valore the best place to buy and sell your textbooks.
In our quest for continuous improvement, please contact us if you have any questions or comments.
