How Did it All Begin?
College-Cram.com is the flagship product of The Smartacus Corporation. Smartacus was formed in 2002 by college-publishing veterans who realized that textbooks were too expensive and didn't meet the needs of college students. Thus, College-Cram was borne from the desire to help students.
College-Cram.com is a 24/7 online tutorial library providing study sheets, interactive Flash™ learning modules (we call them Cramlets™), and other educational materials that help college students learn. We produce our own educational content, leveraging the skills and abilities of former teachers, native language speakers, and professionals with advanced degrees. These resources are reviewed by professional editors to ensure accuracy, and by folks who barely passed their courses to make certain they're helpful.
We operated for several semesters without advertisements and charging subscription fees for access to our content. However, extensive market research convinced us to transform the site (on August 1, 2006) to free access with registration, supported by advertising revenues. Student response has been overwhelmingly positive since this change, and our customer base has seen explosive growth.
With the popularity of Facebook, MySpace, and other social networking websites, we upgraded College-Cram in Summer of 2007 to incorporate a social learning approach. Student response has once again been both positive and explosive.
We are proud to help students succeed in their studies, and look forward to the opportunity to help you succeed in your business by helping you advertise to college students.
