On-campus entrepreneurs Scott Neuberger and Josh Kowitt founded
CollegeBoxes.com after recognizing a lack of dependable student storage
and shipping options. Seven years later the need for the convenience of
their service remains the same, but their customers have become more
sophisticated and internet savvy. The site's recent re-envisioning has
been driven by this paradigm shift in online business processes and the
popularity of the company as a whole.

"As College Boxes
grows and develops as a company, it has become more important that our
website reflects this maturation in both appearance and usability,"
said Katie Cohen, the new Director of Marketing. "College students are
incredibly technologically savvy and represent a generation that has
grown up on the internet. A more sophisticated design not only appeals
to parents but to today's web-aware college students."
The implementation of cutting-edge Ajax coding techniques has increased
the speed and interactivity of the site, while user interface upgrades
make navigation super-intuitive. First-time users are greeted by an
upgraded sign-up wizard designed to get the CollegeBoxes
experience started as quickly as possible. Returning visitors will
enjoy the enhanced account management capabilities now offered.
Improved profile pages now allow users to print UPS labels, see the
status of shipments and store a greater number of personal details to
increase the ease of contact and follow-up business. More contextual
help is available as users navigate the site including detailed
step-by-step information on where to pick up supplies (boxes, trunks,
etc.) how to schedule a pick up date and instructions for easily
insuring your belongings.
CollegeBoxes.com's redesign is a direct response to an audience of
students that, more than ever, expect added value from a business that
conducts itself prominently on the web. The website is not simply a
marketing tool but a living, breathing part of the business and the
exemplary customer service that supports it. Services include summer storage,
study abroad storage, national shipping and appliance rentals. For more

new site design for yourself, please visit www.CollegeBoxes.com or call toll free 866-BOX-IT-UP.
