college street teams

Freshmen orientation is a fun, exciting, and adrenalin-pumping week for many freshmen entering college for the first time.  Freshmen orientation is the schools informal introduction and inauguration to the college, which hold activities ranging from campus tours, physical activities, games, and seminars. Seniors and juniors lead the new students in the activities, so that the new student can bond with one another.  Many of the colleges also encourage that parents come to the first day of orientation, to help with paper work, moving into the dorms, and help the student get situated.

That is why Campus Solutions is organizing street teams on campus during orientation week to help brands make contact with future and potential customers. By having our street team on campus during orientation week we are able to introduce new products not only to the students but also to their parents.

A few of the things our street teams do during freshmen orientation week

• Pass material to parents and students during seminars

• Help in the moving process and by providing boxes with a certain brands logo

• Offering promotional coupons to certain stores in return for joining certain companies social media sites

• And the list of ideas are endless……

Come and speak with Campus Solutions and let’s talk about what we can do for you! Freshmen orientation is just around the corner and we feel confident that we can give your brand the edge it needs to penetrate campuses around the nation.

You might remember your college campus filled with smoke, people grabbing a cigarette before, during and after class. Can you imagine not having to dart those smoke puffs every 5 feet? Not worrying about stepping on a partially lit cigarette that the person in front of you just dropped? According to U.S. News, in the beginning of 2012 over 600 colleges and universities announced they would be smoke-free. This leaves many nicotine addicts in the dust, with no place to go to smoke a cigarette, especially those that live in the dorms. This only leaves one option: quit!

For the majority of students that do not smoke (approximately 70%,) a smoke free campus would be a big plus. Secondhand smoke will become a thing of the past on these college campuses.

Americans for Nonsmokers Rights is doing a great job promoting smoke free campuses across the country and we hope this phenomenon will continue to grow.

For those students trying to quit, what a great incentive! For brands, there is so much potential for creative college media campaigns.

When considering a brand’s marketing strategy to reach college students over the summer, brands should not overlook the advantages of promoting on campus.  On average, 35% of college students stay on campus during the summer.  Most states now require students to enroll in at least one summer semester which keeps campuses busy during the summer months.  Brands can take advantage of reaching large groups of students in a relatively clutter-free environment through college event marketing and guerrilla marketing.

With the increased competition among applicants for college acceptance letters, many freshman and transfers students are beginning classes at their new campus in the summer rather than the fall.  Reach these students before the college Back To School season begins by taking advantage of Campus Solutions and our company’s on-campus media network and implementing a memorable brand experience.
