Go Green on campus- Recycling

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Campus Solutions Inc., one of only a few firms specializing in college event marketing, has established a new college media outlet that allows brands to reach students and Go Green on campus.  Campus Solutions is working with corporations to implement a number of Go Green projects on colleges and universities that either limit unnecessary waste; conserve our natural resources; provide corporate-sponsored tree planting initiatives or encourage campus beautification projects.  Each of these strategies delivers unparalleled brand awareness, generates brand appreciation amongst the prized college student demographic and allows brands to demonstrate their greenness.

Unnecessary waste of paper, plastic, aluminum, and cell phones occurs on campus everyday.  Campus Solutions and our higher education partners are providing exclusive go green on campus opportunities on recycling receptacles that will be displayed throughout campus. The amount of paper that is never recycled is staggering, so is the waste from the packaging material during back to school or beverage containers throughout the year.  

Your brand’s message will be visible throughout the campus, within the residence halls and associated with the school’s proactive measures to help reduce and recycle our natural resources.  A Go Green on campus recycling strategy will be tailored specific to your brand and can be either regional or national in scope.  For more information, please visit our website at www.campussolutionsinc.com or email Bryan Carbone directly at Bryan@campussolutionsinc.com.

Younger generations targeted in an effort to invigorate home sales

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

 

In parts of Florida, one of the regions of the country where home prices have been hit the hardest, real estate agencies are developing new approaches to attract younger clients.  With the substantial surplus of homes on the market, first-time homeowners are an extremely appealing consumer group as they are not tied to the sale of an existing home.  This trend in real estate is convincing companies to develop new strategies when targeting this younger consumer.  

If Florida continues to be an indicator as to where real estate is heading, expect real estate agencies on a national level to follow.  Campus Solutions will be working with real estate agencies and home builders to develop effective strategies to reach college graduates and those on the cusp of graduation.  

Here’s a link from Tampabays.10.com that we found interesting.  For more information, please feel free to visit Campus Solutions Inc. at www.campussolutionsinc.com or reach Bryan Carbone directly at bryan@campussolutionsinc.com.

With this being the inaugural Blog post, a quick hello to everyone throughout the world interested in college marketing, youth marketing, college event marketing, spring break promotions, online marketing, beach advertising, college newspapers and college sampling. My name is Bryan Carbone (often mispelled as Brian Carbone, which is cool) founder of Campus Solutions, Inc., ( www.campussolutionsinc.com) one of the fastest growing college marketing companies in the country. The objective of this blog is to share effective methods that our company and others have developed and provide for brands and agencies interested in reaching not only college students but those within the 18-24 year old demographic.

Companies both large and small have realized the importance of reaching this consumer group. The college student demographic accounts for well over 200 billion in consumer spending and this statistic only appears to be growing as students are preparing for the 2008-2009 school season. Campus Solutions’s success is largely due in part to our experienced staff that is present at each campus event and the networks and relationships we have established with national organizations, colleges and universities and college student groups.

We encourage you to view our website at www.campussolutionsinc.com or feel free to reach me directly at bryan@campussolutionsinc.com – Again, hello to all those in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and everyone in the states and everyone else who has either realized the importance of reaching the college student demographic or those who are interested in pursuing and developing a college marketing campaign.

The objective of this blog is to share the most innovative programs that marketers are using to reach students either on or off campus. We encourage college marketing companies, brands, agencies and students to share recent campaign success stories.

Finally, as an experienced college event marketing specialist, I encourage any brand or agency not familiar with the college marketing industry to contact an experienced college marketing company to ensure your college advertising campaign runs smoothly.
