In what is certain to be another close presidential election, the Democratic Party is hoping that a large turnout among young adults will solidify Barack Obama’s presidential nomination. America’s youth has been particularly passionate for Barack Obama and the Party hopes that this election, young people will come out and vote in numbers. With just over two months before the general election, a concentrated push to reach the 18-29 year old demographic is underway.
Campus Solutions, Inc., a premiere campus event marketing company specializing in reaching the college student demographic, is providing opportunities for both political parties to target the college vote. The strategy is to cultivate relationship with key influencer networks and drive college students to the polls.
As students are making their way back to school, Campus Solutions’s experienced college street teams will be targeting colleges and universities in swing states with on-campus interactive promotions and off-campus events. Text messaging campaigns, college newspaper advertising and campus posterings are also great methods to reach college students.
Co-sponsored events may also be available with a number of groups on both the left and right which have a strong presence on campuses. Some of the groups on the left might include College Dems, United States Student Association, and Young Democrats of America. On the right, the College Reps are extremely well organized on college campuses.

By taking simple steps, the average college student can significantly reduce the amount of water and energy they use on a daily basis.
Go Green On Campus- Water and Energy Conservation: Campus Solutions will be teaming up with brands to encourage college students to conserve water and energy through our clients’ on-campus initiatives. Acting as your brand ambassadors, our street teams will be providing college students with energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs. These bulbs will replace existing light bulbs in the students’ residence halls, off-campus apartments, fraternity and sorority houses. Two-sided branding will be available on the packaging material and your company’s street teams will be dressed in your company’s attire. Each student will receive their energy-saving fluorescent light bulb as well as your company’s marketing material and/or sample.
Students can use less energy by shutting down their computers at the end of the day and unplugging cell phone chargers whenever possible. Adjusting the thermostat just a degree or two (warmer in warmer months, cooler in cool months) saves energy without much effort.
Other opportunities include water conservation competitions both on-campus and at off-campus bars and parties. Turning off the water while brushing can save nearly 8 gallons of water per brush. Branded giveaways promoting turning off the water while brushing will be provided to students with your company’s message and logo.
Campus Solutions, Inc. will work with your company to promote these college brand-sponsored initiatives through some of the most effective college media outlets: college newspapers, campus postering and college street teams. For more information on how your company can go green on campus or any other college marketing strategy, please visit Campus Solutions’s website at www.campussolutionsinc.com or feel free to reach Bryan Carbone directly at Bryan.

Campus Solutions, Inc. encourages our clients to consider methods to reduce energy consumption and conserve our natural resources on each college and off-campus event. One strategy to conserve energy is utilizing pedal energy. Bicycle pedal power creates enough energy for an event by transferring human energy into power. A bicycle will be attached to a generator and your event will be powered by students. This is also a great way to encourage student interaction and prizes may be awarded to students who bike for over five minutes.
Go Green On Campus- Pedal For Power: Using alternative energy powering your brand’s event is another great opportunity to improve your brand’s green image and show off your brand’s greenness to college students. Students will be keeping your event powered, generating sufficient energy to power video games, laptops, music and more. Campus Solutions provides a number of college marketing strategies allowing companies to Go Green On Campus. For more information, please visit Campus Solutions’s website or feel free to reach Bryan Carbone directly at Bryan.

For products geared toward college athletes, Campus Solutions, Inc. is providing our clients with a precisely-targeted delivery network in order to reach active young men and women through campus event marketing through the college recreation centers.
If the target audience is athletic college students, one obvious category would be to reach college men and women who participate in school sports and work out at the college recreation center. Most athletes tote along their gym outfits and a beverage to stay hydrated for their grueling workouts. We can capitalize on this trend by providing a product that they can rely on and sample at the time they need it most.
Campus Solutions is recognized for providing our clients with opportunities to target specific niches within the college student demographic. For more information, please visit Campus Solutions’s website or feel free to reach Bryan Carbone directly at Bryan.

How does a college consumer differentiate your product from your competitor? Having your product on the shelves of hundreds of grocers and national chains local to campus is ideal but the trick becomes, how do you differentiate yourself amidst the myriad of other competing products within those chains? And how do your potential clients experience your product to determine its inherent value?
Sampling continues to be one of the most effective methods to build brand loyalty among college students. Geared around either the spring or fall semesters, Campus Solutions provides our clients with a number of unique sampling opportunities on campuses throughout the country. Customized branded booths, branded tabled events and brand ambassadors may be incorporated or your company may choose to utilize a mobile college street team where your experienced college street team saturates campus. Companies may choose to target schools with the largest number of undergraduates or reach those schools closest in proximity to specific vendors.
Our clients are provided with the most effective college marketing strategy specific to their brand. For more information, please visit Campus Solutions or feel free to reach Bryan Carbone directly at Bryan.
