Especially during economic uncertainties, it is important to remember the value of the college consumer.  Recent surveys suggest that college students continue to spend their discretionary income this season on gifts and retail.  Whether your company is interested in targeting students on or off campus, Campus Solutions, Inc. provides a number of unique spring semester marketing initiatives for companies interested in marketing to college students.

One unique trend in higher education is the increase of midyear enrollment.  Although the fall semester continues to be the first semester for most students, many schools are receiving too many qualified applicants to accept each student.  And students are choosing midyear enrollment and delaying their education to be accepted to their first choice.  For a sampling endeavor, the spring semester allows for companies to experiment with a campus sampling program by targeting incoming freshmen during the spring semester.

This year, Panama City Beach, FL, South Padre Island and other U.S. destinations are expecting to receive additional spring breakers as more students plan on staying in the country this spring break.  Campus Solutions, Inc. provides ultimate branding opportunities for companies to reach hundreds of thousands of college students during spring break.

March Madness generates a great deal of excitement and rivalry on campuses throughout the country.  Campus Solutions, Inc. offers a number of unique marketing opportunities during March Madness reaching students on campuses with the most prominent college basketball programs.

College campuses become extremely busy in the spring as the temperatures warm.  Student lawns are saturated with students laying out, studying or participating in a physical activity.  A street team effort where our company’s experienced staff who are familiar with each campus will be acting as your brand’s street team and providing premiums and samples to students throughout the semester.

Finally, for those brands interested in reaching students and parents of students during graduation, we offer both traditional and non-traditional media opportunities that target both parents and students during the graduation ceremonies.  For more information on these or other college marketing opportunities, please visit our website at www.campussolutionsinc.com or feel free to reach Bryan Carbone at bryan.

The sport of outdoor volleyball has seen it’s popularity in the United States soar in recent years.  On college campuses, it is common to see teams of college men, women and coeds participating in a game of volleyball being played at one of the active fraternity houses or throughout campus.  Volleyball is the country’s 2nd most popular participation sport behind soccer.  At a college or university, groups of college students will attend a volleyball match to support their friends, fraternity brothers or sisters.

For both parents and students alike, Parents Weekend is a date marked on everyone’s calendar.  Parents Weekend is often the first time a parent returns to school after moving their student in at the beginning of the school year.  During the weekend, parents asses their child’s living situation and make purchases in retail stores in the area.  Shopping malls are busy as parents spend money in retail stores buying students warmer clothing for the cooler season.  Other common purchases include products for the home, whether its refilling exhausted supplies buying groceries or making home improvements.  Purchases which may have been overlooked at the beginning of the school year have been added to a “To Do List”.

Parents Weekend is a great college marketing and parent marketing opportunity that allows a brand to reach both demographics as a number of purchase decisions are being made.  Campus Solutions Inc., a premiere college marketing company specializing in campus event marketing and nontraditional advertising, is providing our clients with effective strategies to reach college students and their parents during Parents Weekend and throughout the school year.

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.

Many new products and technology geared towards college students need to be experienced first hand for students to realize the value of the product or service.  As college students are more likely to purchase a product after trying it, how does a brand reach a large group of students in a confined setting and interact with the college consumer?

On-campus promotions and college event marketing initiatives allow companies to break through the media clutter that barrage students on a daily basis.

Campus Solutions has developed the ultimate branded student union events for our clients’ videos, television premieres, game systems, music and online videos.  Our clients are provided with turnkey campus tours staffed by experienced campus marketing specialists.  All equipment necessary for maximum performance of your product will be setup at your branded event.  For more information, please visit Campus Solutions or feel free to reach Bryan Carbone directly at Bryan.

With Latinos making up the largest ethnic group in the country, companies both small and large have realized the importance of promoting to the Hispanic consumer.  On college campuses, approximately 1.2 million Latino college students are enrolled in either a two-year or four-year college, a large percentage of which are first-generation college students.

During the years that consumers are attending college, they are making a number of first-time purchase decisions.  Campus Solutions connects brands with today’s Latino college student by implementing customized marketing programs that tailor to the Latino community.  Our clients are provided the opportunity to generate brand loyalty among the Latino college student demographic.

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.

The student union is typically one of the most active locations on campus.  Students pass by these areas on their way to class, in between classes and as they break for lunch.  On-campus restaurants, the college bookstore and student mailboxes are often found at the campus student union.  Campus Solutions provides a number of student union event marketing initiatives where brands can reach college students using an interactive approach.

From early morning and throughout the afternoon, a campus screening of your brand’s commercial or movie will take place in the student union.  Multiple screenings will be held throughout the day, allowing the most students to attend an upcoming screening.  The focus of the campaign may be placed on either audience feedback, awareness of the commercial/film or even to generate membership on site.  Our staff will be working as your brand ambassadors and implementing college screenings on campuses across the country.
