Promotional Items for Tertiary Students

Promotional items for tertiary students are a great way to get your brand noticed in and around school. There is quite a huge array of products that would make for fantastic branded items for your company, club or event. The good thing about selecting products for uni or college students is that you wont have to worry so much about safety compared to primary school students.

To really make your merchandise last a long time advertising wise we would recomend to distribute them before the beginning of a semester. Orientation days or information days make for great timing whilst graduation gifts at the end of study can really make for a fantastic memorable occasion for merchandising or gifting.

There are quite a few products which will appeal to students. Some more than others. When choosing we would recomend to consider the event and the purpose for your items. Is it to attract students to your club or society? Or perhaps is it to attract potential students to your course or institution. Perhaps your item is a thank you item or a memento gift. Its worthwhile to decide what the item is for and to select one that would appeal the most. Some simple tips:

- Colourful merchandise are a great way to attract students or visitors to your brand or to your information sessions and adds ambience and fun - Conservative colours like browns black or silver make for a more professional feel but also gives the feeling of tradition and dependability

- Simply functional items may not be a good idea. Students really need to have items which are attractive with modern designs and finishes.

- Avoid items where you know they will have a lot of. For example avoid promotional pens or round stressballs. Opt for funky pens like giant pens or an alternate shaped stress shape.

- Consider portabiliy. For example a golf umbrella may not be a good idea compared to a fold up one.

- Think about where students will spend most of their time doing and using. Consider selecting products which then enhance as accessories to these. Things like Iphone or mobile phone socks are a great idea. A mousepad is also a good low cost idea too.
