Last Updated: 21 July 2025

O-Day! More than anything, it focuses on attracting students. At universities and colleges across Australia, orientation day is bustling with activity. To stand out, you must get your marketing right. Clubs, societies, and faculties compete fiercely to recruit new members.

Many groups seek attention, including:

– Department faculties aiming to enrol students in courses
– Sporting clubs
– Social clubs
– Activity clubs
– Hobby clubs
– Religious clubs

All of these organizations want to engage new and existing students. Fortunately, freebies are a great way to grab attention. A nicely branded gift can attract even more interest. Consider giving a gift when signing up a new student. This approach enhances your appeal and delights new students, leading them to refer a friend.

To add to the ambience of things we would recommend having a uniform of some sort and even a bbq to attract customers.  When it comes to merchandise though here are some great ideas which we know will rock because they are simply fun products that students will absolutely love.

Why Use Promotional Products During O-Week

Orientation Week is a pivotal moment for university clubs and groups to establish a strong presence on campus. By incorporating promotional products into their advertising strategy, societies can increase visibility, bolster membership and foster a sense of camaraderie amongst new students. Branded merchandise such as pens, tote bags, and drinkware, not only catch the eye, but also serve as practical tokens that students will utilise throughout their academic journey.

These items offer a subtle yet effective means of promotion, continuously reminding students of the club’s existence and ethos. Moreover, promotional products can be a catalyst for conversation, encouraging students to share their experiences and enthusiasm with peers. This organic networking can lead to higher engagement, solidifying a group’s reputation on campus.

In conclusion, investing in promotional products during Orientation Week can have a lasting impact on a club’s success. By providing students with tangible reminders of the experiences and values offered, university societies can forge strong connections and foster a sense of belonging amongst their members.
