Preparing to exhibit at a Freshers' Fair this autumn but haven't managed to nail the perfect promotional products to giveaway to students yet? Don't panic: Total Merchandise is here to help.
Close to two million undergraduates entered the UK university system between 2017 and 2018. The meaning of this for your business in 2019? A Freshers' Fair can offer significant potential to amplify your brand, whether you're a one-man-band working in a university town or are part of a nationwide (or even global) chain that could benefit from getting new eyeballs on your logo. And what better way to do this than with carefully chosen promotional merchandise that will ensure your business is top-of-the-class for brand awareness...?
A Freshers' Fair can also offer educational establishments a fantastic opportunity to generate awareness for their institution and its academic offerings. Something as simple as a logo-branded hoodie worn out-and-about by a student will be seen countless times and help generate a little free publicity for the university with each wear.
(Want to find out more about the various benefits of promotional giveaways at a Freshers' Fair? Read our blog post on the subject, if you haven't already!)
Not sure which product(s) to choose for your freshers' promotional plans? We've rounded up some of the most popular items for students to receive, that combine brilliant branding potential for your business along with something that students will actually want to use. Read on to find out more...
Promotional BiC Booklet with Digital Ballpen
A booklet complete with sticky notes, a scratch pad, 125 page flags and a digital pen will obviously make note-taking a breeze. Whether they're a fresh-faced first-year or a post-grad preparing to begin a Masters course, students will always need stationery. Arming them with these handy items they can actually use in classes will not only help them but will also offer your business a little extra awareness every time it's used. The result? Neat note-taking and a consistent day-to-day position for your brand in the user's daily life.
Want some inspiration? Something like these BiC Booklet with Digital Ballpens makes for a fantastic giveaway: cost-efficient for tight marketing budgets, it offers a generous amount of print space for your artwork on the front cover and pen.
