Campus Marketing

One of my key moneymakers is marketing on college campuses. I live around a dozen of them, so I spend my weekends flyering and passing out handouts. Here are some tips:

1. Stay legal. Put your flyers in properly designated areas. This isn't because I have some great respect for the law, but because the flyer won't last 6 hours if it's somewhere it shouldn't be.

2. Despite what I just said, put them all over bathrooms. Bathrooms own for grabbing people's attention.

3. Try to get everything in on Sunday. That way, all the students that are coming back to campus on Monday will see your ads.

I felt inclined to add some tips about making great flyers, but I'll save that for another post.  Till next time,

    And most importantly, if you're advertising on campus, you should be sure to check with your universities local rules via a rulebook or online.

    Also make sure you put multiple flyers in one spot because people put their flyers over yours.
