The Key to Building a Strong Marketing Connection on Campus

Tuesday, February 14, 2012 by OnCampus Marketing Team
The most important key to developing a strong market connect with students on campus is getting to know them.  And understand them.  The college student audience is unique, made up of millions of young people out on their own for the first time in their lives.  They are intelligent, knowledgeable, technically savvy, and eager to become a part of the world. 
This group is acutely aware of advertising, how it works, and, more importantly, how it does NOT work.  They are often quite critical of how products and their messages are presented, and also quite quick to grab onto the ads that move them.  Millennials generally are anxious to belong, to fit in, and to be respected.  They are anxious to be treated like adults, though they don't necessarily have all "the tools" yet.

To market products to the college students of today means presenting your advertising message in their terms, and in their media.  They are on-line more than any other age-group, they totally understand it, and are masters at maneuvering through it.  They read mass media and they read the campus newspaper passionately.  

What makes the college newspaper such a marvelous marketing venue on campus is that it is a media written by college students, about college students and activities, and read by college students.  This makes it the truest form of advertising, and the one totally trusted by the campus community.  It also makes it an ideal place for your product ads and promotions.
