Topics: Campus Media

Posted by: Marketing

If you’ve been paying attention, you’re fully convinced of the value of university advertising. But you may be wondering, how do I advertise on campus? You may know what your campus media solutions are and how to choose target schools that meet your needs, but how do you actually find campus advertising opportunities? Let’s explore your options.

There are two paths you can take to advertise on college campuses:

 

1. Work with the campus directly.

If you’re attempting a DIY approach to campus advertising, you will need to contact individual departments (such as Business Services, Transportation, and/or Athletics) at each school of interest to see what they have to offer. 

This can be a time consuming process, and may not garner the results you’re looking for. It may be difficult to discover who the relevant contacts are and track them down. They may not know all the options available to you or give you the information you need to create an effective campaign that meets campus restrictions. And the need to work with multiple departments makes it tricky to create an encompassing yet cohesive campaign. Thankfully, there’s another way to advertise on campus.

2. Go through a campus advertising agency.

The campus market tends to be fragmented with many vendors and different rules than municipal markets. Every campus is different. An experienced agency knows what opportunities exist, what works, what’s allowed, what’s been done, and what can be done.
