Top 3 Promotional Product Sections For Universities
It can be confusing sometimes to pick the best promotional products to work for your university, so we thought we’d make it a bit easier by showing off what we think are the current 3 areas of promotional products that work best for universities to give to students. Whether it be for an introduction day, perhaps promotional material for students that have signed up, or specific to a particular course, below are what we think are the hottest items at the moment. Rather than sticking to traditional and dare, I say “cliched” promotional items, give them something a bit more exciting and edgy.
1) Eco-Friendly Jute Bags: There is a massive push to try and bring down CO2 emissions and a lot of this drive is from younger people and deservedly so. They are the ones who will inherit the planet and they want it to be as healthy as possible. As a university, you can show you care about this by not giving out plastic bags or bags made from polyester, nylon or other man-made fabrics that take up a lot of resources to make and are not easily biodegradable. When you are next handing out a goodies bag for students on an introduction day, give them something that shows you care, plus it's something that they can then reuse over and over, reinforcing your brand. That would be through jute bags. There is a large range from standard tote bags with and without gusset to more fashion styles or a simpler drawstring jute bag. They have a huge branding area, so you can put lots of details about your university on both sides, plus they are very strong and will last for years.
2) Promotional Sunglasses: What could be a more appropriate promotional gift item for Australian conditions than promotional sunglasses. You can get your university logo discreetly printed on one of the arms or perhaps the university logo on one arm and then your website on the other. These are practical gifts that everyone would use. There are so many styles on the market. You could opt for cheaper plastic-framed sunglasses that come in a huge range of colours or if you want to offer more protection pick one of the wraparound glasses that will stop any harmful sun rays from getting in. This would be a unique promotional gift that would be appreciated by any student and give them a talking point when out with friends.
3) Custom USB Flash Drives: These can be used in so many ways. If it is a meet and greet the day, you can have all the information about the University preloaded onto the flash drives, so when prospective students leave the campus, they have everything they need in one spot. This is a much easier way to present all your information instead of a bunch of booklets and brochures that can get lost or are just difficult to find the information they want. The drive can also be made interactive with videos or interviews also preloaded. They are also perfect when there are presentations or seminars. A briefing of the whole event can be loaded onto the drives for participants to take home and mull over later. They are the perfect product to get lots of information about there in a compact form. You can add your university logo on the outside so it is easily recognised. Bought in bulk they are cheap to produce, so why not try them.
