Published on
17th June 2024
Navigating the student market requires more than hitting the obvious milestones like freshers' week, graduation, or varsity events. While these are fantastic opportunities, they also attract fierce competition from numerous brands competing for attention.
At GottaBe! Marketing, we believe in uncovering the full spectrum of engagement possibilities throughout the academic year.
Student Life: Beyond the 9-5
Unlike the traditional 9-to-5 routine, students operate on a schedule that's fluid and diverse. Their activities span from early-morning lectures to late-night study sessions and social gatherings.
This flexibility means marketing efforts must be equally adaptable and strategically timed to catch them in their varied routines.
On-Campus Presence: Where Students Thrive
Recent trends show students spending an average of three additional hours on campus each week. This extended presence creates numerous touchpoints for brands to engage directly and meaningfully.
Whether it's through campus events, clubs, societies, or simply hanging out in communal spaces, every moment presents an opportunity to connect.
