Is there anybody here that can give me some tips/advice on good companies that with a said budget will market your company to students in Universities ?

Has anybody used some and what experiences did you have with them ? Were they worth while using their services ?

Any advice/tips would be much appreciated.

Hi,
We have a couple of companies which could be just what you are looking for. www.campusgradbags.com and www.campusclothing.com. Gradbags are free goodie bags to graduates which include sponsors in the bag, on the bag and on the website. We have collected over 10,000 personal details in the first year of trading.www.campusclothing.com reaches over 100,000 graduates with merchandise face to face.
Let me know if any of these are of interest and the sort of advertising you are looking for. kindest Regards,
Daniel

Speaking as a student, don't bother with any sort of flyer. We're completely desensitised to them.

- Flyer shoved in face
- Flyer distributor refuses to stop shoving it in your face
- So you take flyer and shove it straight in the bin without even reading it

...or

- Flyer shoved in face
- Walk off without taking flyer
- Flyer distributor gets annoyed and throws the whole lot in the bin and goes home early

The only thing students respond to is free samples, or something useful (USB stick, pen, etc).

Granted it's a more expensive method, but I guarantee the (money spend:business generated) is far better for the free sample/novelty method...
