Why your customers need to be jumping on Fresher’s Week

Fresher’s Week isn’t just for the new students celebrating their new beginnings at university, it’s also for the businesses who are looking to get their brand in front of a young audience. This is the perfect target marketing opportunity for your customers, so get planning and get stocking up!

But what merchandise should you be choosing for Fresher’s Week exactly? Don’t panic. We’ve got a list of items that we think will go down a treat.

A sweet welcome

Want something simple, but so irresistible? One word, sweets. How many times have you opted for branded sweets at an event? Well university students will too which is what makes them so perfect for welcome packs. And they don’t just taste great, they’re fantastic for breaking the ice and getting conversations started. Imagine your customers’ logos on a pack of colourful sweets – it’s a small touch that makes a big impact.

We’ve got a variety of sweets for you to order; from sweets in a heart tin to lollipops, choose the ones you think your customers will love.

Highlighter of the week

If there’s one thing that’s considered an essential when it comes to studying as a uni student, it’s having a highlighter with you. From highlighting notes written down during a lecture or straight from the textbook, you can guarantee that your highlighters will be used. So why not make sure these uni students are reminded of your customers’ branding each time they use it?

And if you’re looking for a highlighter that’s got a bit of quirkiness to it, we have lots to choose from.

Another customer in the bag

If your customers are looking to bring in their own customers through promotional merchandise at Fresher’s Week, bags are the way to go. Tote bags and drawstring bags are the unsung heroes of university life. They’re perfect for lugging around textbooks, laptops, lunch, and gym gear. But for your customers, they’re the walking billboards for their brands.

Whether you’re looking for a backpack, drawstring, or tote, we have plenty to choose from, so get stuck in with your search – there’s something for everyone.

Refreshing brands with refreshments

Water bottles and travel mugs are just part of people’s everyday lives now, especially university students who are always on the go. Branded drinkware is one category that’s sure to be appreciated by students with a high chance of being used.

If you want a sleek bottle for your customers’ logos, then look no further than our website!

Pop bottles, not marketing opportunities

Let’s talk bottle openers for a minute. They might be small, but they’re a big deal when it comes to social events – which is what Fresher’s Week is about. Having a branded bottle opener is a nifty little tool that students will be grateful for at every party. It’s one item that’s always handy to have around, especially for your customers.

The studious type

Think of pens and notebooks as the bread and butter of everyday student-life. High-quality, writing tools are something almost every student will need. After all, who can have too many notebooks? By stocking up on these, you are literally putting your customers’ brands in the hands of students.

Keep the connection alive

‘You got a charger?’ Has become the new, ‘You got the time?’ And with our USB and Power Chargers, students will be able to say, ‘yes, yes I do.’

These are the new essential items for students as they’re always on the go, and now they can have something easier to charge their phones instead of dragging their charger around, aimlessly searching for a plug socket. Branded chargers and USB drives are the practical gift to gift.

It’s all fun and games

Who said promotional merchandise couldn’t be fun? With new students meeting new people, an ice breaker would probably be greatly appreciated. Having branded items such as playing cards are a great way to add some down time to the mix. A deck of cards with a custom design can offer great entertainment as well as keep your customers’ brands at the front of mind.

House of cards

Another item to be of great use to a new student at university is a card holder. With things like student passes, bus passes, and bank cards being a key essential to their day, your customers can help keep them organised by providing them with one. A sleek, branded card holder will be a constant reminder of the business who provided it, every time.

Cooking up a brand strategy that works

Many students will be leaving home for the first time, which means they will probably be in need of some basic cooking essentials. Think Tupperware and chopping boards. These kitchen items are invaluable; they not only serve a functional purpose but also create a positive association with your customers’ brands.

Let’s get started

Fresher’s Week is all about visibility and interaction. By investing in high-quality merchandise, your customers are ensuring that their brand is seen and appreciated daily.

Get ahead of the game and equip your customers with the essentials. Let’s make this week one for your customers’ target audience to remember.
