Freshers' Fair Freebies With Your Logo: Order Now

The allure of freshers' freebies are arguably the biggest pull for students to attend the events held on their campus at the start of a new academic year, with the irresistible appeal of "free stuff" proving too good to ignore. In fact, research conducted by BAM found that 67% of students attend freshers’ fairs purely in the pursuit of giveaways!

While they might not match up for every business, a university’s freshers’ fair is the ideal opportunity to get your logo in front of a huge audience of young people every autumn. There are various reasons for this: for one thing, a freshers’ fair can serve as a fantastic chance to introduce new-to-town students to your company, whether you're a wellbeing, hospitality or lifestyle brand.

For another, it’s a great way to create positive brand associations in the minds of students for your business; with money tight, essentials such as branded notepads, promotional mugs and even stylish details such as personalised sunglasses can really create positive connotations of your brand in the minds of students. And let’s be honest: freebies are always an exciting prospect!

Educate Students About Your Business With Branded Giveaways

Freshers’ fairs are arguably the perfect opportunity to get your business straight into the hands of an incredibly active consumer audience. Whether you’re a smaller local company or a nationwide brand, there’s benefit to be reaped from having promotional giveaway items ready to hand-out to students who approach your stand at the event.

Total Merchandise is delighted to offer a wide range of promotional products that make ideal gifts for freshers to take back to their halls. From these A5 branded notebooks (available at budget prices but with a soft-touch cover that screams luxe!) to our best-selling Super Hit Ballpens and Low Cost Stress Balls, we have brilliant promotional items that will guarantee students remember your business for all the right reasons.

Put Your Brand At The Heart Of The Student Experience

Our branded coffee cups are ideal for ensuring your logo gets clocked on the daily by handing out a reusable eco-friendly travel mug.

Our Americano Coffee Mugs, for example, are perfect for printing with your logo and are available in a broad range of colours, meaning there’s a design to suit every branding identity. With its reusable properties, this best-selling promotional coffee cup makes a fantastic eco-friendly giveaway and also means your business will help fuel many an early start for lectures!

For another freshers’ fair freebie that can be used on the daily by students, look no further than our best selling Printed Cotton Tote Bags. Available in up-to full colour, these branded totes are made from lightweight natural cotton and are perfect for helping students carry lighter items; for a sturdier alternative, consider our Coloured Cotton Tote Bag instead, which is available in a whole rainbow of colours and will keep your branding visible at all times.
