The Best Promotional Merchandise Products for Students

Students love receiving free gifts! What’s more, they love it when these gifts are actually useful and unique to them. Do your marketing right by making the products funny, memorable and useful for students and watch your brand awareness grow. If you're looking for some branded student merchandise then you've come to the right place. Here are a few ideas for you to consider before the students return to University. 

Kitchen Items

Hear us out here, students will always forget some kitchen utensils, so here your brand would not only be useful but also save the students money. Consider, for instance, a branded travel flask, tea towel or mug; students often take coffee to University with them for that caffeine boost to recover from the night before, and they always have people over to their accommodation which leads to exposure for your brand.

Clothing

Students love comfy clothes to wear to the library or hang around home in. Items of clothing really are the perfect product to market to students because you’ll be able to advertise your business in lectures, campus cafes, and other places your brand wouldn’t otherwise reach.

Feniks 5 Panel Cotton Cap

This branded cap is available in more than 10 colours!

Stationery

An old one but a good one, for a simple reason. Students are studying, and people who are studying need stationery - you can never have too many pens! If you want to go outside the box, consider highlighters, stationery boxes or erasers!
