Do you want new students and their parents to think about your product or service before they arrive at Oxford Brookes?

Do you have a product or service which a student’s parents might want to buy for their child?

At the end of August, three weeks before term starts, we send useful information to our 5,500 new students.

Place your leaflet, flyer or letter in this mailer and be sure that your communication will reach our students at a time when they are planning for their student life and the year ahead.

FRESHERS

PRE-ARRIVALS MAILER

Living away from home, students are deciding which brands to buy, use and trust for the first time. That’s why attracting them to your product or service has huge potential for generating long-term brand loyalty. It’s also why they’re the most profitable group in the 18 to 24 age bracket.

Our range of advertising options gives you the opportunity to reach our students directly, in a format that suits you.

COST

£795

Inserts need to be delivered to us preferably by the end of July.

Please see 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 of our Terms and Conditions (at the back of this pack) for our delivery address and specifications about size and weight.

FRESHERS WELCOME BOX

Do you want your marketing literature to be amongst the first information a new student sees?

Do you want your branded item to be one of the first things a new student uses (and continues to use throughout the academic year)?

How about being the first takeaway menu on a new student’s kitchen notice board or having your logo and contact details on a student’s mug or tea-towel?

This year Brookes Union is producing 4,000 (or more) welcome boxes for the new intake of students. These boxes will contain essential items – tea, coffee, a mug and a tea-towel - which can be used immediately by the students to help them settle in. Also included, will be our Welcome to Oxford Guide. This A5 booklet will contain friendly useful information about the Students’ Union, the University and Oxford itself. Each box will be left on a new student’s bed, ready for them to open once they arrive.

There are three main Welcome Box options:

1. A full colour advert or “feature page” in the Welcome to Oxford Guide. This is an excellent opportunity for your business/organisation to be featured in a publication that remains with students as a point of reference throughout their first year.

2. An insert into the Welcome Box. Menus, Special Offers, Vouchers, a branded item of use** (excluding tea, coffee, a mug and a tea towel).

3. Sponsorship of the mug and the tea-towel to be co-branded with Brookes Union. Price TBC. (Please contact us for details).

4. Sponsorship of the Box. Place your logo or advert on the inside of the Box lid. Maximum size to be 14cm wide by 8cm high.

**Branded item to be agreed with Brookes Union prior to booking.

Do you want to market your products and services to our student body at the earliest opportunity?

Do you want to influence student purchasing habits at the very outset of their university life?

Held over 2 days, our Freshers Fair comprises more than 100 stalls and is attended by around 8,000 students. With new students making lifestyle and brand choices that will remain with them throughout their time at Oxford Brookes and later into adult life, this is a crucial time to raise awareness of your company.

Book a stall to encourage lasting brand loyalty and get a head start on your competitors.

Oxford Brookes has between 500 and 1000 new students who start at the beginning of Semester 2. We will be welcoming them and presenting them each with a goody bag. Why not insert a branded highlighter, mug, tea towel or pen into our goody bags so that they can be reminded of your product or service throughout the rest of their time at Brookes...

We will be giving away 4,500 of our own branded cotton shopper bags at the Fair. If you can’t attend the Fair, you can have an item inserted into our bags. Why not encourage students to use your service by inserting a “money off” or “free stuff” voucher, or keep students aware of your brand regularly by inserting an item of use like a branded reusable water bottle, a branded pen, a branded travel mug or some branded playing cards?
