C<\/span>ontrary to popular opinion, the college experience isn’t one big party starring John Belushi. It’s more like all-night study sessions, a diet of Ramen noodles and mounting debt. After we’re handed our diplomas and unleashed into the world of business-casual attire and 9-to-5 schedules (if we’re lucky), we are left wondering if this education thing was a worthwhile investment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But it’s not all doom and gloom. Eventually, our shining moment happens—whether it is a promotion, a new opportunity or a simple “thank you.” Then we know the sleep deprivation, the crummy food and the student loans were worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember this as you devise thoughtful solutions for campaigns targeting college students. Many promotional items can enhance the college experience. With the examples listed below, clients and end-users alike will rest easier—and that’s more rewarding than any “A.”<\/span><\/p>\n

SCIENCE IS FUN<\/strong>
<\/span>32 degrees Fahrenheit is the freezing point of water at sea level. Additionally, 32 is the number of colors available for the Next Level Tri-Blend Dolman T-shirt<\/span> from Bodek and Rhodes.<\/span> (That may not be funny, but it is informative.) That gives students 32 different ways to look fashionable on campus. For more information, <\/span>visit www.bodekandrhodes.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

FIRST IMPRESSIONS<\/strong>
<\/span>Professors like to see that their students are paying attention. Drummond Printing Inc.’s New Linen Impression Journals<\/span> will help students make a great first impression as they furiously jot down notes and engage in conversation. The American-made journals come in 5×7″ or 7×10″ sizes and hold imprints on every sheet, which also will impress your clients—a win-win situation. For more information, <\/span>visit<\/span> <\/span>www.drum-line.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

EASY ACCESS<\/strong>
<\/span>Caffeine eases the pain caused by late-night study sessions. That is why Berney-Karp’s 14 oz. Bling Tiffany<\/span> travel mug is ideal for those running from the dorm to class then back to the dorm. The 9.5×3.25″ mug features a stainless steel body, a plastic liner and a 1.25×2″ imprint area. The hand-wash only mug is available in five colors. For more information, <\/span>visit www.ceramic-source.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

HIP TO BE SQUARE<\/strong>
<\/span>Add a little color to “being square” with the Square Highlighter<\/span> from Beacon Promotions. <\/span>The USA-made highlighter comes with highlighter colors in yellow, pink, blue and green. It measures 3-3\u20448×3-3\u20448″ and has space for a 2-1\u20442×2-1\u20442″ full-color imprint.
