What types of promotional products work for engaging students?

High school students interested in attending college have countless options to choose from, so it’s important to make your university stand out from the competition. One of the most effective ways to do this is to give away promotional items to students at a college fair. Here are six promotional products that will engage students:

1. Stress balls
Whether they major in accounting or biology, college students are bound to experience stress at some point. Studying for exams and completing projects while working and maintaining a social life can put a lot of pressure on undergraduates. Giving away stress balls is a fun, practical way to target prospective students . According to HealthGuidance.org, squeezing a stress ball can help relieve tension and make people  feel like they are doing something constructive.

“Stress balls can help college students ease their anxiety.”

2. Flashlight keychains
College students often study in the library until it’s dark and may need a source of light when they walk to their cars. Traditional flashlights are too bulky to carry around, so consider handing out LED keychains. These promotional items provide several benefits including durability, portability and replaceable batteries, according to eBay.

3. Smart wallets 
According to a recent Nielsen study, 79 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 24 own smartphones. Since students likely carry these mobile devices everywhere, they could make great use of protective phone cases. These cases are slim and protect phones from liquid damage , scratches or excessive exposure to the sun.

4. Earbuds
What student couldn’t use another pair of earbuds? Many undergraduates listen to music on their way to class, so having an extra pair of earbuds is handy. Students can also put on the headphones when they need to block out noise as they study.

5. Laundry bags
College students need to keep their dirty clothes organized somehow, so why not give away laundry bags? These bags are practical items that will make the laundry process much simpler for students.

6. Cable organizers
Cable organizers can be very handy for students who use multiple electronic devices. They will keep the cables from these devices together, helping people maintain clean and organized desks.
