Campus newspapers continue to reach the youth market!

Posted by Laura McPeck, Director, Business Development

With campus recruiting season in full swing, there are so many ways to reach students. Through word of mouth, campus events, posters, flyers and also through….campus newspapers. According to the leading youth marketing company, Alloy Media + Marketing’s 2008 College Explorer Study, “92 % of college students with a daily newspaper have read it in the past 30 days”. These are extremely strong numbers.

According to a recent article by Tim Johnson, from the Burlington Free Press, “Declining readership of newsprint editions, which afflicts metro dailies around the country, does not seem to be a problem at local campuses. College students — the heart of the young demographic that regular newspapers worry about losing — seem to be avid readers of their campus papers. Never mind online editions, which are popular among parents and alumni. The students themselves are still reading the good old hard copies.”

Advertising ... high in the sky!

Posted by Tara Repucci, VP Northeastern Region

Okay, next time you fly, check out the ads ... on seat trays, air sickness bags, beverage cups and carts, napkins, seatback inserts and video screens.

According to a study released last month, the medium is quite effective. In fact, approximately 79 percent of consumers recalled tray table ads on an unaided basis. Just wait. In the near future, you'll be able to target airline passengers with your employment offer via WiFi online ads.

The challenge, of course, is fitting your unique message with the right venue and the right airline and the right passengers; but that's where NAS comes in.
