You do not need to use any methods to attract studente.Važno is above all to be honest, that they do not instills false hope, because then you will very quickly get out of this deal. So when you place an ad, please be honest and fair, they do not promise towers and cities. It is important that you seriously and later make them available. I hope I have helped.

To attract collage students you must empathise how easy it is to earn money with sfi. Also make sfi more attractive to sfi by showing a friendly side but also intelligent . Set up a meeting at their union include food and drink if you can afford it. Collage students love anything that includes food and drink. Just make it fun

I think SFI has enough attractions for young people still in college.

College students are very idealistic, ambitious, and big dreamers, but may not have enough funds to spend on other necessities especially if they're still being supported by their parents. But some may already be working part time to support themselves.

Eager Zebra games with Time Machine and Pick the Price, may appeal to their sense

You can use either method you choose to attract college students to SFI. First of all, you want to get clearance to post on the school bulletin board. Most college campuses have one but you do need to get permission to post things there. Check with the director of student services, or campus security.

Once you have clearance, then I would talk with the dean of the marketing department to see if I could do a presentation for the class. You'd be surprise how easy this can be arranged

Great question!

A few methods to try:

1. Request permission to use flyers around campus. I would put flyers anywhere there is a bulletin board; the cafeteria, hallways, (business or other)classrooms, even handing them out to students passing by. Also, when there is a Career Fair, request permission to setup a booth and talk to interested students right then.

2. Go around to local "hangouts" and distribute flyers. For example, college students like to study,

There are a number of ways to advertise to attract college students to SFI.

Gift cards are an excellent way to attract college students. Hand them out and tell them to go and bid on items at the auctions or play Eager Zebra Games.

Put up ads on bulletin boards in student centers or in cafes (just make sure you get permission from authorities). Hand out flyers in places where students meet. Tell them about a really wonderful business where they can earn some extra income

You attract students the same way you would attract any other persons. There are 2 ways of getting the attention of someone to join SFI: Off-line and On-line. Just keep in mind which demographic group you’re trying to attract and adjust accordingly.

Off-line Methods
- Placing ads (Free or paid for) in printed media like newspapers or magazines (According to me this is not the best way to attract students as I don’t think many read newspapers especially, but there will always

There are millions and millions college students all over the world - that group spend more time together than any other social or professional group. To put that further into perspective, that generation is now estimated to be the largest consumer (and not only) group in history.

Many marketing departments seem to lack a marketing plan for continually marketing to the young and restless. Moreover, marketers speak the same language to the 60-year-old customer from Japan and the 21-year-old

There have been many great answers already, but I would focus on three keys areas for students, that it's FREE, FLEXIBLE and for the FUTURE.

FREE - most students don't have much spare money, if any, or at least don't want to be running up more debts.
FLEXIBLE - students have erratic patterns of free time, sometimes having plenty of free time and at other times having none at all!
FUTURE - what an opportunity SFI is for students to start building a business that can be a solid
