The college bookstore is a goldmine for marketers. College students wait until the last minute to buy their books and are often forced to wait in long lines, perfect places for advertisements, take away promotions, or bookstore bag giveaways. College students also rely on the bookstore for more conventional purchases throughout the year like paper, pens, and even toiletries. By utilizing a marketing plan that successfully targets college bookstores, marketers can gain a pivotal foothold on the college demographic.

College students attribute innovative products and services to the companies and organizations that produce them, creating a dynamic between the student and the advertiser. By connecting with college students on this intimate level you can gain not only their loyalty during their college years, but also afterwards, when these young consumers will begin making their own first large purchases. By fostering their interests, a strategic marketing plan can gain their attention- and keep it.
