Grocery
stores, banks, restaurants, etc., all have messages that are beneficial
for students. Grocery stores can promote health food choices in an
effort to drive grocery spending into their stores. Banks can teach
financial responsibility while earning future loyalty. Local restaurants
can promote family nights or provide teachers with a way to reward
students for various achievements.
Cool
Idea: A credit union wanted to target college students and offer them
an incentive to open a new account. They chose a stock design,
"Laundry Method for College Students" that gave basic tips and
instructions for washing clothes, along with their logo. It was given
out at the time of opening a new account. Word spread on campus and
there was a 20% increase of new accounts.

Cool
Idea: An organization promoting "Don't Text and Drive" handed out bags
to graduates. The branded bags were labeled "this bag will save your
life" and included a t-shirt with a QR code that linked to a
video/website and a sharpie keychain to sign an attached pledge not to
text and drive.
