Simmons University Pairs Products with Admitted Student Collateral in One Kit

Simmons University was seeking a fun and engaging way to help their admitted students celebrate their acceptance while also providing them with vital information they would need in order to successfully complete the enrollment process. The Magellan Promotions team collaborated with Simmons to create an admitted student kit that made a strong first impression, had incorporated long-lasting and appreciated swag while at the same time being informative. This solution only helped create excitement as admitted students received the mailer, and increased the likelihood that the essential enrollment information would be reviewed and retained.

Packaged in a branded bubble mailer with celebratory messaging, the kit included an admitted student guide, branded knit beanie, sticker sheet, folded poster, and card promoting admitted student events. Beanies are a popular unisex apparel option that students would use in Boston’s fall and winter seasons. The sticker sheet’s prominent call-to-action was focused on getting students to deposit, and providing engaging stickers they could display to celebrate their acceptance and show off their school pride.

To help streamline and make the process easy for Simmons, our team also coordinated the printing of the brochure, poster, and card, and handled all of the kitting. Each kit was pre-assembled and sent to the school so that the admissions team would be able to include each student’s admissions letter and mail them from the university as needed.

NACAC College Fair Branded Merch

Rethinking College Fair Engagement and Display Strategies

For years, branded merch has been sidelined at NACAC sponsored college fairs as it was not allowed. One of the reasons I heard was that the organizers did not want attendees to be there to collect merch and not have as much interest in learning about colleges. So it was easier to just remove merch from the shows.  However, this year NACAC updated their exhibitor guidelines and now certain types of merch are approved. These items include pens, lanyards, keychains, small magnets, pennants and buttons. We are pleased that NACAC now recognizes the clear benefits of branded merch for collegiate
