    How does a promotion on campus work? And can I, together with my employees, also actively approach the target group on site? Our FAQs leave no question unanswered. If they do, we are happy to be available for a personal conversation.

    Advertising on campus must not disrupt teaching operations, and content is reviewed in advance. Sensitive categories (e.g., advertising for tobacco products and political parties, or racist and sexual poster motifs) are generally excluded at universities. Permissibility and placement depend on the location and the guidelines.

    At which locations are campus promotions possible?

    Feasibility depends on university regulations and cooperations. For example, at Heinrich‑Heine‑Universität Düsseldorf we are the exclusive cooperation partner for advertising opportunities on campus (including, among other things, promotions). Specific areas are approved on a location-by-location basis.

    Was bedeutet „Promotion am Campus“?

    Unter Promotion am Campus fallen Stand‑ und Laufpromotions, Sampling‑Aktionen sowie persönliche Dialog‑Formate direkt in Hochschulen und Studierendenwerken. Der persönliche Kontakt macht Marken erlebbar und ermöglicht unmittelbare Reaktionen der Zielgruppe – von Produktproben bis Recruiting‑Gesprächen. Campus‑Promotions werden als vielfältiger Zugang zur Zielgruppe beschrieben und zentral organisiert.

    Was ist bei der Logistik zu beachten?

    Benötigt werden Assets wie z. B. Roll‑Ups, Counter, Give‑aways, Proben, ggf. Lager/Transport und Abfall‑/Recycling‑konzepte. Für Indoor‑/Outdoor‑Einsätze empfiehlt sich ein Schlechtwetter‑Plan und ggf. Strom‑/Genehmigungscheck.

    Was steckt hinter den Formaten Standpromotion, Laufpromotion und Sampling?

    Beliebte Formate sind Standpromotion (fixer Infostand mit Produkt‑/Info‑Hub), Laufpromotion (mobile Teams) sowie Sampling/Hand‑zu‑Hand‑Verteilung – je nach Zielsetzung indoor oder outdoor. Die Auswahl richtet sich nach der benötigten Kontaktintensität, Aufenthaltsdauer und Fläche.

    Welche Vorlaufzeit ist sinnvoll?

    Die Vorlaufzeit hängt von Standort, Genehmigungen, Umfang und Personalbedarf ab. Empfehlenswert ist eine frühzeitige Planung rund um Semesterstart, Prüfungsphasen oder Recruiting‑Fenster, damit Flächen, Teams und ggf. begleitende Medien koordiniert werden können.

    Welche Vorteile bietet Promotion an der Hochschule?

    Promotion am Campus ermöglicht zielgruppennahes Marken‑Erlebnis und direkte Response. Organisatorisch profitieren Unternehmen von zentraler Koordination und geringem Administrationsaufwand; die Genehmigung und Steuerung vor Ort übernehmen wir als erfahrener Campus‑Partner.

    Werden geschulte Promoter:innen gestellt?

    Ja. Optional können geschulte Promotion‑Teams bereitgestellt werden (z. B. über die Trendkost Promotionagentur). So lassen sich komplexe Botschaften qualifiziert vermitteln und Aktionen in Qualität sowie Servicegrad skalieren.

    Wie läuft die Genehmigung und Umsetzung ab?

    Die Abstimmung mit Hochschulverwaltung und Studierendenwerk sowie das Genehmigungsverfahren werden von uns als Campus‑Partner übernommen; zusätzlich erfolgt Steuerung und Kontrolle vor Ort. Dadurch lässt sich der gesamte Prozess – von Planung bis Durchführung – aus einer Hand realisieren.
