Creating SWAG For Students Return to School

By Dean Schwartz (SWAG Master): The period before the school year begins is marked by a rush of purchases as students and parents prepare for the upcoming academic year. It’s a prime time for businesses to tap into this frenzy and offer promotional products that cater to the specific needs of students.

This strategy not only helps in boosting brand visibility but also fosters a positive image among students, parents, and educators.

Brands that invest in the educational journey of students also create emotional connections. This bond extends beyond products and can lead to long-term brand advocacy. Plus, when another student enjoys your SWAG they’re likely to tell at least one of their peers, which can result in effective word-of-mouth marketing.
