Benson works with student housing communities across the country serving hundreds of colleges and universities from lease-ups, to acquisitions and competitive markets. Each year, we seek out the top product trends in student promo. We have researched the hottest promotional items and trends in 2022 so that you don’t have to!
When it comes to student housing, we know students love collegiate pride and they love SWAG! A lot has changed over the years when it comes to the desires of what promo products college students want and will use. Gone are the days of cheap throw away items they won’t be caught using! Now, students are driven by trends, sustainability, retail-quality, and usefulness.
This year will be a focus of getting back to street teams, outreach, and good old fashion guerilla marketing on campus. Brand stimulating is all the rage with your student residents, prospects, and employees.
Our research is in for the products students are really wanting in 2022! These are not only the most Insta-worthy promo items, but these will surely create a buzz about how on-trend your community is while bringing students together!
