I’m trying to sell a vacation tour, and if I’m able to sell 8 I get to go for free. It’s for college students, and I’d like to promote one package around my hometown and another at my school, which is far away. I won’t have any trouble promoting the one at school, but what are good ways to get students in my hometown involved? Keep in mind that I want to promote this over the summer, but there are about five different colleges in my area and a lot of students stay local.
I was thinking of setting up a booth in the mall, putting fliers around the different campuses for people taking summer classes, and advertising in the newspaper to tell people when the meeting will be. What are some other good ways to advertise it?
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE RESPONDING. Sorry, it’s just that some of the people who answered this are telling me how to market at my own school, which is what I already know how to do.

See if your college has any student listservs and send out an email.
setting up mall and puuting fliers would help you to create and exitment within the school but it would not gurantee a sale… if you need to make an effective sale the best way is to create to network of ppl and spread the word abt this vacation and the exiting things happening around the area on those days. they say word of mouth marketing and the referel marketing is the most effective tool in the marketing field. so follow this rule. create exitment among the students, may be offer them a discount if they register in gropus. may be if you buy 3 or 4 at once offer a small promotion… think abt it..
