Most local businesses waste thousands of dollars trying to reach college students through social media ads.
The reality is that Gen Z has trained themselves to tune out anything that looks like marketing. Your flyers end up in the recycling bin. Your YouTube pre-rolls get skipped the second the countdown ends. Your Instagram ads are swiped past before the image even fully registers.
It is incredibly frustrating to know you have a great product or service, but you just can't get the attention of the 33,000+ students living right down the street at UW-Milwaukee and UW-Whitewater.
We built Dorm Advertising to solve this exact problem.
Instead of fighting for attention on a crowded feed, we place your ads on the elevator doors inside their dorm buildings. It is the one place they cannot scroll past. Every time they leave for class, head to the dining hall, or come back from a night out, your brand is right there.
It provides 24/7 visibility with long dwell times. They actually read the ad because there is nothing else to look at while waiting for the doors to open.
If you are tired of your digital ads getting ignored by students, let's talk. Visit DormAdvertising.com to see our available dorm placements.
