The Way It Works

As the ownership team for StudentSchedule.com online calendar publication on your campus, we will help your team penetrate the entire collegiate community. Your team will be responsible for all marketing events and promotions on campus throughout a semester or yearlong term. In addition to marketing responsibilities, your team will manage and update local content. This includes school sports schedules, events on campus, and inserting class syllabi. All of this can be done easily online, so no programming is required! Campus teams should consist of at least 2-3 current fulltime students at a college or university, but are not required. Business fraternities and entrepreneurship programs are encouraged to apply for the program as well. Each team member will have different roles. The roles consist of student marketing, local business marketing, and professor marketing.

Student Marketing - StudentSchedule.com will provide you with specific marketing instructions to enable you to successfully acquire student subscribers to your local online calendar publication. Different promotions will include contacting local student organizations, speaking with campus media, taking pictures of students, setting up tables by student unions, posting flyers, and most of all word-of-mouth marketing.

Local Business Marketing - In addition to student marketing, your campus ownership team will have the ability to sell advertising to local businesses on your campus. We will show you how to attract a number of local businesses including bars, restaurants, bookstores, and others to place advertising in unique ways. Local businesses will pay your team to post events like food and bar specials, music events, and more on your campus's StudentSchedule.com calendar. You can also sell banner advertising, direct e-mail sponsorships, and site sponsorships.

Professor Marketing - One of the easiest ways to acquire student subscribers is to have professors post class schedules and syllabi using our Syllabus Wizard. We will show you how to setup meetings with professors and inform them how StudentSchedule.com will help them and their students.
