Topical: November is Education Month - Branding for Schools & Colleges

Promotional products are renowned for their ability to build brand awareness and recall for businesses and organizations who decide to implement them into their marketing campaign. You may associate them most commonly with tradeshows and events however, they also make fantastic marketing tools for schools and colleges who want to promote their educational services.

Now we all know that schools and colleges aren’t necessarily businesses, however, promotional and custom products can serve numerous benefits for the school, the students, and the parents such as their practicality, large printing areas and capability to build long-lasting relationships.

Here at EverythingBranded, we have a great selection of customizable school and college products that are ideal for making a statement without having to break the bank.

Our top 10 custom stationery products that we recommend for schools and colleges:

1. Custom Pens

Pens are in frequent use at schools and colleges for numerous reasons such as writing down important notes during class and completing homework, making using them as a marketing tool for your school or college a no-brainer. Custom pens are one of the most popular promotional items and for good reason. Not only are they low-cost, but they are also extremely practical and used daily by people across the country, with 79% of people using customized pens they received as a freebie frequently. Deciding to use custom pens in your marketing campaign is a guaranteed way to continuously make impressions and stay in the mind of your chosen recipient for the long term.

2. Custom Pencil Cases

Using promotional pencil cases in any marketing campaign is sure to raise impressions and brand awareness especially if you are a school or college. Not only are pencil cases great for storing all your stationery needs they can offer large printing areas, meaning you have more space to promote your logo and message. Customized pencil cases also pair fantastically with other personalized stationery here at EverythingBranded such as custom pens, rulers and erasers allowing you to keep all your marketing in one small transportable pouch!

3. Custom Erasers

We all tend to make mistakes now and then so why not help others fix them with your own range of personalized erasers that can be branded with your school or college’s logo and message. Branded erasers are the perfect promotional product for schools and colleges, not only are they practical but they are small and compact meaning they can be seen anywhere and easily create impressions and raise visibility for your educational services. One of my personal favorite customizable erasers has to be the Die Cut Star Eraser that offers an ideal printing area alongside a fun novelty shape making it perfect for rewarding students for their outstanding work in class.

4. Custom Rulers

Let’s face it drawing a straight line without the help of a ruler is extremely difficult especially when you are running out of time. So why not help your students out by giving out personalized rulers in your next marketing campaign? Not only are branded rulers cost-effective they come in a whole host of sizes and colors meaning you can find the perfect ruler to represent your school or college without having to spend your whole marketing budget. Alongside these factors, branded rulers are reusable and won’t run out, meaning they have longevity and are less likely to be chucked away and instead passed on to others creating new impressions!

5. Custom Pencil Sharpeners

You may not think it, but customized pencil sharpeners have the capability to be the perfect promotional product for your school or college. Not only are they affordable they are very practical and the perfect tool for giving blunt pencils a whole new lease of life. Custom pencil sharpeners are also one of the best promotional stationery products for schools and colleges as they are constantly being passed around to others in need of sharpening their pencil meaning they can easily make impressions for your school or college without you having to put much thought into it. One of my personal favorite personalized pencil sharpeners that we offer here at EverythingBranded has to be the Pencil Sharpener with Flip Top Box which allows you to keep all your pencil shavings in one place mess free.
