Most of the products that you purchase regularly have something in common. Whether it is your favorite cereal, phone, computer, car, soda, we love brands.

Brand loyalty is one of the most valuable assets a business can have. When consumers are loyal to your brand they will continue to purchase your products even if you have little hiccups. So what does this have to do with students? Most students are young! By building a brand relationship with a younger person you build a lifetime customer.

So why isn’t there more effort made to acquire student customers? It definitely isn’t the fact that there are over 21 million college students in the United States alone. We believe that it is hard to reach them and they are typically financially strained.

Most students struggle financially. For example a common meal for an average student consists of a 35 cent Ramen noodle dinner with a $1.50 bottle of soda. So how can we turn financially struggling students into a valuble customer? Discounts. When students believe that they are getting a deal on something, they are more willing to purchase that item. No student wants to spend full price on anything, they already believe they are being ripped off with tuition. Whether it be textbooks, sushi, coffee, laundry or beer; all discounts encourage students to purchase more things.

This may seem to be counterintuitive but the most beneficial aspect of this practice is in the long-term. When you bring in students to consume your products and services early on, they will become loyal customers when it counts, when they are employed and making money.

One of the most difficult aspects of this practice is actually getting your discounts to students. Many people will spend money for ads on google and facebook, but these will be drowned out in all of the other ads. Deenzlist was created in the hopes of bringing together businesses and students. We provide an outlet for all businesses online or not to gain access to every student across the nation. Its quick, easy, simple and cheap.
