TURN WASH U STUDENTS INTO YOUR FUTURE TENANTS...
APARTMENT GUIDE The Student Life newspaper at Washington University has begun planning for the 2007 Apartment Guide that will be provided to Wash U students. Washington University holds a housing lottery every year in mid-February for on-campus housing. As a result, a limited number of students will receive their choice of on-campus housing and others will begin to look off-campus. The guide will act as a resource for the many students looking for an off-campus solution to the housing shortage on campus. Distribution: This guide will appear in the 7,000 copies of Student Life printed that day and distributed all over campus as well as select areas that students frequent off-campus. The guide publishes in mid-February in the first issue following the housing lottery. Outreach: 95% of Washington University students read Student Life. This gives you the oppourtunity to reach many interested students looking for off-campus housing possibilities with an ad promoting your rental property and amenities. You will also receive a free classified that will run for two weeks in both the print and on-line editions of Student Life. Rates and Mechanics Ad Size

We're inviting you to be a part of this special issue in a fun and unique way: by placing a personal greeting to your graduate along with photo(s) of them.

The Basics
Whether you're a seasoned advertiser or new to reaching the WU community, this FAQ should answer some the most common questions you have about advertising with Student Life.
Q: Do you offer any discounts?
A: Yes we do! We offer significant incentives to advertisers who choose to increase advertising frequency or volume over the course of a year. By taking advantage of frequency or bulk discounts, you can save between 10 and 50% on your advertising investment. Doing so will give you the frequent exposure you need while saving serious cash. One of our most popular frequency plans, Business ADvantage, allows you to save 50% on ads that are business card-sized or larger. Ask for more details today!
Q: What should I expect from advertising in Student Life?
A: Just as you wouldn't go to a weight loss clinic and expect to lose 25 pounds after two visits, you shouldn't expect a single ad to perform similar overnight miracles. It takes time to develop awareness for your business. We suggest taking advantage of frequency and bulk discounts to lower your cost and increase your exposure.
Q: I'd like to put a coupon in my ad. Do WU students use coupons?
A: College students, as a rule, are not coupon clippers. (Just think - did YOU clip coupons when you were 20 years old)? Washington University students are also a very affluent group and saving money isn't necessarily at the forefront of their thinking. If you do choose to use a coupon, however, keep in mind that increasing the value of the offer will elicit a better response. A coupon for 25¢ off of a $10 item probably won't motivate students to go find the scissors. But a coupon for a free car certainly would.
Q: I can't afford large ads; won't a small ad get lost?
A: It's true that there are many ads in the newspaper, but you do not have to run a large ad to get your message out. As we said above, if you placed a tiny ad offering a free car, you would probably get a great deal of traffic and calls. Although your ad may be small, if it makes a great offer, it will generate traffic. Remember, in the long run, placing smaller ads more frequently will work better.
Q: How much should I spend on advertising?
A: It depends on many factors, but according to many national studies, a good rule of thumb is allocating between 3 and 7% of your sales to advertising and promotion.
Q: Can you help me design an ad?
A: Yes! Our in-house graphics department can help you design an eye-catching ad that will get across your message in a creative manner. Remember, white space is key! The goal of your ad is to catch students' attention, not to convey the minutia of an offer or service.

According to a 2002 market research study, 95% of students read Student Life regularly. (Survey conducted by Pulse Media Research, Portland, OR)
Why Frequency?
Studies show again and again that frequency of advertising is much more important than ad size. At Student Life, we counsel our clients to advertise as frequently as possible to maximize their results and investment. Here's why: • A single ad more than likely will not work.
We would rather you keep your hard-earned dollars than to spend them on a method we know will not produce results. To understand why advertising once or twice won't work, think about how you interact with a newspaper, whether it's the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, New York Times or even Student Life: • Do you read the newspaper each and every day? • Do you read every article and ad in the newspaper? • Of the ads that you do notice, are you in the market for every product or service you see? • Lastly, do you act on every ad that interests you at that very moment (whether it's visiting a business, making a phone call or checking out a website)? Our readers are no different than you. While we have very high readership, not every student reads every edition of Student Life and not every student needs a product or service that's advertised on any given day. That's why it's important for your business to advertise as frequently as possible; those who do find the most success in reaching students and growing their business. And, like weight loss, advertising gets the best results over time.
• Frequency offers you the best advertising rates.
We offer significant incentives for increasing frequency or advertising volume over the course of a year. Offering these discounts shows that we recognize and value the need for frequent advertising and encourage you to use it. By taking advantage of frequency or bulk discounts, you can save between 10 and 50% on your advertising investment. You'll get the frequent exposure you need while saving serious cash.
• Frequent advertising helps you beat your competition.
If you aren't advertising as much as your competition, who is more likely to reach the student that's ready to shop?
• Frequency helps your advertising cut through the clutter.
Muhammed Ali didn't become the heavyweight champion of the world by punching 20 people 1 time each. He became the champ by punching 1 guy 20 times. By applying frequency to the poor opponent's head, he was able to bring his message home. Frequent advertising works the same way. Let us show you how - call us today!

STUDENT LIFE THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER OF WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS
August 21, 2006
Dear Parent: Are you missing your son or daughter? Already feeling out of touch with what’s going on at Wash U? Don’t worry…we have the solutions. Student Life, Washington University’s award-winning, student-run newspaper, will be publishing a special feature dedicated to the Class of 2010. On Wednesday, September 27, you’ll have the opportunity to send a “Note from Home” to your student, just as they finish their first month of classes. We’re inviting you to be a part of this special feature in a fun and unique way: by placing a personal greeting to your student! (See the sample ad shown on the enclosed flyer). This is a great chance to tell them how proud you are, how much you miss them, or that you’re thinking of them. The cost for this “Note from Home” is just $45. To be part of this special feature, you have to act quickly. We’re holding a spot for every freshman right now, but we must receive an order by September 18 to lock in your student’s spot. The enclosed order form (with sample ad on the back) details how to get your student included in what will become a fond part of their history at WU. We urge you to join hundreds of other parents who have sent personal messages to their students in the pages of Student Life! And, for those of you who want to keep up with what’s going on at WU on a regular basis, see the back of this letter for information on a special subscription offer for parents. Subscribing to Student Life is an excellent way to keep up-to-date on the happenings at Washington University. Completely run by students, Student Life covers major issues on & off campus. Regular stories include stories on financial aid, tuition costs, curriculum changes and the effectiveness of student government. Your son or daughter may even make it into the pages of the paper! The enclosed flyer details how easy it is to set up a mail subscription to Student Life. Hundreds of others have taken advantage of this special offer…we hope you will too! Congratulations again on your student’s enrollment at WU!
Sincerely,
Sara Judd Advertising Manager

Since 1878, Student Life has been the official student newspaper at Washington University. Operated by students and free from university control, Student Life monitors the pulse of the university and its surrounding community. Three times a week, 82 times a year, Student Life is distributed on campus free of charge and publishes news, sports, arts, opinions, entertainment and advertising that reflect the interests of Washington University students. Student Life takes great pride in its vigorous and reasoned editorial voice --a voice heard regularly by nearly every student and faculty member at Washington University. We believe it is our duty to focus on the university’s environment--its strengths and weaknesses--to make Washington University a better place. Student Life covers major issues on and off campus. Regular coverage includes stories on financial aid, tuition costs, curriculum changes, campus construction, campus safety, tenure decisions, minority issues and the effectiveness of student government. Student Life also highlights the opinions of Washington University’s distinguished faculty and staff as well as providing information on their latest research and publications. And if you’re interested in stimulating interviews with campus speakers like Kurt Vonnegut, Greg Louganis or Spike Lee, Student Life brings them to your doorstep. Student Life is more than a news source, it’s provocative and entertaining. For the past 125 years we have been committed to a tradition of excellence, and this commitment lives on. Be a part of our commitment and follow your son or daughter’s college life. Who knows, they may even make it into the pages Student Life!
