Services Description The Student Advertising Co. initial product/service offering will be the Student Advertising Co. free student file. The basis of the free student file idea is to distribute free files to students in Newcastle, using the revenue from advertising to cover the cost of the file itself.

The free student file idea works as follows: • Contact businesses who are targeting students in the Newcastle area with their advertising • Sell them advertising space on the file • The revenue gained from selling the advertising space is used to buy the files and print the advertisements on the file itself • Distribute the files to students in Newcastle for free The Student Advertising Co. believes that this initial product/service will help it to achieve the long term mission of creating a network of student advertising, using an innovative medium which hasn’t been utilised before.

Key Selling Points The free student file has some key advantages for businesses who are targeting students, students who want to use student offers from businesses and the Student Advertising Co. itself:

Businesses • The student file is a relatively cost effective way to reach students • Students will have maximum exposure to the advertisements as they will be using the file for many hours per week • The student will most likely use the file for duration of a semester (3 months)or more so many other students who do not actually have a file will also see the advertisements contained in the file • The file can be thought of as a walking billboard as students often carry their files around so it can be exposed to a variety of people • The business will not have to invest any other resources into the advertisements, such as distribution, as the student advertising company will be doing everything for them • Businesses can increase the value of their brand due to the long term exposure students will have to the message which is being communicated • Businesses can also look to be more environmentally friendly using the files, as opposed to using flyers which are often thrown away

Students

• Students can lower the ever increasing cost of student living by using these free files, rather than buying new ones • Students can take advantage of the offers contained in the advertisements which could also lower their costs and possibly improve their standard of living

The Student Advertising Co.

• The student files will allow the company to initiate its first steps into achieving its long term aim of creating a network of student advertising • The student file fits with the mission of the company to find new and innovative ways to reach students, lower the cost of student living and increase the efficiency of student based advertising • The student files is the first step in creating a strong brand which will be valuable to both businesses and students alike

Future Services

The use of files as an advertising medium is just the beginning of the vision of the Student Advertising Co. The revenues gained from the student files will be reinvested into the business to expand the scope of advertising activities.

The Student Advertising Co will always look for new and innovative ways to connelct students to student deals in their region.
