How has on campus events changed with the pandemic?

COVID-19 has affected how everyone, including the college marketing industry, conducts business for now and for the foreseeable future. As a result, some companies have switched to a digital footprint. We have put together guidelines for brand ambassadors and guests to continue face-to-face on campus event marketing safely. In the next paragraph, you will find our guidelines.

  • First, have ambassadors to stay behind their tables, creating a physical barrier that ensures 6 feet of distance
  • Second, limit the number of ambassadors staffed per location to maintain recommended distancing practices
  • Third, ambassadors should wear  face coverings that meet or exceed CDC recommendations
  • Fourth, evaluate and restrict tabling based on each campus location to ensure safe distancing:
    • Determine how long tabling location(s) can remain set-up at key places on campus
    • Do not approach students around campus
    • Over-communicate locations and hours
    • Leverage your ambassadors’ social networks
  • Fifth, provide necessary supplies for the safe handling of giveaways and restocking of tables
    • Hand sanitizer, masks, gloves, disinfecting wipes, etc.
  • Sixth, use digital tools and resources to help tabling at a distance:
    • QR codes to scan
    • SMS Campaigns
    • Geo-targeted ads
  • Seventh, reinforce to ambassadors that we should not be limiting meaningful face-to-face interaction – we are conducting the same dialogue and asking the same questions at a distance
  • Lastly, create an exciting atmosphere with signs, banners, balloons, music, and other fun activities
