Merchandise

Student group clothing (e.g. hoodies, t-shirts) not only makes your committee and members feel part of something but it spreads the name of your group and raises awareness on campus. But merch doesn’t have to stop there - consider badges, mugs, pencils, water bottles, keyrings, and think about whether there’s an item directly relevant to your group that you could use. Bring physical items to socials, events, and sign-up opportunities like Freshers’ Fair, and consider handing bits out for free if your funds will allow.

Remember, for your merchandise to be really effective, you’ll need good branding. A coordinating colour scheme and a clear logo which advertises your group’s purpose and aims will go a long way.
