Printing Services for Colleges & Universities

Picture
The education landscape covers a lot of ground - colleges, universities, private schools, training schools, adult education programs and more.

And one way or another, they are all competing for the attention (and tuition money) of prospective students and their families.

So how do you reach these future students?

In today’s digital world, we all know it is part website, part online advertising and part email.  
​
But what about print marketing?

What have you done to reach your market with a piece of print communications – a brochure, a flyer, a direct mail piece, an information packet, an open house handout?

Print communications is still a power marketing tool – largely because print is tangible.  You can hold it in your hands.  It sticks around for a while so it has a longer shelf life than online communications.  It doesn’t disappear with the click of a delete button. 

If you’re responsible for marketing or communications with a college, university or any educational institution, Starburst offers a potential partnership for a wide range of print marketing services.  We provide
  • traditional offset printing for larger print runs of brochures, sales sheets, direct mail, etc.
  • the latest in digital printing for shorter print runs or printing that requires more personalization. 
  • specialty printing such as large formats, banners, packaging, displays and holographic printing
  • print on demand (POD) to help you manage your print inventory
  • promotional item printing for trade shows, events, handouts

Print Marketing Examples for Colleges & Universities

In today’s online world, it’s easy to forget the power of print communications. Unlike online, print communications has a tangible impact because people – your prospective students – can actually hold your message in their hands. Here are just some of the ways you can use our printing services to communicate with students, prospective students and their families.

Student Recruitment Package

This is for your serious candidates.  It’s an elegant presentation package with multiple inserts to provide a complete overview of your school. campus and programs. 

Curriculum/Course Flyers

If your school offers multiple programs of study, you may need separate brochures for each program – providing detail on curriculum or classes.

School  & Program Brochures

When you want a single brochure that says it all, a professionally designed and printed brochure or booklet does the trick.

Direct Mail Outreach

For both current students and prospective students, direct mail outreach works very effectively for communications, recruitment and fundraising.

Alumni Communications

Your school is also about the students of the past – your alumni.  They expect to hear from you – with events, ongoing communications and fundraising. 

Financial Aid Booklets

Financial aid is a complex process for every student.  Do you have the publications in place to guide your students through this difficult process?

Student Manuals

It’s one of the most important information publications for every new student.  The student manual covers everything a student needs to know before starting school.

Your “Welcome New Students” package needs to show students around campus – what to do, where to go and how to get there.

Seminar Handouts

School or department newsletters - especially print newsletters- offer you a powerful vehicle to stay in touch and keep everyone up to date.

Promotional Items & Giveaways

At trade shows, conferences, seminars and other public events, school-labeled giveaways likes mugs, pens, hats and t-shirts can be a good way to build your school loyalty.

You can’t forget those business cards – for new employees and promotions for existing employees. We’ll keep your cards on file for easy updating and ordering.

Sometimes you want to reach out to your students, families or donors and say “thank you” with a gift or a simple card.  The important thing is to show you care.
