Student Spending Up
Student spending in Santa Cruz County is at an all-time high. Students will spend more than $479 million in our community during the academic year. Advertising in Student Guide Santa Cruz will get your message in front of this lucrative market segment.
$1 Billion Market
Including faculty, staff, and campus visitors, the total combined expenditures of almost $1 billion makes the University market one that continues to be increasingly rewarding to local businesses which succeed in attracting customers from the University.
Enrollment Expanding
After experiencing unprecedented growth in recent years, the University is now following a new plan that calls for enrollment to increase still further. Undeniably, more students will bring more spending power. The Student Guide is distributed free to students.
Get Your Share of Student Spending
Your business deserves its share of the valuable college market. New students and other members of the campus community are about to establish buying patters which will remain with them during their college years and, in many cases, beyond. Get them into the habit of patronizing your business at the beginning of the school year and keep them in the habit all year long by advertising in the Student Guide.
