A dorm room sampling program delivers your product directly into student residence halls, either room-to-room by trained campus teams or through centralized welcome kits. It is the most personal brand touchpoint in college marketing because the product lands in the student's own living space.
Move-in day is the single highest-impact window, new students are building brand preferences from scratch with zero existing habits. Back-to-school (August-September) and second semester move-in (January) are the two primary windows. We also run ongoing semester-long dorm drop programs.
We maintain partnerships with housing offices, residential life departments, and RA leadership at 600+ campus housing programs nationwide. Our campus relations team manages all approvals, scheduling, and compliance on your behalf.
A single-campus dorm program typically reaches 500-5,000 on-campus residents depending on the university size and housing enrollment. National programs across 50-100 campuses can reach 100,000-500,000 students in a single semester.
Consumables perform best, food, beverages, health and wellness products, personal care, and supplements. Tech accessories, school supplies, and branded lifestyle products also see strong results. We advise on pack sizes and formats that work within dorm delivery logistics.
