The Student Market

When advertising to students, you are dealing with a techno savvy audience who are the youth of today, and the faces of tomorrow. They manage to spend on average £6,000 annually giving a total spend of over £14 billion per year. They are just embarking on adult life and developing new communities, interests and consumption patterns.    

Music:
Students favourite leisure interest is music. Going to see gigs, downloading their favourite artist tracks and discussing the latest music fashions is high on their agenda.

Mobile:
99% of students own a mobile with an average monthly spend of  £52 and claim this is the only thing they cannot live without (42% have two mobiles). The ability to access the internet on the go is the main reason for owning a phone.
