Part of the AXtion AD Rax (NAM original) College Marketing Program

1. The On-Campus Coolness Fact-or

AXtion College Postcards are artsy, funky, sexy & cool. And that’s not just our opinion; ask anyone who collects or sends these free cards to friends, family members, colleagues!

2. The System is Designed as a Take-One, Not a Give-Away

Students, faculty, administration and staff take only the particular AXtion College Postcards, which appeal to them. Each AXtion Card is selected on a voluntary basis and with enthusiasm. Students identify strongly with their AXtion College Postcards, i.e. YOUR ADVERTISEMENT;
WHY? Because they chose them!

3. Substantial Results

The take-one rate of your AXtion Card college marketing campaign can be measured by counting the number of cards available in our AXtion AD RAX Displays at the end of each month. This data can be used to compare the relative attractiveness of your offer/advertisement to other ongoing marketing campaigns you may have.

4. Baseball Cards/Stamps/Comics/-AXtion College Postcards = Collectible Items!

STARTING TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE?

AXtion College Postcards lend a collectible advantage to your ad campaign. Many people enjoy magazines, bus-shelter, billboard ads and TV commercials, which are difficult to collect unlike FREE AXtion College Postcards which are tangible.

5. Word Of Mouth

When someone mails an AXtion Card to a friend, family member or colleague, they are exposing a secondary/multiple audiences to your advertising message. This increases the overall reach of your marketing campaign and allocates more bang for your advertising dollar.

6. The Endorsement x 2 x 3 x 4

AXtion College Postcards can be found on 531 campuses with total enrollment exceeding 5,500,000 college students. This is a strong endorsement, of AXtion College Postcards in general and your specific AXtion Card advertisement in particular.

7. Qualified Audience

The ad medium is simple. If a student isn’t interested in a particular product, they most likely won’t take that AXtion Card. Thus, Each and Every AXtion Card ends up in the hands of students who are genuinely interested in the message, brand, product or service being advertised.
