• Leave flyers about AIESEC in the office for students to pick up

• Set up a meeting with them to talk about AIESEC and the opportunities available for their students. Mention specific opportunities that align with that faculty or department
• Be sure to align yourself with their goals for their students and explain why you’re meeting with them - do research!
• Ask them to send your promotions and events out to their student lists
• Ask if you can do classroom presentations
• Work to see if they can sponsor their students to do TNs

• Explain the opportunities that AIESEC has for those students
• Pass out flyers and a sign-up sheet, and stay late in case some students have questions

Campus Radio &
• Research to see if it would cost money to advertise specific TNs (as examples) and events (info sessions, global villages) in your campus newsletter and radio
• If it does cost money, talk to your EB about the possibility of advertising there
• Radio shows are a great channel to communicate the why of AIESEC and showcase the impact of exchange through story telling. Get in touch with your campus radio to see if there are any shows that are relevant, which could feature AIESEC. Same with campus TV.
• Some faculties will have their own specific newspaper, website, or blog. Share testimonials and the why of AIESEC to those audiences too.

• Create a newsletter to be sent out to students around campus advertising events, info sessions, global villages, and specific TNs with application instructions and deadlines
• Have the advisors that you meet with send them out to their students or put them in their newsletters
• Make sure you put your contact information in the newsletter and any other relevant contact information.

Chalking, Flyering, and Tabling
• Be everywhere all the time - it doesn’t have to be much, just enough for students to notice
• Advertise more when you have an event or recruitment drive coming up
• BCPs:
• Chalk at the center of campus
• Target your flyering in areas with high traffic
• Use sticky notes as flyers - that way, you can use a lot for a low cost
• Make sure they are brand aligned and that you always include your LC’s website
• Even out the work load so that your members don’t burn out
• Try to involve the rest of the LC in helping

Career, Study Abroad, Work Abroad Fairs
• Try to have a presence at all of these
• You’ll be competing with other organizations and companies, so make sure your materials look professional and brand aligned
• Good materials to have:
• Past EPs’ testimonials
• Example or target TNs
• Sign-up sheet or laptop where students sign up
• Flyers or brochures

TN Fairs
• This is basically a career fair but for AIESEC TNs instead of companies individually promoting their jobs
• Get a good location
• Have them last as long as normal career fairs so students can stop in between classes
• Advertise! Emails, flyers, tabling, chalking, classroom talks
• If you’re doing target recruitment, really promote your target TNs here
• Make sure you have students sign up, and pass out flyers
• Tell students about the info session and deadline to apply

1.
Ineffective partnership
• # raised EPs vs. # TNs available/offered
• Result: More detractors, bad brand
• Solution:
• Expectation Setting
• The right pricing/payment method
2.
Poor co-delivery between your LC and the TN LC
• JD not delivered in reality
• Result: More detractors, bad brand
• Solution:
• Good expectation setting and constant communication with TN LC

• Spamming departments with promotion emails (instead pick your focus and create personal conversations)
• Promoting destinations on your university’s warning travel list
• (You need to respect that because you can be in big trouble and your LC can be closed because of the safety risk)
• Slow follow up/No response through emails
• Stopping communication after leadership change
• Sugar coating the quality/supply of our programs (try to under promise & over deliver)
• Lack of follow-ups with EPs with bad experience (they can be detractors of our program on campus)
