Salary benchmarks
Our take
Rewarding loyal customers and offering discounts have long since been excellent strategies for brands to engage with their audience, and an example ideal audience for such engagement is students on a budget. However, discounts and rewards are fragmented by brand, leading many potential customers to miss out on the opportunity, presenting a gap in the market for a more unified student offer solution.
UNiDAYS provides a student-driven rewards and brand marketing network, partnering with brands to market discounted rewards, discounts, and opportunities to student demographics. Any student can sign up, giving them access to a large marketplace of curated freebies and deals, helping students to be rewarded for their shopping whilst greatly boosting brand engagement for the client.
Whilst there are various other brand marketing networks competing with UNiDAYS, the company shows great dominance in the market with over 13m verified student members and a 14% average conversion rate. Through its marketing network, the company claims it can empower brands to deliver multi-channel marketing experiences, whilst saving students money and enhancing their customer journey.
