Salary benchmarks
Our take
Rewarding loyal customers with discounts is a tried and tested strategy for brands to engage with their audience. An ideal audience for such engagement is students on a budget. But, with rewards programs fragmented by brand, many potential customers can miss out on the opportunity.
UNiDAYS provides a student-driven brand marketing network, partnering with brands to market 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 them be rewarded for their shopping whilst greatly boosting brand engagement for businesses.
Whilst there are various other brand marketing networks competing with UNiDAYS, it is undeniably a dominant force. It has over 25 million student members, meaning it is in a prime position to empower brands that want to reach this market - and save students money in the process.
