7 Super Cool Student Ambassador Programs to Check Out for Spring

More and more companies realize that traditional advertising is only one small way to relay their brands? messages. Sometimes, advertising is not the best way to reach every group, particularly the ?Gen-Z? population. Why? Because your generation doesn?t buy in the same way, or for the same reasons, that generations before you do.

Unlike Millennials who are easily influenced by celebrities or an implied status a product will give them, your generation is seen as more savvy when it comes to spending money. No other age group does more research on something before deciding whether or not to buy. Also, family and friends, not celebrities, are whose opinions you value in giving a product a chance, because authenticity is key.

For these reasons, companies work hard to enlist young adults to serve as ambassadors for their brand or product. They know a positive review or representation of their product from you will do more for them than the thousands of dollars in advertising could do.

This offers a good opportunity for you. Serving as a brand ambassador on your campus is not just a way to earn money, but it has other benefits. If you?re a business student, you?ll gain valuable training and knowledge in marketing, public relations, sales, and advertising. Other benefits include being able to share information about a product or brand you like, while getting rewarded.

The Ultimate Guide to Making Money in College (Without Donating Blood), a new eBook for college students, explain student ambassador programs this way:

?Student BA [brand ambassador] programs can be as simple as wearing a brand?s logo?ed T-shirt while handing out product samples to fellow students; to full, blown-out campaigns that include fancy demonstration booths, catered speaking events, and/or interviewing fellow students.

They give many student BAs payment in the form of stipends. They give others free product, company swag, and discounts. Still others get these. It usually depends on the size and budget of a company, and how interested a company is in claiming your age group?s market niche.?

If you?ve thought about being a student brand ambassador, I?ve rounded up a list of some of the hottest companies in the US offering outstanding brand ambassador programs. An outgoing personality, a love of helping others, an entrepreneurial spirit, and the ability to learn are the basic qualifications to be a great brand ambassador.
