Tips for maximum adoption
The most successful institutions use multiple channels and repeat messaging across the year. Here's what we've seen work best.
Need help promoting TalkCampus? Use our communication strategy guide.
Launch at orientation when engagement is highest and students are actively looking for resources.
Repeat messaging quarterly. Students forget, and each term brings new challenges and new intake.
Get staff buy-in. When lecturers and RAs mention TalkCampus in person, students pay attention.
Use QR codes. They work brilliantly in lectures, on posters, and at events.
Run a sign-up competition with small prizes to create buzz in the first few weeks.
