University & Student Sampling
Reach millions of young adults with your product and brand.
Student sampling is getting your product into the hands of a specific and somewhat niche market, at a pivotal and impressionable time of their lives.
Depending on your target audience, Relish can reach the best suited university audience for you – be it Sports, Fashion Design, Medicine, Music, Drama, the list goes on. Your samples will go directly to these Universities at any time during the academic year that best suits your campaign goals and KPIs.

Student Sampling with Relish
Some students may only enjoy certain brands during their time at Uni, whilst others will embark upon a lifetime of brand loyalty during this pivotal time in life. Either way, university product sampling can reach students in a number of ways: at their halls of residence, in their dorms or their student unions. Product samples for students is a great way to build their brand loyalty and convert them in to a lifelong customer.
We’ve helped some of the UK’s reach students with their products across:
- Sweet and savoury treats
- Hot drinks sachets
- Beauty and skincare
- Fragrance
- Soft drinks
