Why Exhibit
Exhibiting is a major source of recruiting college students and has been proven to be a highly
productive way of getting face to face time with prospective students in their own
communities! Exhibiting is a powerful marketing tool for your university because it is an
effective form of viability, which is one of the key essentials in marketing strategy. Some
students come to college fairs just for your college and have been counting down the years to
attend! Building and strengthening your relationship with students in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia and
surrounding areas is vital for enrolment at your university. March for College, Inc. wants to help
increase college/university enrollment! Our economy has started its uptick and now is the perfect time
to meet and discuss with students/parents about your program!
