Expanding On-Campus Presence Through Tabling Events
One of the most effective ways we've introduced students to 9Yaps is by showing up where they are right on campus. We've hosted regular tabling events at the University of South Florida, Tampa, and now we're expanding our reach to other campuses including:
- USF St. Petersburg
- University of Tampa
These events are all about connection; giving students the chance to download 9Yaps, grabbing some exclusive discounts, spin a prize wheel, grab some 9Yaps swag, and learn more about how we're supporting local businesses.
Offering Internships That Empower Students
We believe that students should build the brand right alongside us and that's why 9Yaps offers internship opportunities for students looking to gain hands-on experience in marketing, outreach, project management, and brand growth.
Our campus network keeps growing and so does the value of our users. We're constantly expanding our roster of local and national brand partners, giving students more options to save on everything from from and coffee to retail and experiences. Whether it's a local ice cream spot, or a cozy movie theater, we're working to bring real value to student wallets.
Growing Through Social Media & Student Volunteers
Social media is a key part of how we're building our brand voice. From reels and TikTok's to giveaways and campus highlights, we're using platforms like Instagram, our website, and our app to build awareness connect with students, and promote our brand partners.
We're also growing a team of student volunteers who help us engage with their peers, come up with relatable content, and keep the 9Yaps momentum going both online and in real life.
What's Next For 9Yaps?
The energy around 9Yaps is growing, and we're just scratching the surface. With more campuses, discounts, events, and student-driven initiatives in the works, the future looks bright (and affordable).
