48% of students plan on using brands they hadn’t used before, as a result of seeing them at their Freshers’ Fayre. *

When asked, 64% of over 6,000 students highlighted freebies as the main draw for attending their Freshers’ Fayre. *

Offering some kind of financial discount is welcomed but it’s not the be-all-and-end-all. Students want to be engaged, even entertained, with interactive stalls and, of course, some interesting freebies. *
