Opportunities

Are you looking for innovative, cost-effective ways to grow your business and reach new audiences? An integrated marketing campaign that leverages strategic partnerships can make a real difference in today's multi-channel, digital world. The Department of Campus Recreational Services at Binghamton University offers flexible and creative advertising programs designed to meet your marketing needs — and budget.

What we offer

Do you want to connect with active, health-conscious college students? Partner with Campus Recreation to get your message in front of our engaged market of student, employee and community members.

The Rec Center, which houses the FitSpace fitness facility, a five-lane swimming pool, three group exercise studios and a gymnasium, continues to be one of the busiest and most popular places on campus. On average, the Rec Center sees over 310,000 visits every year — and that number continues to grow.

Our reach goes beyond the Rec Center. Nearly 70% of undergraduate students use Campus Recreation's facilities or programs, including Club Sports, Intramural Sports and Outdoor Pursuits.

Whether you choose to advertise in the Rec Center, sponsor an event or support facility signage, you will gain valuable exposure and visibility to thousands of Bearcats daily.

Advertising

Digital

Display your message on two highly visible LCD digital screens strategically placed in the Recreation Center lobby or on the 25 fitness equipment screens in FitSpace, the University's state-of-the-art fitness center. Your advertisement will be part of a rotation that will play several times per hour on screens up to 18 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Print

Get your information in the hands of our members with flier or brochure displays in the Rec Center lobby. You can also choose to have your fliers hung on the boards around the facility, which are strategically placed in high traffic areas such as bathrooms, locker rooms and near stairwells.

Email marketing

Feature your company name and logo in a monthly newsletter sent to more than 5,000 people. The monthly newsletter consistently has an open rate of over 50%, which is more than double the average open rate of similar newsletters.

Product demonstrations and tabling

Create a memorable experience by hosting a table in the high traffic lobby of the Recreation Center. Sponsorship partners may distribute marketing materials and promotional items, or demonstrate products with on-site sampling.

Program or event sponsor

There are many unique ways your company can support student programming while simultaneously reinforcing your brand's message. Become a sponsor for a programming area or choose to sponsor a specific event, like an intramural sports tournament, outdoor adventure activity or club sport competition. You will receive recognition on related print and web marketing materials. This is an excellent way to get your brand seen by players, parents and fans.

• Sponsor an intramural sports league
• Sponsor club sport team apparel
• Sponsor intramural officiating shirts, play jerseys or champion shirts
• Sponsor a one-time event, like a tournament, outdoor adventure activity or wellness class

Facility signage

Challenge Course

Sponsor signage or an element on the Challenge Course, Binghamton University's adventure-based teambuilding program. The program serves student groups, university departments, area businesses and community organizations. Your company has the unique opportunity to sponsor Challenge Course signage, equipment or elements like the zip line.

Disc Golf Course

Place your company name and logo on course signage at one of the area's only 18-hole disc golf courses. Your company can sponsor either a tee sign or goal basket. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, the Greater Binghamton Disc Golf Club and area community members all enjoy Binghamton University's public disc golf course on campus.

Recreational Turf Complex

Banner

Promote your organization with a full-color banner for display on the recreational turf complex. The banner will be visible to the thousands of students who practice and compete on the turf field each season.

Scoreboard

All eyes are on the scoreboard during the game. Get your logo seen by players and fans by sponsoring the scoreboard at the Recreational Turf Complex, which hosted more than 450 games last year.
