Students Flock to Promo Products at CollegeFest
The non-profit organization, Campus Philly held its annual CollegeFest event at Dilworth Park. This event brings together college students and businesses to share information for potential post-grad opportunities. More than 20 companies were in attendance with information packets, discounts, games, and of course: promo products.
In 2017, more than 5,000 students attended CollegeFest. The purpose of the event is to encourage students to remain in the Philly area after they graduate. My favorite giveaway was of course the baseball caps handed out from the Philadelphia Phillies.
