University of Salford

  • Client: University of Salford
  • Location: Manchester
  • Date completed: 2020

The University of Salford is located close to the city centre of Manchester in the north of England. Over 70,000 students choose to live in Manchester, making it one of the biggest student populations in Europe.

The Challenge

We're constantly exposed to digital marketing - from in-app advertising on our smartphones to in-newsfeed adverts and emails. This makes us more adept at tuning them out so it's becoming increasingly difficult for marketers to have their content actually seen by customers. 

It may seem easier and cheaper to send out the information to the potential student via email, but would they actually read it, or even open it? In contrast, print is simple, in a good way. It’s very memorable due to a combination of its traditional and tactile attributes.

The Solution

Salford Uni wanted to make sure they left a lasting impression on their potential students and chose to do this through the power of print, for potential students who had received offers from the University, the eye-catching mailbox was sent out in the post containing a lanyard and information pack. A gesture like this helps offer a further inducement for the recipient to choose UOS for their higher education. 

The print for this project was done on our LED UV press which keeps the colours bright and vibrant and consistent with the rest of their printed materials. Consistency is key when it comes to strong branding.

The entire visual concept was provided by our client based on a previous successful spec, we absolutely love making your print ideas a reality.
