Well if you are a travel company targeting students, I have a few pieces of advice for you. Students travel for two reasons, either going to sports or going home. So if you can reach them in one of those situations, you're filling a need.<p>As you may be aware, the college football season is winding down and it is almost time for the bowl season (college football playoffs). What that means is that you will have a lot of schools travelling all over the country to play their bowl game and a lot of students trying to figure out how to get there. If you put together some sort of special for students who are travelling to those games, you could reach a pretty sizable market. I would recommend picking some of the larger bowl games (Sugar bowl, fiesta bowl, rose bowl, orange bowl) and as soon as they announce who will be going to which bowls, doing promotions at the schools that will be travelling to those bowls.

Context is everything in these situations. A little info on what your start-up does, who you intend to target, etc would help.

Please post at least your target market and what you hope to achieve or what your objective is. Do you want mindshare or do you want to convert to sales? What is your product or service?
