Superbowl, Valentine's Day and More at CSUN
Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 06:07PM It's Feburary, and there are some great opportunites for local businesses and organizations to connect with the CSUN community. I'd like to share a few helpfull tips to help you get connected during the month of Feburary.
The Big Game. Big Screens, Great Beers and Sports Bars.
Febuary 5th is almost upon us. People are excited and finalizing their plans for the day. Places that can benefit from increaesed marketing activity during this time would be venues where people can watch the game together (bars and pubs) and places where people can load up snacks and drinks for the game (grocery stores and liquor stores).
Some ways to ramp up your efforts.

Get Practical. Textbooks, Taxes and Work Out Gear.
This month is not just about the special occasions. There are a lot of practical needs that student's faculty and staff at CSUN are trying to take care of this month. Classes have just started and students need to Buy Textbooks and are looking for them at the cheapest possible price, and are trying to get as much as they can selling their old books so they can have some more cash. Everyone is starting to get their tax info in the mail right now, charity receipts, w-2's and the like. In a busy month doing taxes is a huge hassle and everyone is looking to get some help. Student's will also be filling out the FAFSA, and looking for help with that as well. On a more positive note the New Gym on campus "The SRC" (Student Recreation Center) just opened (yesterday) so student are eager to work out and get in shape!

Looking ahead...
