I have a moving and storage business I’m launching with my friend this year at my University. We already have a website set up and most of the business. We just have to focus on actually finding customers, what’s the best way to target college student from my campus? If I ran social media ads is there a way to target people with the college email? (ex. [name]@msu.edu)

On move-in day, he walked around and talked to parents and students. He directly addressed the pain of moving in and offered his service right there. He got a few sign-ups from out-of-state parents who didn't want to deal with the hassle.

These are just ways that I saw it work, but I'm sure there's much more.
