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)

One of my friends helped market this for a business at my University. He did:

  1. Create an Instagram account follow students on campus and offer X% off with a certain code.
  2. Create an Instagram account to follow students on campus and offer X% off with a certain code.t has a new feature where if you register your account with your University/college you can be added to your class story (ex. Clemson 24') that has that year's students who also registered. You can get thousands of views.
  3. Create an Instagram account to follow students on campus and offer X% off with a certain code.
  4. 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.
