Increase your profile in the student community
Offering student discounts and benefits means you can begin to build brand loyalty with these important customers of the future.
ISIC benefits – and therefore your products – are promoted through different forms of marketing to students, targeting millions of students around the world through the ISIC website, national ISIC organisations, discount guides and more.
Build your brand image
Partnering with ISIC says a number of positive things about your company and product:
You take students seriously and care about their personal development.
You are associated with respected organizations which have endorsed ISIC, including UNESCO, the EU and national governments.
No financial investment required.
Partners pay nothing to ISIC to become affiliated, so with no financial risk, you have nothing to lose. All you need to do is offer a discount or benefit to ISIC cardholders. One solution, many markets.
ISIC partners reach multiple markets around the world in an efficient, cost-effective and coherent way. Here at ISIC, we do the negotiating and come up with the marketing solutions.
Guaranteed to target students. We can guarantee that only students access the benefits you offer ISIC cardholders. All ISIC cards have a unique serial number stored in our database, which means the ISIC Association can provide partners with online card validation.
