Implementing a solution for your brand can be simpler than you might think. First, assess whether GenZ is a suitable target audience for your product. If they are, consider launching a student discount to attract this demographic and start building a loyal customer base.
You don't need complex tools to start. Similar to Gymshark, which uses Student Beans, you can implement this with Shopify's native capabilities along with a third-party app like Klaviyo for precise customer segmentation. Shopify allows you to tag customersenabling you to offer discounts specifically to students, streamlining the process, and ensuring that your promotions are only available to the right audience.
An additional benefit of this approach is that you can run these promotions without the branding of external services like Student Beans. This way, you maintain full control over the branding and messaging of your discounts for seamless integration with your existing marketing efforts.
