Connecting with the Next Generation of Consumers.

SPAR university gives brands direct access to a highly attractive Gen Z audience. Every day, thousands of students visit the on campus stores as part of their daily routine. They stop by for coffee between lectures, a quick lunch, or a snack on the go. These are natural, high frequency moments that make brand exposure feel relevant and contextual. Altogether, this leads to nearly one million visits per month from a pure student audience.

The visibility within this environment is exceptional. Large in store videowalls create strong visual impact at the point where students are making purchase decisions. At the same time, the SPAR university app plays an important role in student life. The app is widely used thanks to its popular coupons and discounts, offering brands an additional digital touchpoint to engage Gen Z before, during, and after their visit.

With 15 locations across university campuses throughout the Netherlands, SPAR university combines physical visibility with digital engagement, all within a concentrated student ecosystem.
