In our marketing classroom, students are eager to learn about branding, promotion, and creative marketing strategies. This project aims to enhance my students learning experience by providing them with mini buttons as a hands-on tool for marketing campaigns. By designing and creating their own buttons, students will gain valuable insights into branding and promotional tactics while developing their creative skills.
This project will provide students with the opportunity to engage in a practical marketing project that enhances their understanding of branding and promotional strategies.
Students will design unique mini buttons that reflect their personal brand they create, foster creativity and innovative thinking.
A button-making machine and supplies will allow students to produce their own buttons. This hands-on experience will give them insight into the production process and the importance of quality in marketing materials. It will also help with mental health as the buttons can display affirmations.
Students will organize a mini marketing campaign where students distribute their buttons to promote a cause, event, or their own personal brand. This will allow them to apply their learning in a real-world context. After the campaign, students will reflect on their experiences, discussing what worked, what could be improved, and the impact of their promotional efforts.
More than half of students from low‑income households
