College Ambassador Programs

 

Benefits for the College Ambassadors

Compensation is the most obvious benefit for college ambassadors to take the job. However, compensation looks different to each brand. Some programs offer merchandise and product purchasing perks. Many programs pay hourly. Others pay commission based (merchandise circulated, leads generated). And, some programs even provide a salary. According to Indeed, the average compensation for a student brand ambassador is about $10.50 an hour. That pay is similar to many retail or university jobs, providing helpful extra income to anyone taking a full class load.

Another advantage of these sorts of positions is professional growth and networking. Not only can college brand ambassadors gain business-related skills that can be applied long after they graduate, but they gain familiarity with prominent national or even international companies. Needless to say, these types of relationships can be extremely beneficial (resume boosters!) when it’s time to join the workforce.

Lastly, time management is a key aspect of any college student’s life. Taking a job as a college brand ambassador or campus rep provides flexibility that traditional jobs don’t. A majority of these positions are remotely based, so most of tasks rely on a student’s ability to achieve goals and perform them alone or with a small team of other reps on campus. With solid time management skills, these types of jobs can coincide effectively with a student’s full-time class schedule.
