And stand out, we did! We used the bubble machine to gain attention of passersby. Several people stopped to ask, “What’s the bubble machine for?” or “What do you guys do with bubbles?”.

It was a great conversation starter. And we had several valuable conversations with lots of incredible people.

Educators from all over the country willingly discussed their challenges when it comes to communication with students. Conversation after conversation yielded the same painful responses:

“Students don't read email”

“Students don't look at flyers”

“It's hard to keep up on the 7-8 other social networks out there that students check.”

We were able to offer our solution to centralize information and communicate to students the way they prefer to communicate today - through mobile and social media. Many agreed that Campus Bubble would work for their challenging situations.

Through those conversations, we made lasting impressions and made a commitment to stay connected after the conference. Since then, we have continued our dialogue with the wonderful people we met.

Like our bubble machine, Campus Bubble is a great way to initialize conversation in an academic setting. We understand the importance of student communication and community engagement, and have a great perspective from which we can help face those challenges head on.
