General Information


With in excess of 24,000 students you'd be mad not to take advantage of our Marketing & Advertising opportunities. We have a number of marketing opportunities available within the Students' Union (we can also try to accommodate your ideas), to give you some idea here is what is currently available:

MUD (Middlesex Union Direct)

is the Union's and University's only printed magazine. It is written and edited by a team of students (over 100 different contributors during the past year). It is published monthly (during term time) and has a circulation of 4,000 (although recent research by the NUS suggests that each issue may be read by as many as 6 different people) and is an A5, full colour, glossy magazine. The magazine is available from all Union areas (shops, bars, and admin. offices) and is distributed to the 5 main campuses.

Advertising rates are as follows:

A5 (full page) Back Page £300.00 + VAT
A5 (full page)
Inside Front Page £225.00 + VAT
A5 (full page) Inside Back Page £200.00 + VAT
A5 (full page) Internal Pages £175.00 + VAT
A6 (half page) Back Page £200.00 + VAT
A6 (half page) Inside Front Page £150.00 + VAT
A6 (half page) Inside Back Page £130.00 + VAT
A6 (half page) Internal Pages £110.00 + VAT

Book 2 issues and receive a 10% discount, book 3 and receive a 15% discount, book 4 or more and receive a 20% disocount.


Flyer Inserts £100 per thousand + VAT

Hand distribution of flyers alone is also available at £125 per thousand + VAT

I doubt you will find cheaper ad rates at any Union in the country, let alone London, so ads sell very quickly.

Artwork needs to be CMYK (for colour) or Greyscale (for mono). All artwork should be minimum 300dpi (for optimum print quality) and if a full-page ad needs 3mm bleed (if you or your designers are unsure we are happy to help). Files should be supplied as Tiff or Jpeg. We are experienced designers and can produce artwork for you (please inquire for rates or samples of work).

Flyer Distribution

Hand distribution of flyers is available £125 + VAT per thousand (done by our student marketers).

Stall Hire

Stall hire is available at each of our 3 main campuses Enfield, Hendon & Trent Park. Each campus has in excess of 4,000 students and your stall is positioned in a high foot-fall area (a lounge area which includes the main catering facility for the campus as well as a bar and, at Trent Park a shop as well). Stalls are charged at £100 per day and you are able to distribute flyers and/or brochures etc. You can bring display boards with you although space is limited to an area of around 6'x 6'. This is particularly popular with large companies like Barclaycard and STA Travel who regularly do 'campus mini-tours' and traders (CDs, Books, Posters etc). We are taking bookings at the moment, but be quick as the best days are already going!

Poster Display

Poster display is available, although it is limited (we use the area for our own notices, posters, and promotions). Prices are as follows:

A4 Poster £3 (each per week)
A3 Poster £5 (each per week)
A2 Poster £10 (each per week)
A1 Poster £20 (each per week)
A0 Poster £40 (each per week)

Dumpbins

We can position dumpbins for you at Enfield, Trent Park this is charged at £75 per month or £500 per year.

E-zine Database

We also have a database of more than 6,000 students e-mail addresses and can include an advert into one of our regular 'musuinfo' e-zine. This is charged at 20p per e-mail.

Other Opportunities

We also hope to offer text message advertising in the very near future, please let us know if you would like further details.

This is an idea of what is on offer at the moment. However, if you have other ideas then please let us know, we will do our best to work out a price and try to accommodate your requirements. We can offer some discounts on multiple bookings please let us know what you are interested in.
