   A Proposal to MTN

2. Benefits to working in a student job Acquire valuable work experience for your résumé / CV Reduce the necessity for student loans Opportunity for networking with professionals Opportunity to sample different career choices Valuable and practical career-related experiences Exposure to the world of work Opportunity to enhance fundamental work skills Develop a sense of community and involvement with others About Rent-a-Student Established in 2008, Rent-a-Student secures casual and part-time jobs throughout term time and during the holiday periods for students of all ages. We have several long term corporate clients and daily list the latest student jobs, temporary jobs, internships & graduate jobs. We are a proudly South African company and Not for Profit ensuring that we can secure the best deals for students. Rent-a-Student advertise a range of jobs opportunities and work encompassing many categories from AuPair to Tutoring and everything in between. We specialize in placing student with large retail organizations and help facilitate many campaigns for events and promotions companies.
3. Why Partner with Rent-a-Student We are Not for Profit, we focus on Students and have a very loyal client base We have contacts are most higher / further educational establishments in South Africa We have students in all large (5,000 student campus) who work handing out marketing materials for us, this could include a MTN offer We can contact 35,000+ students in under 1 hour with targeted social media advertising costing less than R2,500, our click through rate is impressive Why Students need Rent-a-Student Students may need to work in order to meet educational and living expenses (recent grants issues exacerbated this problem) or may feel the experience could be a valuable part of their education. The skills obtained from working complements academic performance and communicates to future employers a students’ ability to succeed in a professional setting. Studies have shown that students who work do just as well or better academically than non-working students and grades improve as students work more hours per week (up to 20). In addition, working students are more likely to complete a degree program than non-workers.
4. Why we need Sponsorship Like most other Not for Profit organizations there is a limit to how much we can do ourselves within our limited means Through Facebook we can generate loyal customers who trust us and our offers. We would like to offer students certain communications benefits both now and on graduation We need to ensure a consistent flow of job opportunities for students and require someone to fulfill this role Ideally we would contact more employers but we are unable with existing resources Web site and social media development and updates require time and money for which we have limited resources (done by founders in spare time) Benefits to MTN Future high value customers captured early High traffic data users Helping students / youth Direct access to students via Rent-a-Student Advertising on Rent-a-Student site with click through / back links to MTN
5. How we envisage sponsorship working Firstly, we require sponsorship of our Facebook advertising to attract more students and keep existing students coming back (approx. R20,000 per month would guarantee another 5-10,000 students and pay for a part-time assistant to ensure jobs were added regularly) We would like to offer students a special deal on MTN with focus on data and a smartphone. By offering a great deal now for the duration of their studies, we believe we can sign up students to take standard packages once they graduate especially if some incentive was offered on graduation (we can manage this process if required) Rent-a-Student will activate students at selected campuses to promote MTN and our deal. We would also highlight MTN on our website and provide click through links, if appropriate we can supply student details to MTN for more personalized and targeted marketing Benefits to Students More jobs advertised = more opportunities to earn, supplement grants / loans and gain experience Affordable smartphone deal now with option to keep number once graduated (possibly with a bonus on graduation / taking out contact on graduation) Access to communications via smartphone / smartdevice
