Many businesses are reluctant to advertise to college students because they feel that college students lack the extra funds to spend on services that are considered luxuries. The fact that many businesses sense that leaves an opening for businesses that are willing to take the time and money to target them.

That is why so many businesses offering cleaning and delivery services like LifeEase Home Services, Crazy Hungry, Dorm Delivery Express, and College Bellhop have become so popular. The reason those businesses are able to reach college students and get them to spend is because they realize that college students are busy, just like professionals. Many students take 15 to 18 credits each semester while working a full-time job. Another reason is, not all students have transportation, so having items delivered is a more convenient option, especially in bad weather. A third reason is, many students have roommates, that allows them to combine their money for the cost of luxury services. The final reason that those businesses have become popular is, they are run by college students or recent college graduates, so they know what people want.

Those successful businesses are showing that college students these days are willing to spend more money if it can help ease the frustration of being in college.
