College students are one of the most loyal, high-frequency spending groups in any local economy — and most local businesses have no direct way to reach them. Bag Carriers has partnered with a platform built specifically to change that. And it costs you nothing to get started.
The Opportunity
Every fall, thousands of new students arrive near your business. They're looking for places to eat, shop, work, and spend their evenings. They have disposable income, they're forming habits for the first time, and they tell each other about everything.
The problem is visibility. Without a direct connection to campus, local businesses are invisible to students who would become regulars if they just knew you existed. Traditional advertising doesn't reach them. Social media algorithms don't prioritize local businesses. And without a student-specific channel, you're competing with national chains that have massive marketing budgets.
Bag Carriers has partnered with a platform that solves this directly — connecting your business to verified college students in your area, with zero cost to list and no ad spend required.
"TheBiziApp gives you a direct, affordable way to reach nearby students looking for places to eat, shop, work, and hang out. No ad algorithms. No complicated setup. Just real visibility, right where students are looking."

How It Works
Sign up through Bag Carriers and we'll get your business listed on the platform. Your profile shows your location, hours, contact info, and any exclusive deals or offers you want students to see. No design skills needed. No monthly fee.
Offer whatever makes sense for your business — a percentage off, a free item with purchase, a first-time visitor discount, or a job opportunity. Students on the platform can browse deals from local businesses and choose where to spend. You control the offer completely.
Verified college students in your area see your business on their campus feed — the "Bizi Buzz" — alongside campus events, deals, and community updates. They visit, they spend, and if you treat them right, they come back with their friends. That's how student loyalty compounds.
Bag Carriers acts as your point of contact throughout — helping you set up your profile, craft an offer that converts, and making sure your listing is working for you. You get a platform built specifically for student discovery, with Bag Carriers making sure you're set up to take advantage of it from day one.
What You Get
Your business is visible to verified students on campus — not a broad demographic guess, but students who are physically near you, actively looking for local spots, and ready to spend. No algorithm deciding whether they see you.
Creating your profile and posting deals is completely free. The platform is funded by its growth, not by charging businesses to exist on it. You set your offer, post it, and students see it — without a subscription, setup fee, or ad budget.
Students actively look for businesses offering student deals before they decide where to go. A first-time offer on the platform gets them through the door — and if your business delivers, the relationship lasts all four years they're on campus.
Your business appears in the campus feed alongside local events, campus news, and community updates. Students aren't searching for ads — they're scrolling their campus community, and your business is naturally part of the conversation.
Looking for part-time staff? College students are among the most motivated, flexible workers available to local businesses. Post job opportunities directly to the student community and reach candidates who are already familiar with your area and looking for work near campus.
We handle your onboarding, help you craft an offer worth responding to, and check in to make sure it's working. You're not signing up for a platform and figuring it out alone — Bag Carriers is your point of contact from setup to results.
Who It's For
Students eat out constantly. A student discount makes you the default spot for dorm nights, study breaks, and weekend hangs.
Students shop locally when they know what's available. Get your store on their radar before they default to Amazon or a chain.
Haircuts, nails, lashes, massage — students are your most loyal repeat customers when you give them a reason to choose you first.
Students want affordable fitness options near campus. A student rate builds a member base that renews every year as new students arrive.
Escape rooms, bowling, arcades, mini golf — students are your most enthusiastic audience for group experiences and weekend plans.
Oil changes, phone repair, moving help, laundry — students need practical services and they'll become regulars at the first place that treats them well.
Campus nightlife is driven by word of mouth. Get discovered on the platform and become part of the rotation before they've even set their habits.
If there's a college nearby and students walk past your door, this puts you on their map — directly, affordably, and without competing with national chains on ad spend.
What Businesses Are Saying
We offered a 15% student discount and had new faces in the door within the first week. A few of them have already been back twice. The setup took ten minutes and cost us nothing.
Restaurant Owner — Near State University
College students are the best customers we have — they come in groups, they tip well, and they post everything. Getting on a platform they actually use was the missing piece.
Salon Owner — College Town Location
We posted a part-time job listing and had five qualified applicants within 48 hours. All students, all local, all available for the hours we needed. Couldn't have been easier.
