      Best Practices for Your Booth

      The best way to build excitement around Friendlier is to show up in person. When students see staff and peers talking about the program, answering questions, and representing reuse, it makes the behaviour feel normal, and even expected.

      A well-run booth can be the spark that drives awareness, clarifies the process, and encourages students to get involved right away.

      Who Should Run the Booth?

      Higher Ed / K-12:
      Tap into sustainability-focused student groups, residence life teams, or eco clubs. These students are often passionate about waste reduction and can confidently explain how Friendlier works and why it matters.

      Corporate Settings:
      Involve your food service team or members of your green/sustainability committees. These individuals can help share why your organization has made the shift to reuse and answer practical questions.

      Booth Setup Tips

      • Choose a Strategic Location
        Set up near cafeterias, food ordering stations, or return bins - anywhere students are already interacting with the program.

      • Incorporate a Game or Giveaway
        Prize wheels, or simple merchandise giveaways help attract foot traffic and give students a reason to engage. Reach out to info@friendlier.com if you're looking for Friendlier-branded merchandise for your booth.
        For deposit-model sites: Let students spin when they download the Friendlier app or show they’ve scanned a container.

      • Prepare a Clear Talk Track
        Keep it simple. Be ready to explain:

        • What Friendlier is

        • How to return a container

        • How the deposit works

        • Why your school or organization is participating

      • Use our Boothing One-Pager to ensure your team is equipped with the knowledge they need to answer any questions about Friendlier, reuse, and more.
