35. Learnings & Recommendations -The largest schools, like Penn State and UT Austin, are less receptive to guerilla tactics due to overwhelming amounts of advertisements on campus and strictly enforced regulations. -The timing of the campaign could have inhibited the success of the hand-to-hand distribution of handbills, on account of several possibilities: -On most campuses it was midterm week, and busy, stressed-out students are less likely to stop and talk. -It was election week, and students were inundated with campaigners on campus, thus they were more likely to ignore ambassadors or discard materials. -The stencil should be a bit larger, as the small text was somewhat difficult to decifer on certain surfaces. -Chalk stenciling was the most well received and intriguing mode of advertising among students on all the campuses, and handbills were a second favorite, as it provides a takeaway that reinforces the site URL.
