Back to campus, back to busy! This September, America’s #1 Dry Shampoo Batiste is hitting the road for the second year in a row, this time with the Batiste Recess Tour. The brand will pop up near 16 college campuses across the U.S., bringing joy and nostalgia to busy students, inviting them to “Recess and Refresh” between classes with yard games, free snacks, and the brand’s signature dry shampoo.
While visiting the Batiste Recess truck, attendees will pick one of four beloved Batiste Dry Shampoo fragrances to take home – including Original, Fresh, Tropical and NEW Naturally Bamboo Fiber & Gardenia – each paired with a complimentary sparkling soda and bag of gourmet popcorn to enjoy. After receiving a full-size dry shampoo can, students are invited to take a break and enjoy yard games, win Batiste swag, mingle with fellow students and try their luck entering in a chance to win a year supply of Batiste product, plus $500 to the area’s local retailer.
“Batiste is proud to have award-winning dry shampoos that give our consumers great hair in minutes, so they are free to spend their energy and time on the things that bring them joy,” said Stacey Ramstedt, VP of Marketing for Batiste. “We are excited to bring our second iteration of the Batiste Tour to colleges across the country and encourage students to take a break for themselves, no matter their busy schedule.”
