By using a vacant storefront, your brand gains exposure to high foot traffic in prime locations without the financial commitment of a long-term lease. It’s an affordable, flexible way to bring your brand story to life and capture the attention of passersby who may not otherwise engage with your online presence.
If your brand has a compelling story or unique product to showcase, and you're looking to increase brand awareness and engagement, you are a great fit. Our service works well for e-commerce brands seeking to extend their reach and for brands launching new products or entering new markets.
We handle most of the design, crafting, and installation. However, you will need to provide branding materials such as logos, product images, and any content related to your story or campaign. If you have specific products to showcase, we will need those as well.
From initial consultation to launch, the typical timeline is as short as 1-2 weeks depending on the complexity of campaign and design. The setup process itself is quick (half day), and we ensure everything is ready in time for maximum impact.
Yes! We work with landlords and property owners to identify high-traffic areas that suit your brand’s demographic. While you can specify desired locations, we also provide recommendations based on location data and foot traffic analysis.
Our modular system is made up of reusable components such as backdrops, signage, furniture, and props. You can choose from a pre-designed modular setup for cost efficiency, or opt for a fully customized design to perfectly reflect your brand’s aesthetic and message.
You will receive detailed metrics on foot traffic, engagement time, social media interactions, and QR code scans leading to your website. This data helps you gauge the effectiveness of the campaign and refine future activations.
We provide real-time data on foot traffic, time spent engaging with the display, and even video analytics that show which elements of the display are most captivating. Additionally, we track social media engagement and conversions via QR codes.
Yes, you can choose between exterior displays (such as vinyl, signage, and clings on the façade) or interior activations (more immersive experiences inside the storefront). Your choice depends on the type of message you want to convey and the level of interaction you want with passersby.
Costs vary depending on factors such as the location, duration, and level of customization (modular vs. custom design). We offer flexible pricing and work with you to stay within your budget while maximizing impact.
Your vacant storefront gets activated, bringing foot traffic and exposure to your property, which helps attract potential tenants. It also enhances the vibrancy of the area, making your property more appealing to future businesses. Did we mention, you get to generate revenue during a time that would be a complete financial loss? Oh, we should have lead with that?
Our installation team ensures that all displays are installed safely and professionally. We take care to minimize disruption and guarantee that no damage is done to the property. Once the activation is over, the space is returned to its original condition.
No, there are no long-term leasing commitments. Brands only use the space for the duration of the activation (typically a few weeks to a couple of months), which provides flexibility without the financial burden of a full lease. We sign a license deal which gives you flexibility to terminate the use of space in case a long term tenant should become available.
We handle everything from permitting and logistics to design, fabrication, and installation. You won’t have to worry about any of the technical or operational aspects of the activation—we manage it all.
Yes, increased visibility and engagement from your storefront activation will draw more foot traffic to your building, benefiting all tenants by creating a more dynamic, appealing environment.

We offer a collaborative approach, and you can approve or decline brands based on your property’s values or target demographic. We work closely with you to ensure the brands align with your vision.
