How to Nail Your Brand Activation
Plan with purpose. Set a goal—sales, followers, hype?—and pick a spot that fits—busy streets, quiet lots, online even. Budget smart—small can still slay. Promote early—teasers, countdowns, collabs with local voices.
- Staff it right: Train your crew to vibe, not just vend.
- Track it: Use QR codes or tags to see what sticks.
- Follow up: Thank attendees with a perk—discounts, a recap vid.
