Check this out!

Although we are a public relations firm, fields like advertising still sit closely with our line of work. With the state of the economy stores are forced to close down around the country. Check out what these landlords are offering companies in this article... creative storefront advertising!

Landlords are taking abandoned retail spaces and leasing/renting them to companies at cut-rate prices. Though, "At first, advertisers saw storefront advertising as a poor man’s billboard — that is, a bad thing. Now, they see it as a poor man’s billboard — that is, brilliantly frugal."

If you live in Philadelphia you can even see an Advanta sponsored storefront ad on Walnut Street!


So what do you think about these ads?
