When you’re a small business owner in a small strip mall or shopping center, you’re generally limited with the things that you can do to draw attention to your business. The good news is that most shopping centers allow their lessees to adorn their storefronts with custom canvas awnings, which offer several important benefits. They’re a very cost-effective way to add a touch of class to any storefront, and they’re an advertisement that runs around the clock. They also protect your customers from the elements, increase the effective size of your retail sales floor, and offer utility savings.

As a small business owner, setting up shop in a strip mall or shopping center offers some really great advantages. For starters, you’re usually in a convenient, easy-to-find location. And you can often expect to get some extra walk-in business from people patronizing other businesses. Unfortunately, even if you have the best product or service in town, if your storefront doesn’t draw attention and issue a call to action, those potential walk-ins might not notice you at all!
