Challenge: To increase business during a pandemic by creating awareness of safety precautions implemented in each store while also measuring the activity of which stores perform best.

This allowed us to focused on the foot traffic and drive results each week. Our efforts quickly led to 20 new patrons in just 1 week. Using Social Media to increase branding and help push people into the stores.
