3. Logo prominence: Place the brand's logo prominently on the storefront to establish brand recognition and reinforce the brand's presence.
4. Window displays: Curate visually appealing window displays that showcase the brand's products, lifestyle, or brand story. Ensure that the displays are regularly updated to keep them engaging and eye-catching.
5. Materials and textures: Use materials and textures that align with the brand's identity. For example, if the brand is rustic and natural, incorporate elements such as wood or plants into the storefront design.
