Goal:
Highlights the areas where we will be distributing the giveaways
to know the neighborhood and the people, the communities.
Target
in Atlantic Ave Mall - 1st Floor.
"At the entrance on the left, there’s a school section with bunch of interesting items."
"The $1 section has a few things we could repurpose - or at least inspiration great giveaways."

Additional ideas:
"Draw at the checking while waiting for mom & dad."
While parents discuss details with C16 staff, the front desk in C16 can have a lower table for kids - covered in large paper or with a large drawing pad and markers for the kids to draw.
The paper can feature the C16 logo, web address and other tennis icons - as a takeaway.
"Remember C16 at home"
Magnets - for the parents to put it on the refrigerator. In the US, parents often hang their kids artwork up on the fridge.
Not pictured: Birthday party - a pack of invitations for the parent to distribute to their child's invitees.
Uniqlo
in Atlantic Ave Mall - 2nd Floor.
Environment
Great "visual merchandising" and strong design language
The blocks on the wall - a la ABC alphabet blocks.
