Vacant retail space in malls and shopping center is being converted into temporary attractions. Opportunities seem abound to land prime retail/high traffic space at little or no cost as a way to help fill-in the gaps that retailers are trying to make dissappear. What could the nonprofit sector be doing to maximize this opportunity? I have seen arts & crafts festivals promote community/nonprofit booths to fill-in stalls when artists cannot attend. Real estate firms loan moving trucks to community organizations when they are not is use by their clients. Gala fundraising events fill open tables with volunteers and strategic partners. Marketing opportunites are abound. The NCAA Final Four basketball torunament has an official ladder sponsor so the winning team can climb-up to cut down the nets. Clearly there are opportunities to make your presence known. Keep us posted if you have found a creative ways to address these opportunities.
