What's a Good Venue for Your Brick Stations?

Brick powerbank stations are useful in many settings. Truth be told, any location where people are likely to spend a significant amount of time and need to charge their devices can be a good venue for your powerbank stations. 

You, as a Brick partner, know your market better than anyone else. We could simply list a bunch of venues for you to go to, but a) what’s the fun in that, b) we don’t want to tell you how to run your business, and c) we want you to be creative when brainstorming. That’s why we have a few pointers to help you come up with venues in your market!

Consider the demographic you want to target. Who will be using the powerbank stations? If you’re thinking of targeting students, then college campuses and libraries could be suitable venues. If you want to target business professionals, then airports and workplaces could work!

Assess the foot traffic
Evaluate the number of people who pass through the location or venue each day. The higher the foot traffic, the more likely the powerbank station will be used.

Analyze the length of stay
This is an important one. Consider the amount of time people typically spend at a venue. If people spend a significant amount of time at the location, they may need to charge their devices during their stay. Venues, such as fast-food restaurants and kiosks, where people don’t spend a lot of time are not the best locations to place a station. 

Analyze the size of the venue
We might be getting ahead of ourselves here, but it’s good to think about. Consider the venue size to determine how many powerbank stations are required to serve the users. For example, larger venues may need a large station (e.g., 48-slot station) whereas smaller venues could succeed with a smaller station (e.g., 6-slot station).
