Hey guys- I'm new here. I need help from other studio owners (or anyone who has advice). I have a small studio in a building built in the late 1800's. A lot of the character remains but a lot of the building needs fixing up. My suite has 8 ft tall windows and 11 ft tall ceilings. It's pretty, but again, it could use some work. I could really use more space but the natural light and charm is hard to beat here.
I have the opportunity to sublet part of a retail space across the street from my building. Storefront has always been my goal. But getting signage out front would be hard here. Also, my space would likely be in the back as the retail shop would get up front. We would work hand in hand.. me shooting for their lookbooks, having photos in the front window, etc. I'm just worried about my studio name being visible. Plus I'm not sure how I feel about clients walking through a store to get to my studio.
I'd love to get input on which spot is better at this point. Cost is uncertain and I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of sharing with retail. I'd rather not feel like this is a gamble! They would get more traffic than I do on the second floor of my building. My audience is seniors and this shop has an anthropologie/urban outfitters look to it.
Thanks in advance!
