Target Audience

The target audience is directed towards any gender of milennials in Ontario who have either recently graduated post-secondary education or are looking to start a new business and require a store front / brick + mortar. More than that, they want to create a visual identity for their brand to send a message and make a statement. They aren’t interested in just expensive and boujee furniture or wallpaper, but rather the feel/vibe/mood of the place. It’s about connecting with their clients and creating an energy and atmosphere that builds connection and establishes trust.

They value creativity, efficiency, professionalism, building a rapport, keeping up with trends but also having awareness of global aesthetics / style, and continuous education and growth. This audience is interested in art and aesthetics that elicit a vibe/mood and create an environment which is inspirational, motivational, and inspiring.

This target audience wants to build this connection with the designers of their space, so that they can trust their expertise when there is a rebrand, or simply needs freshening up after a certain amount of time or trends have passed / come. This relationship can lend itself to this audience to use this service for their personal spaces or recommend it to others.

They are people interested in personal expansion and growth, business and consumer-oriented but in an emotional way and are excited by newness in technology and trends.
