Many businesses benefit tremendously from CicLAvia, some noting record sales, with thousands of potential customers passing by open storefronts throughout the day. We encourage you to participate, even if it’s just by greeting people who pass by your front door. CicLAvia is a great opportunity to engage potential customers who may return time and time again.

CicLAvia Savings Program

Customer engagement ideas include:

1. Plan on being open the day of the event

Make your storefront visible with signs and banners.

2. Bring your business outside

If you have permission to use the sidewalk in front of your business, feel free to bring products, music or seating outside. (Please note: under the terms of CicLAvia’s permit, no stationary objects are allowed in the street itself.)

3. Participate in the CicLAvia Savings Program
