Businesses in this class provide specialized advertising support services that don't fit neatly into agency, PR, media buying, or direct mail categories. Day-to-day work may include distributing branded promotional items (pens, keychains, magnets), painting or lettering signs, dressing store windows, decorating mannequins, conducting in-store merchandise demonstrations, or operating welcoming and concierge-style advertising programs. Many firms work on client premises or at retail locations rather than from a central facility.
