Let’s be real: small businesses are hustling harder than ever to get noticed. You’ve likely tried the usual suspects—Facebook ads, flyers, maybe even a billboard you hoped would grab a few glances between red lights.
But despite all that effort (and spend), your message still slips through the cracks. Too much noise, too many distractions, and not enough attention.
What if there was a place where your potential customer is alone, not in a rush, and guaranteed to notice your message?
That place is the bathroom.
Welcome to bathroom advertising—the overlooked, underused, but ridiculously effective channel that smart Louisiana businesses are starting to take seriously.
🚪 Why Bathrooms Are a Goldmine for Local Ads
Picture this:
You walk into a clean bar restroom. There’s no phone out. No conversation happening. You’re waiting for the water to warm up, or the air dryer to finish.
And there it is—a poster. Big. Bold. Relevant.
You read it.
You remember it.
That’s called captive attention, and you can’t get it in most other ad spaces.
According to studies:
-
98% of people notice restroom ads
-
85% can recall details about the ad hours later
-
60% take an action (visit, search, or buy) within 24–48 hours
It makes sense: it’s one of the last ad-free moments in our day. And now, your business can own that space.
🧠 Why Most Businesses Miss the Mark
You might be thinking, “Okay, but I’ve seen bathroom ads before… and they looked bad.”
Exactly.
Here’s where most local businesses get it wrong:
-
They slap a flyer on a stall door.
-
They skip design quality.
-
They place it in a random venue with no connection to their audience.
-
They don’t track anything.
It’s not enough to put a poster in a bathroom.
You need a strategy — and that’s where StreetFeet Marketing comes in.

🔍 What a Bathroom Ad Campaign Could Look Like for Your Business
Let’s say you run a smoothie or juice bar in Baton Rouge. Your weekends are packed, but during the week — especially mid-morning and late afternoon — it’s slow.
You’ve tried boosting Instagram posts, handing out flyers, maybe even a billboard near the interstate. But it’s hard to tell if any of that is actually working.
Here’s what a bathroom ad campaign with StreetFeet Marketing might look like — step-by-step:
🎯 Objective:
Drive weekday foot traffic and encourage repeat visits with an exclusive in-store offer.
🧠 Strategy:
We place bold, branded posters in high-traffic gym bathrooms nearby — places your health-conscious audience already visits.
Each poster includes:
-
A catchy headline:
“Post-Workout? Grab 15% Off Your Next Smoothie — Today Only!” -
A QR code linking to your menu or Google Maps location
-
A simple instruction:
“Show this ad at the counter for your discount.”
📍 Execution:
-
Posters are installed in 3–5 local gym restrooms near your shop.
-
Each install is backed by:
-
📸 Photo proof
-
📍 GPS coordinates
-
🕓 Time-stamped records
-
-
You get a full report with exact drop locations and visuals.
📈 What Happens Next:
Within days, you might start noticing:
-
Customers coming in saying: “I saw your poster at the gym!”
-
A spike in QR code scans or visits to your Google listing
-
Real-time feedback from people redeeming the offer
-
Higher weekday sales and even repeat customers
🧪 Measuring Success:
-
QR Code scans show engagement
-
Promo redemptions track conversions
-
Optional: add a second follow-up offer for repeat visits
This example isn’t a made-up “success story.” It’s a playbook you can follow.
We’ve run similar setups for other local businesses, and when done right — it works. You’re reaching real people in real time, with no guesswork.
