Easy ways to reach local families, shoppers, and visitors, right here in the community.

If you’re a local business in the Coachella Valley, nonprofit, school, or service provider, you already know how hard it can be to stand out. At The Shops at Palm Desert, we help you connect with real people in a real place, when they’re already out shopping, dining, and spending time together.

Whether your goal is more awareness, more leads, or more face-to-face conversations, we can build a partnership that fits your budget and your schedule.

What kinds of partnerships are available?

1) Get seen: mall advertising + visibility

These options help your brand stay in front of shoppers consistently.

• Large banners inside the mall (high visibility)
• Signage placements in select areas
• Seasonal campaign features (Valentine’s, Spring & Easter, Back-to-School, Holiday, etc.)
• Digital boosts through our digital channels when tied to a campaign or event (website, newsletter, SMS and social media)

Best for: businesses that want steady local exposure and repeated visibility.

2) Show up: tabling + community presence

Want to meet people in person? We can set you up with simple, friendly ways to engage.

• Business spotlight tables / “info hours”
• Sampling + demos (food, wellness, beauty, services, fitness, etc.)
• Lead capture opportunities (raffles, QR codes, opt-ins)
• Appointment scheduling on-site (great for services)

Best for: building trust fast and having real conversations.

3) Activate your brand: displays + experiential activations

If you want something bigger than a table, and more memorable than an ad, we also offer in-mall brand activations that create a “wow” moment and invite interaction.

Examples include:

• Vehicle displays (auto dealers, specialty vehicles, new model spotlights)
• Product showcases (tech, home improvement, lifestyle, travel, recreation)
• Interactive installations (photo moments, demos, hands-on experiences)
• Seasonal pop-ups (new launches, limited-time concepts, community tie-ins)

This is ideal for brands that want:

• High-impact awareness (shoppers stop, look, and take photos)
• Lead capture through QR codes, raffles, and scheduling
• On-site staff presence for questions, bookings, or appointments (optional)

We’ll help you think through the layout, shopper flow, and simple ways to make the display more interactive.

4) Be part of the fun: event partnerships + sponsorships

Our events bring the community together—and your brand can be part of the experience.

• Sponsor an event (big or small options)
• Donate a prize or gift card (easy way to participate)
• Be included in a featured gift basket giveaway
• Host an activity or interactive moment at the event

Best for: awareness + goodwill + getting in front of families and locals in a positive way.

What can a partnership help you achieve?

Most businesses partner with us for one (or more) of these goals:

• Brand exposure / awareness (most common starting point)
• Lead capture (email/SMS opt-ins, raffles, QR signups)
• Appointments / consultations / test drives
• Sales events or limited-time offers (move specific inventory)

If you’re not sure what you need yet, that’s okay, tell us what you’re trying to accomplish and we’ll recommend a few options.

A simple way to start (that works well)

If you want something effective without making it complicated, a great starting plan is:

• One visibility piece (like a banner or placement)
• Plus, one monthly in-person moment (like tabling or a small activation)

That combination builds awareness and creates real connections.
