How we get to these numbers

The math, in full

Unlock your results to see the full math behind them.

These figures are an estimate, not a quote. Lift and capture rates are drawn from post-season counts on our own installs and will vary with your streetscape, weather, merchant mix and event programming. Program cost is modelled from the spend figures you entered; your actual lease or purchase price depends on scope, pole count, structures and install access. Nothing here constitutes a financial projection or a commitment of price — your rep will confirm every number before you take it to a board.

Sources & benchmarks

Published figures describe retail behaviour generally, not the effect of seasonal décor. The visit-lift percentages are HOD’s own modelled ranges and are not drawn from these sources.

After the season

Measure your own lift

November and December always look good — that is the shopping season, not the décor. These six steps separate the two, so next year you bring your own numbers instead of ours.
