When Andrew, owner of a small family-run dessert shop in Portland, Oregon, noticed his foot traffic dropping sharply after sunset, he knew he needed more than a neon sign to stand out. His cozy storefront, with its pastel-pink awning and handwritten menu, was getting lost in the busy downtown street—until he found the Gobohub 80W Indoor Outdoor Custom Gobo Projector.
Andrew’s goal was simple: to make his shop impossible to ignore after dark. He uploaded his vibrant, colorful dessert logo to Gobohub’s custom gobo lens tool, which turned his playful cupcake-and-rainbow design into a crisp, high-contrast projection. Within days, his new setup arrived, and he mounted the projector above his storefront. As dusk settled, his logo began to glow across the sidewalk and neighboring brick wall, casting a warm, inviting hue that cut through the evening gloom.
“Within the first weekend, people were stopping mid-step to take photos of the logo,” Andrew says. “A group of tourists even walked in asking, ‘Where’s that cupcake sign from?’—and ended up staying for milkshakes and slices of cheesecake.” In just three weeks, his evening sales rose by 38%, with many customers citing the eye-catching projection as their reason for visiting.
· Custom Gobo Lens: Andrew’s colorful logo stayed sharp and vibrant, even under Portland’s frequent evening drizzle, thanks to the high-quality glass gobo lens.
· 80W Power: The projector’s bright output ensured the logo remained visible from across the street, even in well-lit downtown areas.
· Indoor/Outdoor Versatility: IP65 waterproof rating meant Andrew didn’t have to worry about bringing it in during rain, and it worked just as well if he wanted to project the logo inside his shop for a cozy in-store ambiance.
· Easy Setup: He mounted the projector and adjusted the focus in under 15 minutes, no professional help needed.
Andrew now uses the projector to highlight seasonal specials, swapping the logo for “Pumpkin Spice Season” in fall and “Holiday Cookie Pop-Ups” in winter. “It’s not just a light—it’s my best marketing tool after dark,” he says.
For small business owners looking to turn their storefront into a nighttime landmark, the Gobohub 80W Gobo Projector is more than a purchase—it’s an investment in visibility, foot traffic, and sweet success.
