Start by checking suitability and the first step above. For retail check retailer rights, stock, shopper usefulness, safety, production and replenishment. For public or unusual activity check the exact owner and local permissions, qualified operation, accessibility, environmental impact and cleanup before any creative plan. Temporary, removable or surprising does not imply permission. Do not recommend trespass, unsolicited placement, deceptive prizes or unsafe stunts. If browsing is available, verify current official access, fees and relevant local requirements; otherwise identify exactly what needs checking. Do not invent permissions, availability, costs, personal experiences or results. Suggest one small test only if appropriate, including all costs, a useful measure and a stopping rule. Then draft the brief or material needed for that first step. Keep the answer practical. Do not publish, buy, sign contracts, collect personal data, open accounts or contact anyone.
