Work closest to what you are about to describe

A Christmas window across 44 stores, a store opening at Astha, and a standing program for Nike — three different shapes a brief can take, all three in the archive.

Step 1 of 6 — your brand

Let’s start with your brand, and where it lives.

Two answers to begin. Nine in all — a few at a time, so nothing here needs a floor plan.

1. Brand and retail category

2. How many stores, and which cities

Last one — where should the reply go?

This is an unofficial demo, built by JaringLeads. What you send here does not reach VMID®, and demo submissions are not kept.

Nine questions, about three minutes. Reply time: [to be confirmed].

What happens next

Your brief is read against the archive — matched to your category, not filed in an inbox.

  1. 01

    We read it and pull the closest projects from the archive — same category, same store count where we have it.

  2. 02

    We come back with the questions that are missing. Usually store access, exact dates, and who signs off.

  3. 03

    From there it becomes a scope and a schedule you can circulate internally.

What to have ready — and what you do not need

You do not need a concept, a floor plan, or an approved budget to send this. Two answers are enough to start — how many stores, and by when. The Frank & Co Christmas windows started from exactly that: 44 stores, and a date in December.

Helpful if you have it

  • Store list with cities
  • The campaign or opening date
  • Photos of the storefront, taken on a phone
  • Your VM guidelines, if head office issued any

Not required

  • A design concept
  • CAD drawings or a floor plan
  • An approved budget
  • A shortlist of agencies
  • Product photography

Before you send it

Nothing here is binding, and none of it needs you to be in Jakarta.

Is sending this binding in any way?

No. It is a brief, not an agreement. Nothing is committed until there is something signed.

Draft answer — to be confirmed by VMID

Why do you ask about budget?

So the scope comes back matched to what you can actually approve, instead of going back for cuts a week later.

Draft answer — to be confirmed by VMID

Our stores are outside Jakarta. Is that a problem?

No. Outside Jakarta the archive has work in Bali, Surabaya, Bandung, Cirebon, Labuan Bajo, Lombok, Manado, Pontianak, Banda Aceh, Banjarmasin, Lampung, Malang, Semarang, Tangerang and Yogyakarta. Each name opens the archive filtered to it.

Draft answer — to be confirmed by VMID

We are still comparing agencies.

Then send it anyway. The brief is the fastest way to find out whether this is the right fit, in either direction.

Not ready to brief yet?

Then start from your own category. The archive filters to it in two clicks — fashion, jewellery, or whatever you sell.
