Partial signage for Sample Size Social is up at 187 West 80th Street, between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues (just off the corner of Amsterdam). This space was last occupied by Perfect Polish Nail & Spa.
Thanks to Amy for the tip and the photo:
Sample Size Social’s website describes itself as “the leading platform for companies to reach ambassadors that love their brands. We are a RaaS (Retail as a Service) business cultivating brand discovery amongst consumers and creating engaging content.”
The company has another location at 153 1/2 Stanton Street on the Lower East Side. It describes the space as a “showroom” which can be reserved as an event space or popup shop which companies can use to “Get discovered by new consumers, retailers and our social influencers.”Sample Size Social’s website also indicates they’ve got quite an army of social media influencers, which brands can sign up to connect with. An “unlimited access” option is listed at $295.
Some of the brands which appear to have used this company’s services include Oxyfresh Nutrition (which offers vitamins and supplements), Hofseth Biocare (which produces “Unrefined Cardio Salmon Oil”), and Fusion CBD Products (which appears to market itself to athletes).
If you’re an influencer, or if you’re aspiring to be one, signing up with Sample Size Social does not appear to be a way to make money. They will, however, let you “trade social media posts for goods and services that you support.”
We’ve reached out to the company for info on an opening date; we’ll provide an update if and when they get back to us.
Highlights from across the park:

Is there someone out there who can translate the first paragraph of this story into English? I suspect that the fact that it’s nearly impossible to figure out what this enterprise does is because it doesn’t do anything worth understanding.

LOL
Front for the equivalent of an old-style bookie joint.
I’m guessing they’ll sneak out without paying the second month’s rent.
