There has been a very popular demand for the waves of instagrammable exhibits and experimental retail shops. The goal of pop-up experiences and pop-up shops is to generate media and consumer attention around a new offering.
One of the reasons why the pop-up economy has been such a success is due to increased consumer demand for picture-perfect “experiences”. Their goal is to make something a beautiful experience.
These pop-ups place a heavier degree of focus on retail in order to gain product sales and focus more on guest interaction and entertainment.
What are pop-up stores?
It is a retail location that opens up with the intention of being temporary. Sometimes they are seen to be using creative themes or attractions at their locations to attract customers and offer a unique shopping experience. Also, a great way to increase customers, and sales by providing opportunities for customers to purchase products in person that might just be sold online or in other locations.
It is a great way of marketing that spreads awareness of a company’s brand and products.
Pop-up stores are very valuable to businesses that offer new products and want to reach new customers in areas they might not conduct business.
Pop-ups can allow for a flexible layout, so companies can easily create a unique in-store shopping or usual experience to figure out how to turn their brand into a store.
These pop-ups are tapping into the consumers’ fear of missing out and growing those who visited the opportunity to say “I went there”. They will also feel that these pop-ups feel like they will offer something experiential that they can’t find anywhere else.
Pop-up stores can be very effective in connecting the business with its customers and introducing the products to new potential customers whether it is online or in person. Also, creating a theme that includes decor, activities and music can attract customers if they are just walking through a mall. Usually, they would think “this was never here, let’s check it out”. For example, if a company sells perfume, they might decorate their pop-up with florals or any decor that corresponds with the company or bottle. And designing photo opportunities for customers to take photos using a backdrop with their company or perfume name.
This pop-up experience gains attraction by creating the most instagrammable pop-up and has made its way to Toronto in 2018. This pop-up experience was very successful as it brought many people
