Pop-up shops are increasingly being seen in shopping centers, employed as a temporary measure by many retailers to attract consumers to otherwise empty spaces. They provide consumers with something exclusive, surprising and exciting; keeping a venue appealing, while the brand gets exposure to create an impact and communicate something specific to a large audience. They are also a useful tool for marketing and branding purposes, particularly for online retailers who are looking for a physical presence.
For the property manager
For the property owner or manager a pop-up can generate a new revenue stream while creating higher footfall and a better customer experience by voiding empty locations within the shopping center. By rotating brands a property manager can create more interest for the consumer and a more desirable location in which to shop.
Planned spontaneity provides a refreshing experience for the consumer and improves a venue’s appeal.
For the retailer
Pop-up retail should be incorporated in every existing and new marketing and advertising strategy as a nontraditional marketing solution. It can incorporate experiential and buzz marketing, contests, events and consumer PR, which offer compelling commercial and communication opportunities for brands to interact and engage with consumers in new ways.
A successful pop-up should combine a great location and retail concept with a memorable experience for the customer. Pop-ups can help increase brand awareness, while at the same time test the ground for something more permanent in a new location, environment or even a new country.
