What is a pop-up shop?

A pop-up shop is the term given to a shop that is intentionally temporary. It’s a shop that pops-up for a short period of time to achieve a particular goal. Both large and small brands are taking advantage of the cost savings of opening a short-term store. 

How would this benefit my business you ask? 

I believe this is the way to go if you're ready to take your business to the next level.

• Reinforce your brand message with authentic engagements - Yes, e-commerce is powerful and amazing but it does not compare to physical face-to-face interaction with your customers. This authenticity can build brand loyalty.

• Market research –  Provides the perfect contact point to help you gather insight to better understand your target customers. This information can be critical in guiding future decisions in your business.

• Improve brand awareness - As a new brand it can take some time for people to know you exist. People are also more likely to remember the experience of trying your product live. 

• Create urgency - customers are often more willing to buy immediately if they feel the shop or the item will only be there for a short period.

• High foot traffic - Generally, higher foot traffic leads to higher revenue. 

The list of Benefits are endless. If you feel like you're ready to take your business on the road with a pop-up shop, Shopify has created a great Quickstart Guide to help you. 

You'll also need Shopify POS Lite to take payments (it's completely free for pop-up shops)
