Once thought to be a venue for cash-strapped start-ups and starving artists, “pop-up shops” are becoming an accepted retail phenomenon. Pop-ups are an effective means of generating buzz, building brand awareness, testing new products and driving excitement and sales for established retailers and entrepreneurs alike. **There is an enormous opportunity for print in this new retail scene!**
The trend to open temporary retail spaces in carts, abandoned storefronts, bars, and sidewalks, and has now spread worldwide and is an estimated $50-billion industry. Gap transformed a school bus with a 60’s-themed clothing line using the bus as a traveling store, and Kanye West opened his Life of Pablo merch pop-ups around the world making an astounding $1 million in two days.
