Pop-up shops have made a name for themselves in experiential marketing. The tactic has been around for some time but grew increasingly popular during the pandemic. Pop-ups offer brands a tremendous opportunity to connect with consumers in high foot traffic locations and don’t require a huge investment. They are also highly versatile in that brands can take over empty brick-and-mortar spaces or use mobile options like shipping containers or other types of branded vehicles. This helpful guide will walk you through the process of planning a pop-up shop that will deliver results for your brand.

No other form of marketing comes close to achieving what experiential does.
