One of the things that brought
physical stores into a deadlock was the
repetitiveness of the product and service ranges, which give the idea of a situation that is out of touch with the times.
A fresh
solution to this problem is
pop-up stores. The
trend of opening this type of shop is in fact
growing; this not only because of the big news that it brings to a saturated market, but also because choosing a pop-up store brings
many advantages. In
addition to satisfying the now established consumer demand to touch the product, and to have a
personalized experience with it, it also offers the opportunity to attract new customers. This happens thanks to the possibility of
continuously changing product ranges without the cost of having to renew standard spaces and ranges.
A
fitting example of this is the company
SO MAJOR which has developed a
project to open some pop-up stores in selected Westfield shopping centres in
England and in the
United States. These shops will only be open 3 days a month and will
continually change the products on display, depending on the themes and
customer segments, thus
increasing the turnover and variety of consumers. Don’t expect to be able to buy directly in these shops: once the product to be purchased has been chosen, a website access code will be provided to complete the purchase on the online platform.
A perfect combination of online and offline: one of the must-haves in today's retail environment.
