How to plan the perfect pop-up campaign

Pop-up campaigns have become a highly 'pop'-ular way for brands to interact with their consumers in a low cost, unique way. However, to make sure you and your clients get the most out of your pop-up campaign, there are a few things to consider.

Aim - What do you want to gain from your pop-up campaign?

Whatever the goal is, fit the concept of the campaign around this and ensure that you focus on presenting your unique selling point. You want to be able to create a memorable experience for people yet still promote your brand!

Time and location - How long do you want your pop-up campaign running for?

This is important when planning your campaign as if you choose to be around for a short period of time, it gives greater exclusivity, but may mean that you are left with unsold stock! A way to solve this issue is by knowing beforehand roughly how busy the location will be on the days you are planning to go. This is also when the choice of location is significant. You need to be in an area that will maximize your sales! Whether that is in a shopping centre, at a certain event or just on the street!

Ideas and clients - Who are you wanting to attract to your pop-up campaign?

You want to make sure that the campaign builds a buzz for the consumer, so you need to know the type of consumer you want coming to the campaign (new or existing), your ideas and concepts need to engage them in a fun and different way!
