Brands use physical pop-up launches to build energy, momentum and value around new experiences

After months of online communications with customers, brands are creating pop-ups to engage new and existing customers offline, leveraging FOMO to entice them back to physical locations and to keep rental costs low.

In New York, sustainable fashion brand Bobblehaus has launched a community focused interactive pop-up with in-store events and Louis Vuitton has opened an eye-catching, all-yellow pop-up for the launch of its LV2 fashion collection. In London, Selfridges hosts an Oxfam pop-up in its Oxford St flagship for its #SecondHandSeptember brand campaign, to encourage customers to purchase second hand fashion.
