While there is no one-size-fits-all answer to what time of year is best for a pop up shop, there are some key factors to consider.
Spring and Fall are often the most popular seasons for pop up shops, as it coincides with important events elsewhere in the city as well as the beautiful weather during this time of year.
The extra foot traffic of people out and about during the summer months can be particularly helpful for businesses seeking to increase their visibility. Additionally, businesses may be able to capitalize on seasonal product offerings.
The winter holiday season is also a great time for Pop Up shops due to the increased foot traffic and the number of people looking to do their shopping. During the fall months, the weather is relatively mild and vacationers are still out and about, so businesses can take advantage of the hustle and bustle of the season.
The winter months tend to be off-peak, which can offer some benefits for Pop Up shops. During this time, businesses may be able to capitalize on lower rental prices and winter-themed products or offer promotions and discounts to draw in customers. Additionally, people are more likely to stay indoors, meaning they may have more time to shop. We offer lower pricing during off-peak seasons!
