Defining Pop-Ups
• Short-term retail operations which “pop up” one day and are gone the next
• Term “pop-up” is trendy, but concept is not new• Benefit to retailers: in a down market, sellers can take advantage
of lower rents and shorter leases to generate sales and drive attention to certain properties
• Popular types: Food and beverage Art gallery/exhibition Pop up yoga/fitness Jewelry and apparel Crafts Seasonal items

Further Recs from Revolve Detroit
Recommendations from Michael Forsyth – DEGC
•Make connections – building owners + entrepreneurs•Partnerships are key to success – local community orgs and others may have insider info on what the area wants and needs•Leverage resources to simplify the process –
“At REVOLVE, we’ve developed some key tools to accelerate the pop-up process. For example, we help file temporary food licenses with the health department for our pop-ups. The simple two week permit is half off if it’s filed by a non-profit ($125 non-profit, $250 for-profit), which is one more reason to team up with REVOLVE or your local CDC. We customized a “license agreement,” kindly provided from Pittsburgh’s pop-up program, as a substitute for a lease. It’s a simple agreement between building owners, pop-up tenants and REVOLVE. Next year we’ll be releasing a guide with all the permits, checklists and resources entrepreneurs need in one place.”

Further Recs from Model D for EntrepreneursTips from Claire Nelson – Model D
•Be conservative about your expectations.
•Cluster, cluster, cluster. West Village is a great example. Not one pop-up store/event on its own, but a few at one time. Give people multiple reasons to go to a new place! This, of course, takes extra work/time for collaboration & coordination between multiple retailers/events.
•It's all about your social network & appetite for heavy social media activity. That first blast of editorial love from the local papers will get you your first big wave -- but maintaining that, even for a short burst of a few weeks or months, is where you'll have to get creative.
