A pop-up store: something for you?

Not so long ago, pop-up stores were seen as a trend thing. A hype that would soon pass. But nothing turns out to be less true. The pop-up store is now a success in the marketing toolkit of many sales organizations. Only, where do you find the right space? Ever thought of a sea shipping container? You can set these up entirely according to your wishes and temporarily place them somewhere.

Is the action over? Then you just move the container to another place.

Refresher: what is a pop-up store

In short: a shop. A physical store that opens its doors for a short time. It is often known before the opening when the store will be gone again. The short availability is the distinguishing feature. An ideal way for manufacturers to test new markets relatively cheaply or to get rid of overstock. For seasonal businesses the way to open a physical store in the season. And of course the best way for online shops to experiment with a 'real' store.

Why does that work, such a container pop-up store?

We Dutch are of course bargain hunters. Add 'outlet' somewhere and you are guaranteed a high turnout. Sample sale, same story. This is reason enough, especially in those cases where a pop-up store is used to get rid of the old stock more quickly. But there's more. The pop-up store is known to be only available for a short time. This gives a certain psychological urge to go there. You don't want to miss out on these bargains, right?

Available retail space

During the economic crisis, it was very difficult for real estate entrepreneurs to rent out retail properties for the longer term. To rent out a shop for one or two months made the vacancy a little less expensive. It also turned out to be a good way to keep the barrel in the building in question and to prevent squatting.

Now things are going slightly better in the rental of retail spaces, which means that there is less space for the pop-up store in a retail building. So it's high time to look at alternatives.

The sea container as a pop-up store

It may not be the first thing you think of, but a sea container can be perfectly set up as a temporary store. Gone are the days when you could only get rental toilets in a sea container. Because you can easily move the container, you can place it in any place imaginable. In addition, they are sturdy: outside opening hours the sea container can be closed properly and is sufficiently sturdy to keep most criminals out.

To your specifications

Renting a sea container has many advantages. Apart from the robust exterior, they are easy to connect and stack. After all, that's what they were made for. This way we can adjust the containers completely to your liking. Multiple containers next to or on top of each other for a large space, a single for an intimate space. Play on the robust character of the container or elegantly chic on the inside. Everything is possible. Even opening shutters and a kitchen are possible.
