”It was such an incredible time last week having a pop up in Boots with all of my Glamavan biodegradable glitter products.

Such a great opportunity and one I would love to do again. It was such a successful week with customers buying our gift sets for presents and our party sets for their own upcoming celebrations.

It was also great to be able to educate customers and tell them how our glitter is sustainable, we also offered a free face glitter with every purchase and they absolutely loved watching our demos of how easy it is to apply!”

“We had a fabulous experience partnering with GBE who helped us to secure a pop-up stand at JohnLewis Canary Wharf for Father’s Day week this year.

It was a fantastic opportunity to introduce our brand, JustWears, to a wider audience and connect with customers directly. GBE plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between small brands and big retailers.

Throughout the process, they were incredibly supportive, always there to address any questions or concerns we had. We look forward to doing more pop-ups with them in the future.”

“I’m writing to share my experience with you after having my first pop-up at Peter Jones in Sloane Square last week. I had the BEST time! It was so great to have the store position where it was – I wanted my display to attract passers-by – and the feedback was so positive! From customers old, new and locals and the Peter Jones staff, the general feedback was that the display was eye -catching, whilst the earrings were totally unique. THANK YOU! Hugely grateful, and hope this is the start of many pop ups with you.

“My wife and I had a pop-up in John Lewis at the Trafford Centre and it was one of the best experiences we could have asked for for our business. Firstly, the opportunity to have a prime location in one of the biggest shopping centres in the UK is incredible. The footfall we had at John Lewis allowed us to speak to hundreds of people throughout the week. We sold out of all the stock we brought to John Lewis in just five days. But the most valuable part of the experience was meeting and speaking to our target market.

Thank you for helping small businesses like us have an incredible experience that wouldn’t have been possible.”

”Earlier this year I was in a quandary of what to do next in elevating my small brand so when I spied an opportunity to apply have a pop-up at John Lewis, I jumped at the chance.

The response I had from passers by instore to people actually buying my products, there is no feeling like it!

Since then I have had lots of repeat customers, I have been on local radio and featured in local press too. In addition, I secured other pop-ups in the area, the experience has elevating my brand and I have booked to go back in store again next month – with a new collection. Exciting times!”

“Hearing customer views and ideas has given us so much encouragement for the future & meeting our own ‘Dragon.’ Our expectations on sales were met and expectations on customer feedback vastly exceeded. One such customer, visiting from overseas, was so impressed they made us a business offer & we are now in partnership with them.”

“Hosting my brand at the Indie Pop-Up was an incredible experience. The event significantly increased my brand's visibility and allowed me to connect with a broader community. The supportive and well-organized environment made it easy to showcase my products and engage with new customers. I highly recommend the Indie Pop-Up for any brand looking to expand their reach and make meaningful connections.”

“IND!E are such a great team and magically get brands into the high street stores.

IND!E support independents and give us a platform to shine. Thank you.”

“If you’re thinking of doing a Pop Up Shop I would really recommend it. It’s been great for my Brand exposure and has lifted my confidence which is a win for me! Go on, give it a go!”

“he team were amazing to work with – friendly, supportive and genuinely wanting IBBLOTTA to do well over the week.

Part of the challenge of being a small artisan is to be able to get out and meet customers to show the quality of what we do and see our brand. Being in Cheltenham with supportive staff, an active and collaborative social media marketing team and with the unique space in store with the digital screens was an amazing opportunity. We had so many great conversations with new customers. Sales were good despite a quiet week. We will absolutely be looking to book more dates.”
