Alright Pop Ups, is this what we talk about?


Definitely not, not even the pop up windows in your browser.

First I would like to define a pop-up. Pop ups transform physical spaces, they are an experience, its like an advertisement, but more controlled with extensive branding on everything, it gets people/customers excited, while attracting new ones with special gifts, swag, and events like demos and shows. Often there is a push for sharing on social media for additional raffles and prizes, allowing for essentially free promotion amongst their friends and families.

Pops ups can be just an experience of a selection of products, like clothes on a runway when Identity Boutique opened at DOCO, or food pop ups with samplings and discounts on menu items at Kadaiko. OnePlus with a product reveal, or even those pesky Chevy commercials.

Since we are designers, how about a pop up that deals with closely with our own audience, but actually reaches beyond into something everyone overlooks. Pantone presents...


Pantone Cafe

 


Pantone combined smell and taste through their pop-up in Paris and Monaco. Directly derived from the Pantone color swatches, they crafted a menu that provided tastes and smells that relate back to their brand — all the while venturing into a new market that offered more to their audience than what they’re were known for, resulting in a truly unique brand experience.


  

"Using smell within a retail space can increase sales, as it helps connect with consumers on an emotional level while offering a unique in-store experience — this is called scent marketing...Nike saw an 80% increase in intent to purchase by adding scents in their stores. And gas stations that included coffee scents in their shopping areas saw a 300% increase in coffee purchases." - Storefront Magazine
