Opening the December 1st Advent Calendar 🎄 📆 RETHINK: 2nd hand shops. We've come a long way from some dodgy warehouse outlets into elegant shops side by side with the mainstream stores selling virgin material manufactured products. I dare to argue that, opening of Relove 2nd hand Shop and Café - The First Ever Globally - outlet at #helsinkiairport, #finland, is a testament of the change. Even there are few similar #shop-in-shop opened into high-end department stores and shopping malls, but now - at an airport - how cool is that.  For me, this is not just as an 2nd hand outlet with a very international customer base, but an ambassador for the new business models to emerge in selling 2nd round out products as equals to the mainstream linear products and businesses. Also, Relove manifests creative thinking in combining elements we know already in a different manner and making these ideas fly! Congratulations to the whole team! www.relove.fi #circulareconomy #adventcalendar #rethink #reuse #repurpose #repair #recycle #5R #operatingmodel #businessmodel #newbusiness #businesstransformation #changemanagement #circulardottoressa #secondhand

Pop-Up Shops are temporary retail spaces that "pop up" in unexpected locations for a limited time, typically ranging from a few days to a few weeks. They can be found in vacant storefronts, event spaces, or even inside other retail stores. The charm of a Pop-Up Shop lies in its exclusivity and the sense of urgency it creates among consumers.

Pop-up retail, also known as pop-up store (pop-up shop in the UK, Australia and Ireland) or flash retailing, is a trend of opening short-term sales spaces that last for days to weeks before closing down, often to catch onto a fad or scheduled event. Marmite pop-up shop in London The Beatles double-decker pop-up shop in New York City HBO Game of Thrones container pop-up in Los Angeles The modern trend of pop-up retail started in Los Angeles in the late 1990s, and went on to become used internationally, being particularly popular in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. Pop-up retail was an increasing factor during the retail apocalypse of the 2010s, including seasonal Halloween retailers who operate stores in vacant spaces during the season. In 2018 the pop-up industry was estimated to be worth $50 billion.[1] there you have it #VisualMerchandising #Future #Pop-upShops #High-endRetail #DigitalMarketing #Management #Markets.

MAKE A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION – AND THE CUSTOMERS WILL REMEMBER YOU   I have opened 100+ stores in my retail years. Store openings are always exciting, full of pressure, a little bit despair and finally fulfilment, when store is opened. Not all openings have succeeded although there has been lots of skill and motivation on the work. One thing though I have learned: the successful store opening is really important. If you have a great grand opening, it will have a long-lasting affect. When the customers have a good grand opening experience, they have a positive image of the store. Good grand opening also has a huge impact on store staff. The team spirit will be strong, and it carries the staff for a long period.   In creating the first impression in new store the details really matter. When the store is clean, well-stocked, nicely displayed, well-lit and have a pleasant atmosphere, it will be great for the store. Important part of the nice atmosphere is the staff behavior and attitude. Smiling, happy staff builds trust. When you have a great grand opening, it will start a circle of good. Customers are happy and thus also staff is happy.   I visited a new supermarket in a new mall in the city of Vantaa. This new supermarket is part of the S-group, the format is S-market. I was impressed in many ways: the entrance was impressive and first display superb and timely – note the Halloween pumpkins. The lighting in the store was interesting, quite modest on the aisles, but really effective on displays. The whole ambience gave a high-quality image, which should be so since the store was brand new. Staff was smiling and welcoming customers in the new store. It will be interesting to visit this place after few months and see, if they have maintained the high standards.   Building a new store is a big investment. Making the investment successful secures the planned payback. You can only open new store once. If the grand opening fails, it will take a long time to turn the store to right direction. The higher standards you have, the better you motivate and inspire your staff the better frame you have for the successful opening. Only way to learn how to make a great grand opening is to make a lot of grand openings. #grandopening #impresscustomers #retailisdetail #openingnewstore #retailmarketing #retailstandards

Very interesting and insightful article! I’m pleased to read “that two of [Macy’s] major competitors — Kohl’s and JC Penney — have recently discovered that less housewares does not translate into better business.”

Scoop: Amid rebranding effort by owners, two more #luxury brands are OUT at the ex-Westfield mall, which now goes by Emporium Centre San Francisco. The mall formerly known as Westfield San Francisco Centre is wisely moving to a new name celebrating the beautiful ‘bones’ of the property…both physically and historically. In the meantime, more tenants drop like flies. These two high-end French cosmetics brands are the latest — and they have another interesting trait in common w/r/t #SanFrancisco. Before you cry “#doomloop” note that in SEPHORA’s case, they’re still hanging onto their store literally across the street at the cable car turnaround, and in #BXP’s Embarcadero Center (for now).

Spirit Halloween Store is creeping into vacant big-box space left behind by retailers Bed Bath & Beyond, Kmart, Sears, Tuesday Morning and more.The New Jersey-based company said it plans to pop up in 1,500 locations in advance of Halloween this year, up from the 1,450 stores it debuted in 2022.Spirit has historically negotiated temporary, three-month leases between 5K SF and 50K SF, a scenario that has proved beneficial for landlords looking for interim revenue while they locate a permanent tenant. Occasion-based pop-up stores generate excitement by tapping into the “fear-of-missing-out” mentality. Seasonal tenants require a much smaller investment than a permanent store, and companies have been known to pay one lump sum check for the entire three months they are there.The National Retail Federation predicted a record $10.6B would be spent on Halloween last year. The category has grown year-over-year, driven by pop-ups concepts like Spirit as well as by permanent retailers, including Party City, Walmart and Target.
