Tuesday, 8 February saw The Pop Up Shop Agents Founder & Principal Agent, Charley Crocker head up to Birmingham’s NEC with three of our former pop up shop sellers to take to the stage as a guest speaker at Spring Fair.
Spring Fair is a highlight in the annual retail calendar as a vibrant marketplace for wholesale homes, gifts and fashion. As the definitive “shop for shops”, Spring Fair is held across four days, designed around three key buying destinations – Home, Gift and Moda Fashion.
Charley, who was invited to attend to speak about The Power of Pop-Ups, took three pop up shop sellers from our previous Pop Up Horsham store which included Karina Berry Creator of Plane Jane, Kim Billings, Founder of KimmyB@ and Samantha Morgan-Bertish, Author and Director of Zuma the dog.
The Pop Up Shop Agents provide a wide range of opportunities for small businesses to promote their products and services and Spring Fair, which focuses on inspiration and trends is a great platform for small businesses to meet and showcase their businesses to larger retailers.
