Pop-Up Shops FAQs

How do I apply to join one of your events?

Please Register Your Interest. This form collects all the information we need to know about you and your business.

You’ve added a new event in a new location, do I need to apply again?
We always look through applications who are interested in hearing about all events, but it doesn’t hurt to register again for a specific event – that way, we know you are definitely interested!
 
How do you choose?
When we announce a new event, we filter through all applications that have registered interest, starting with ones more local to the event. We then curate an invitation list looking at each business’s products and brands, selecting those we think would be a good fit.
 
I’m not local to any events, should I apply?
Yes! We keep around 30% of spaces available for businesses who are not local. It also gives us a good idea of where we should be looking to pop-up next!
 
I’ve registered my interest, when will I be contacted?
We will be in touch with businesses we think would be a good fit for one of our events. Due to the large amount of interest in our events, it is not possible for us to get back to everyone who has registered their interest.
 
What is the criteria?

-Vendors are selected based upon the quality of their items, curation of their shops, photos, & booth presentation.

-Vendors must be shops selling something they have made or have ethically sourced.

-Vendors must have a shop name or “brand.”
 

– We keep 70% of our spots for businesses local to the Pop-Up,  with 30% available to applicants from anywhere in the country.

I don’t have a website, can I still apply?
We encourage all our vendors to have an established brand and have some kind of online presence, so people are able to contact you after the Pop-Up. We want to increase your visibility overall as a brand so having a website is definitely a plus.
 
I don’t have social media, can I still apply?
We encourage all our vendors to have an established brand and have some kind of online presence, so people are able to contact you after the Pop-Up. We want to increase your visibility overall as a brand so having Instagram is definitely a plus.
How much does it cost?
Prices vary depending on the event. We send a full information pack containing prices to applicants we would like to invite to join us.
 
Can I get feedback on my application?
We are only a small team and due to the large number of applicants, we are not able to offer individual feedback to unsuccessful applicants
