Burn Boutique's Very First Pop up Shop Overview & Video
Since opening my boutique I had always hoped to hold a real pop up shop by leasing out a vacant store front for the weekend and hosting my customers in a temporary store. After we moved home to New Mexico I knew this was the time to give it a try.
After we arrived I went on the hunt for a vacant space someone was willing to lease to me, some were willing, while some were not into the short term lease. I found a spot I liked it a well populated shopping center that they were willing to lease me on a temporary basis.
From there it was just a whirlwind of getting the word out to customers and locals, making sure I had everything I needed and then setting up. I had the space from Wed-Sun so I spent Wednesday & Thursday setting up and welcomed customer on Thursday evening, then again all day Friday and Saturday.
The whole experience was such a blast, I absolutely loved having the customers come to me and getting to interact and chat with them in person. Also so many people from my life stopped in to show their support and it meant the world!!
My plan was to do another pop up shortly following this one for the holiday but I realized I wasn't prepared to host another so soon. My hope is to do another in the spring, my ideal situation would be to host it the next time around with another (or several) other small businesses in my area with items that would compliment mine.
