Pitching to a Specific Age Group
A hand-picked store team and manager were chosen to demonstrate a passion for the product to consumers who were new to Conran Shop products. The store was publicised by a range of through the line and digital marketing campaigns, a competition to win £500 to spend in the store and donation pledge to the White Ribbon Alliance, a motherhood charity. The store also offered style surgeries to customers at the weekends.

Keeping the Set-Up Simple
The project has gone well so far, according to Butler, but there are no plans to roll out any other pop-up stores in other locations.

Location is Anything But Random
The Conran Shop benefited from association with store brands favoured by young shoppers it has been targeting.
