VODAFONE pop-up-store. Expo 2015: Milan the perfect place.

📅12 Maggio 2015, 14:39

The choice of location with the time are the most important elements for visibility and success of a pop up store.

Milan Expo 2015 represents the period and the perfect place to make a pop up store visible and visited. The event, in fact, attracts visitors both “business” and professionals, curious and tourists, therefore the target consumer. In a unique place and moment so you can reach the international target. Expo 2015, far from Rho, represents an event “de-localized” and diffused involving whole Milan and not only; it offers to those wishing to start with a pop up store, on this occasion, the advantages to find location, far from the usual ways, or economic expensive, a wide dispersion and spread on the period of events and activities, which might confuse or against many opportunities the pop up store can be miss out.

The German philosopher Hegel said that “in the black night all cows are black”, that is not seen. Then, Seth Godin, the theorist of viral marketing invites to create products, events, brands like “purple cow” in order to be original and to be mentioned. A pop up store, during the Expo period, must be noticed for its originality and contents, it must be “experiential”; better than if, in addition to present their products, services, brand, offers something for “business” or “consumer” people and for Milanese people, that in residents and “commuters”, are a considerable number.
