The opportunity:
Tuesday 28 Nov – Sunday 3 Dec 2023
This Christmas, we are looking to curate a group exhibition showcasing the brand stories and creations of inspirational multi-faceted women, who have successfully monetized their passions by leveraging creativity in business demonstrating the power of thinking differently, pursuing non-traditional paths, and turning their ideas into thriving ventures.
We would like to invite women creatives, business owners and independent brands whose backgrounds and journeys reflect this idea, to apply to exhibit their products and services with us. We are looking to share this unique opportunity with individuals producing lifestyle, fashion, jewellery, beauty products, accessories, home decor and more. If you have a high-quality product range, with eye catching presentation and packaging, with good social media presence and preferably an established client base, please apply as we would like to hear from you.
Spaces:
We have 12 spaces to offer every day for the duration of the show so we have 72 opportunities in total through the week. We advise a 6 day booking to make the most of this unique business opportunity and added benefits we can offer,* however spaces will also be available to book daily.
Each stand will include either
2 shelves (110x40 cm each) and 1 table (100x50 cm)
or
3 shelves (110x40 cm each)
Hanging rail modules are also available for clothing and can be added to the stand on request
Each stand has a digital screen behind it providing a dynamic backdrop which has proved very effective in the past to bring the space to life. Please see images of a similar event we hosted last year for inspiration here or on instagram @bydesigncollectiveuk
Please note stand prices will be made available once applications are received

Event Promotion - Getting the word out:
We will be promoting the event through targeted online social media campaigns as well as print advertising. We will be running various value added events through the week which will also generate added footfall. The retail pop-up will run simultaneously with our Art Exhibition in the gallery space on the lower floor. Having multiple events running simultaneously will help generate cross promotion and boost attendance. As this is a collaborative business opportunity, we will require participating businesses to be as proactive with promoting the event as we will be.
If we are oversubscribed, brands with a good social media presence, influencer reach and evidence of strong promotional campaigns will be given priority when places are offered. Even though the pop-up is located on one of the busiest streets in the country, we cannot rely on passing footfall alone.
What makes this pop-up different from others is that we as organisers are also small business owners and will be participating in the event ourselves therefore, we will be putting in a 100% to market the event and would expect your help and enthusiasm in doing so too.
We may, on occasion, take photos and videos of the Event for promotional and advertising purposes. If you do not wish to be included in any photos or video you must make us specifically aware of this in writing prior to the Event.
