什么是pop-up retail

pop-up retail似乎是一个很新的词汇,没有看到什么公认的准确翻译,2004年在Trend Watching上有一篇以该词为标题的文章Pop-UP Retail,2011年9月该网站上发布了一篇标题为Retail Renaissance的中文版文章,文章将Pop-Up Retail翻译成临时贩售Pop-Up Stores翻译成流动商店,这篇文章主要列举一些零售新形势,说明即使传统零售业面临着严重的、或者说是由自身原因造成的种种挑战(譬如乏味的连锁店模式!电子商务!环境的影响!金融危机!人口结构!反消费主义!),但是大多数人仍然享受现实世界中的购物体验,而且这种行为将会持续下去。事实上,我们将会看到的不是RETAIL RUIN(零售的颓败),而是正在产生的RETAIL RENAISSANCE (零售复兴),其中包括Pop-Up Retail。

在维基百科上有一个专门的词条Pop-up Retail,是这样说的

   Pop-up retail, also known as pop-up store (pop-up shop in the UK) or flash retailing, is a trend of 
   opening short-term sales spaces in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.
   A pop-up retail space is a venue that is temporary — the space could be a sample sale one day and 
   host a private cocktail party the next evening. The trend involves “popping-up” one day, then 
   disappearing anywhere from one day to several weeks later. These shops, while small and temporary, 
   can build up interest by consumer exposure. Pop-up retail allows a company to create a unique 
   environment that engages their customers, as well as generates a feeling of relevance and 
   interactivity. They are often used by marketers for seasonal items such as Halloween costumes and 
   decorations, Christmas gifts and Christmas trees, or fireworks.
   The term is often applied to shops offering items of apparel, where the shop is intended less to 
   transact profitable sales than to promote demand for the goods and thereby produce profitable 
   business at other locations, or in modes other than walk-in stores.
