Reebok took decorating their pop up shop to a whole new level when they rented out a space in the CVZ contemporary art gallery in New York.

They also changed out the for sale items every week to feature more exclusive buys. Brand Building – Spreading the New Name with Irresistible Deals
Nestlé’s brand of instant coffee, Nescafé, prompted the company to set up a pop up shop underneath a large tent next to a major sidewalk. The sign outside offered visitors a free cup of coffee. After stepping inside, it was revealed to visitors that the entire thing was furnished with comfy chairs and tables to sit around. Technological Know-How – Introducing the Consumers to New Products
