Showcase and grow your brand within a renowned retailer

Host a Pop-Up Shop

Want to boost brand awareness, increase sales – and get crucial, real-time customer feedback? Our pop-up shops provide a fantastic opportunity to do just that! By setting up a temporary storefront in a renowned retailer (like John Lewis or Boots), you’ll benefit from high footfall and could access a tremendous amount of potential new customers.

Whether you’re an emerging or established business, we’re here to help you design, curate and deliver an experiential version of your brand that’ll leave a lasting impression on store visitors.

If your brand is struggling to compete with the mass-produced products lining the shelves of nearly every store, hosting a pop-up with The Great Brand Exchange could be the game-changer you’re looking for.

In addition to pop-ups, we also organise large-scale, seasonal shopping events in some of the UK’s biggest cities. These include Christmas, New Year and Easter markets and fairs where artisan and boutique brands can book a stall.

Grow your brand From as little as £250+Vat Per Week

Compared to other sales channels like trade shows, online advertising and a permanent retail presence, a pop-up shop offers brilliant value for money and provides you with the chance to meet new customers.

This fantastic opportunity involves paying a space fee, which starts at just £250+VAT per week. The cost varies depending on brand association, footfall levels, store size and location. Retailers also deduct a percentage of sales from pop-up shop transactions.

What Our Brands Say

Three years ago we were delighted to be asked by The Great Brand Exchange to supply the John Lewis partnership through their goods office. Having embarked on the journey their support and professionalism mean that three years later we now supply all our SKU’s and gift sets to John Lewis. This has lead us to the gracefully engineered transition to direct supply into the John Lewis estate.

We really enjoyed our three week pop-up in Cheltenham – it was a very positive experience, both in working with yourselves at GBX and also with John Lewis. From a business perspective we were very pleased with the sales over the period and the opportunity to engage with new customers. For a small but growing brand such as Guinea, the GBX/John Lewis pop-up model is a perfect way to explore customer reaction and appetite for one’s products – and we certainly found it an invaluable experience.

Our Pop-Up Shop in John Lewis Leeds has been a great experience from start to finish. We were very well looked after by both The Great Brand Exchange team and John Lewis & Partners, making the whole process from set-up to daily trading a total pleasure. On top of that we had a great return on investment made up of actual sales and some exciting new contacts. We would thoroughly recommend The Great Brand Exchange to any brands wanting to get exposure in a premium store.
