POP-UP CHALLENGES/ LESSONS LEARNED
• South side versus north side
• Tenants need start-up capital
• Cross-marketing is the key to success
• Powerful window displays integral
• 1 tenant: 1 storefront
• 1 month is too short for businesses who are seriously testing the market
![Page 44: March 27 Pop up Bonanza Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042816/55975af11a28ab480e8b456d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
BIG LEARNING:
High # of pop-up shops
More media
attention
High foot traffic
More long-term
rentals
Fewer empty
storefronts

THE VISION: Create a Pop-up Bonanza
WHAT: 8-15 pop-up shops at once
WHEN: launch in June 2013
WHY: make Danforth East a destination
![Page 46: March 27 Pop up Bonanza Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042816/55975af11a28ab480e8b456d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
6 month rolling leases Tenants cover utilitiesTenants stay rent-free until a long-term renter is found
THE MODELS
6 month rolling leases Tenants cover utilitiesEach month, tenants increase their
rental payments by increments until they are paying full rent
Tenants apply for 2 week to 1 month pop-ups
Each tenant pays $250 per 2 weeks – 1 month to contribute
to rent and utilities
Landlords give their spaces until a long-term renter arrives
