Making It Easier to Pop Up, Shop Small & Build Community

Let’s Pop Shop was created with one simple idea: finding your next pop-up opportunity – or the perfect vendors for your event – shouldn’t be so hard.

Local markets, pop-ups, festivals, and community events bring small businesses and shoppers together in a way that online shopping simply can’t. But behind the scenes? Finding those opportunities often means digging through Facebook groups, scrolling social media, following dozens of event organizers, or relying on word of mouth.

We thought there should be a better way.

Meet Let’s Pop Shop

Let’s Pop Shop is a platform designed to connect the people who make local markets happen:

Vendors looking for their next place to pop up.

Event organizers looking for great small businesses to fill their events.

Shoppers looking for markets, pop-ups, and small businesses to discover in their communities.

Instead of those three groups trying to find each other across social media, spreadsheets, Facebook groups, and scattered websites, Let’s Pop Shop is building one place to bring them together.

Built With Small Business in Mind

Let’s Pop Shop grew out of firsthand experience in the small-business world.

I’m Lori, the founder of Let’s Pop Shop. Before building the platform, I started an online clothing boutique and experienced just how much goes into trying to grow a small retail business—from finding products and reaching customers to figuring out where and how to sell in person.

Pop-up events opened up an entirely different way to connect with customers.

But finding the right events wasn’t always easy.

And the more I learned about the market-event world, the more obvious the other side of the problem became: event organizers were working just as hard to find vendors.

Vendors were looking for events.

Organizers were looking for vendors.

And somehow, they were still struggling to find each other.

That’s where the idea for Let’s Pop Shop began.

 

More Than an Event Directory

The goal isn’t simply to create another list of upcoming events.

We’re building tools that make the entire vendor-event experience easier.

Vendors can discover opportunities, keep track of events they’re interested in, connect with organizers, and build a presence that goes beyond a single market.

Organizers can promote their events, reach new vendors, manage applications, communicate with participants, and build relationships with the businesses that make their markets possible.

And as Let’s Pop Shop grows, shoppers will have an easier way to discover what’s happening around them—and the small businesses they’ll find when they get there.

Because Great Markets Start With Great Connections

A successful market is more than tents and tables.

It’s a local maker meeting a new repeat customer.

It’s a growing business having its best sales day yet.

It’s an organizer creating an event people look forward to every year.

It’s someone stumbling across a small business they never would have found otherwise.

Those connections are what make markets special.

We just want to make them easier to find.
