Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sodexo.com\/\" class=\"ek-link\"><strong>Sodexo<\/strong><\/a>: the brand used its pop-up store as a commercial showroom to introduce its new signature catering product to future customers.

For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/fondis.com\/label-emotion-gaz\/\" class=\"ek-link\">L&#8217;Emotion GAZ<\/a>, gas and stove manufacturers, invited Parisians into its interior design pop-up store to promote their products and have customers envision them in their home.

It&#8217;s time to break the image of the traditional showroom by offering buyers a new image of this presentation space, with a short-term upgrade! Example: Knotel. This start-up that designs, builds and operates personalized workspaces for young brands, launched a showroom to present its product &#8216;Agile HQ&#8217;. Using a pop-up showroom as a way for potential customers to discover flexible office spaces, Knotel launched an interactive and engaging space in NoHo, NYC.
