Opportunity for Park Forest small businesses to generate buzz and reach new customers
Park Forest, Illinois—(ENEWSPF)—The park forest village and the Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS® are sponsoring five small business pop-up shops throughout town.
Retailers, vendors and foodies can apply to participate in a 22-day pop-up running from June 15 to July 6. The goal is for these pop-up stores to provide new and innovative ways for local business owners to share their products with consumers.
The pop-up event was made possible, in part, by the Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS®. They received a mega grant from the National Association of REALTORS®. The organization will provide catering, photography, sound, signage and more amenities.
Pop-up shops highlight small businesses, the heart of communities
“As entrepreneurs, our Mainstreet REALTOR® members know that small businesses are the heart of our communities. We are excited to support the opportunity for more local businesses to connect with their neighbors. Here they can promote their products and services and hopefully gain new clients,” said John Gormley, CEO of Mainstreet REALTORS®.
Pop-up stores allow customers to interact directly with a company’s product and brand. This creates a connection that online platforms often can’t replicate. They require little initial investment, making them an excellent testing ground. A successful popup may indicate that a business is a candidate for expansion into physical retail.
