✨ A Note From Me

I've been doing pop-ups for 9 years, and my setup has changed many times along the way.

I created this guide to share the things I've learned through experience—from choosing equipment and arranging my booth to figuring out how much inventory to bring and how to make checkout easier.

You don't need a perfect booth or every piece of equipment to get started. Start with what you have, learn from every event, and build your setup as your business grows.

I hope this guide helps you feel more prepared, save time, avoid unnecessary purchases, and feel confident walking into your next pop-up. ♡
