PRICE

The price set on a showcase is all inclusive. All of our listing prices show the total booking amount, including future Pop Up Showcase’s fee.

Please keep in minds that you need to add to the booking rate, a commission on sales for the store owner. This commission rate is negotiable directly between the parties and the booking rate is often considered as a minimum guarantee.

Is there room for negotiation on the price?

For the majority of our showcases, retailers will not negotiate on the booking rate but will be more flexible regarding the commission rate.

When you make an enquiry, it’s the first step in the negotiation.

RENTING PERIOD

What can I do in the store?

When it comes to the “permitted to”, the brand can only display her jewelry or watch pieces in the showcase during the renting period. All other permissions such as:

– presence of a brand representative or promotor in the store,

– creation by the brand of a private event, sales event or press event in the store,

must be clearly specified and accepted beforehand by the retailer.

Do I have the right to stay in the store during the renting period?

No, brand representative or promotor are not allowed during the renting period, except if the retailer accepts it. Retailer remains in full control of its store and showcase.

However, experience shows that clause collaboration between brand and retailer is crucial for success. We highly recommend to prepare a sales guide or manual which will be use by the retailer sales team as a training aid. Basically, it is a series of quick responses on customers’ common questions to help retailer convert sales more effectively.

Who decide of the visual merchandising?

Great visual merchandising is essential to grab a customer’s attention and brands know what works for their collections. Based on the size of the showcase, you must present a clear guideline to display your jewelry or watches (and provide props if necessary).

The acceptance of a booking request confirms the acceptance of the display guideline.

What happens if I want to stay longer?

If you are happy and the retailer accepts to extend your booking period, you need to notify the additional booking period and rate in an extension booking form. The extension booking form can be signed here.

When can I have access to the showcase to set up?

The showcase set-up can be done directly by the retailer or the brand owner depending of the terms agreed between the parties. Usually the set-up is scheduled the day before the launch of the pop-up or the day of the launch, just before the opening of the store.

It is the retailer’s responsibility to ensure that everything is in place and ready for kick-off.
