REQUESTS AND BOOKING

How quickly and how many booking requests I will receive?

Everyday jewelry and watch brands from all over the world are using Pop Up Showcase to find new retailer partners and engage with new consumers. Some retailers will have a waiting list of brands, other will take longer to generate interest.

We can’t guarantee your store will receive interest immediately, but we guarantee an international presence and visibility through our platform.

Will booking happen without my approval?

No. You remain in full control of who rents your showcase. See the brand details first and decide. If you require more information about a brand or enquiry, simply contact us and we will find you the information you need.

Who do I speak to if I need more information about a brand?

Every booking request is assigned to a band manager. This person is in charge of helping you to find the perfect brand. You can request more information about the brand by contacting your band manager or by contacting directly the brand. You decide.

If you prefer a direct contact, your band manager will send you the contact details of the brand.

RENTING PERIOD

What the brand can do in my store?

When it comes to the “permitted to”, the brand can only display its 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 to accept the presence of a brand representative or promotor into my store?

No. You remain in full control of your store and showcase. However, experience shows that clause collaboration between brand and retailer is crucial for success.

We highly recommend to request a sales guide or manual which will be use by your sales team as a training aid. Basically, it is a series of quick responses on customers’ common questions to help your sales team 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, brands must present a clear guideline to display their jewelry or watches (and provide props if necessary).

Accepting a booking request confirm the acceptance of the display guideline.

If you decide to charge for merchandising fee, it must be clearly started in your listing’s Retailer Rules, including the dollar amount.

LEGAL, CONTRACTS

Who is my agreement with?

The agreement is always between you and the brand. Pop Up Showcase is preparing the draft documents for both parties, to review, date and sign, ensuring the process of renting your showcase is hassle-free (or you can use your own legal documents).

How does the agreement work?

The agreement is based on two legal documents:

  • The license agreement.
  • The consignment agreement.

The license agreement is a legal document between you and the brand stating the rental amount, terms and conditions, responsibilities, and dates of your booking. The consignment agreement is legal document for transfer, storage, sale and resale of jewelry and/or watches owned by the brand.

There are standard documents and a draft copy will be attached to your offer, which you can review before signing. If you have a license or consignment agreement that you would prefer to use, please send it to us when listing your showcase.

Only once you countersign the documents is the agreement completed and effective.

PAYMENT, INSURANCE

How does the payment work?

Retailer payment safety and support is incredibly important to us.

Brands are charged in full as soon as the booking request has been accepted by the retailer. As a result, brands cannot require partial deposits to secure showcases in their listings.

To book a space, brands must send the payout within 15 days of the start of the reservation directly to the bank of the retailer. The Brand’s payout takes place for the license charge minus the Pop Up Showcase service fee of 15%.

For example, a showcase listed at $100/day would net the retailer an $85 payout.

Do I need an insurance?

Yes. You need an insurance policy in place for stolen and broken items. The insurance must cover third party and consignment items. Copy of the insurance policy must be sent to the brand before signing the agreement.
