EH9 POP UP
In March 2022 we were invited along to our first in-person pop-up shop by EH9 | ESPRESSO. We had been in talks before being invited for our collaboration so we were able to build up our relationship and bounce ideas off of each other. The pop-up was to help generate revenue to be donated to the ongoing Ukraine crisis, with all coffee sales being donated from the event, so we wanted to play our part. Alongside us, we also had Sakura and All Good to help attract a good crowd, and this was achieved. Within the first 10-20 minutes the shop was packed and we were selling a lot of products and more importantly, were able to put faces to customers that we had come to know as well as meeting a lot of new people which is always nice.
The overall experience was very enjoyable and we learned a lot during the pop-up which only helped with motivation. The nerves were definitely noticeable before doors opened, but this quickly faded after the first few encounters with you. Since our initial pop-up, we have had an additional face-to-face stall at EH9, this one is just as enjoyable and more refined with the system. That being said, with the new year we would like to expand these encounters, so keep an eye on socials for any upcoming stalls and pop-ups.
