Company mission
To create a world where anyone with an idea can find space to make it happen.
Our take
Over the past few years, pop-up shops have become an increasingly familiar sight on our high streets. For smaller brands, the rise of Instagram and social media has made it easier than ever to build an audience and get noticed, while larger brands are constantly looking for new and more engaging ways to connect with their customers.
So, Appear Here has capitalised on this trend, serving as one of the first companies to offer ultra-short-term leases on commercial spaces, giving brands of all sizes the opportunity to step away from the traditional retail model and instead, meet customers in more unexpected, creative ways.
For some, the growing appetite for short-term retail could point to the future of the high-street, creating more flexible, dynamic and exciting shopping experience that feels better suited for the next generation of shoppers. And looking at the growing popularity of pop-ups, it certainly seems likely the high street is heading in that direction.
