Australian businesses embrace pop-ups for omnichannel success

It offers businesses a low-cost way to maintain a physical presence without the expenses of traditional stores.

Businesses in Australia are increasingly adopting the pop-up trend as a crucial element in achieving omnichannel success.

According to the 2024 Inside Australian Online Shopping report, about 60% of businesses experienced improved customer engagement with an omnichannel approach. 

The report said that 90% of businesses ranging from small-scale online ventures to larger enterprises are considering establishing a physical presence in the next two years. However, given rising rental costs, exploring lower-cost alternatives becomes imperative to them.
