Industry Innovators: C and C Pop-Up Shop and PopUps Across America

C and C Pop-Up Shop sells merchandise that is as unique and stylish as its founders, Candy Olsen and Courtney Wagner. The best friends and Brooklyn natives combine practicality with glamour by “upcycling” vintage clothing and items. The fashionable duo travels across the nation, scouring local tradeshows, flea markets and storage lockers for hidden gems to add to their extensive collection. C and C gained national notoriety when Olsen and Wagner appeared on A&E’s Storage Wars: New York. Soon after, the ladies were featured in Southeastern Antiquing and Collecting Magazine, attesting to their success in the pop-up industry. The next step in growing the C and C brand was to make its products accessible to consumers everywhere. That next step was PopUps Across America.

Recently launched by PopUp Republic, PopUps Across America is the new online platform that connects C and C, along with other brands, to its massive consumer base. PopUps Across America is the only online store exclusively for pop-ups, meaning it is structured to accentuate the opportunities and minimize the constraints pop-up vendors encounter. The concept behind this online marketplace is to expand the reach of pop-up vendors, such as C and C, from around the corner to consumers nationwide. For the consumer, PopUps Across America is a channel to exclusive merchandise at affordable prices. The online store features merchandise that is only available throughout the physical duration of the brick-and-mortar pop-up store or truck. In order to maximize efficiency and profits, PopUps Across America promotes products through its website, blogs, newsletters, social media posts, press releases and more. The PopUp Republic network includes over 20,000 individuals and its website generates over 1,000,000 impressions per month, and now this vast network is available to vendors. Pop-ups like C and C are the future of retail, and PopUps Across America is the future of the pop-up industry.
