    Retail Pop-Up Stand in Office Lobbies - Who to Contact??

    Practical advice is when you offer a better alternative with evidence supporting it, not simply discouraging from taking the chosen action because it *might* not be the most effective way. You make it sound like it's very hard to try this out, when in fact a pop-up table will probably cost me...

    I don't know, but I believe in trying things out rather than only seeing drawbacks and not doing anything.

    Retail Pop-Up Stand in Office Lobbies - Who to Contact??

    Internet, mobile, payment and security won't be a problem. Power probably not available but it's a small problem.

    Retail Pop-Up Stand in Office Lobbies - Who to Contact??

    Yes, that's my line of thought, after having worked in finance as well! I'm doing fashion, consumer goods and electronics. Started sending LinkedIn invites to anyone that sounds like a Facilities Manager but no responses so far. Haven't thought about the discount scheme, I'll give that a shot!

    Retail Pop-Up Stand in Office Lobbies - Who to Contact??

    Oh, I'm more optimistic about office lobbies because I see one pop-up in my employer's office almost every week. But I find the products there incredibly boring and commoditized :)

    Retail Pop-Up Stand in Office Lobbies - Who to Contact??

    Thanks, will give it a shot! Pop-up shops in areas with good footfall are super expensive. I also have a more unique concept so it's hard to get people through the door, and incredibly difficult to draw people in using online channels. With office lobbies, set-up costs are very low and you...

    Retail Pop-Up Stand in Office Lobbies - Who to Contact??

    I have a retail startup and I want to set up a stand for a day or two in an office lobby to sell my products. I applied for spaces on The Storefront (it's a website, can't post the link) but it's taking a while to get a response so I figured I should try reaching out directly to the right...

    Template for Sample Product Loan Agreement

    Honestly no, and I'm someone who always worries about risks. We're a brand new startup and the suppliers know that.

    What kind of insurance is too expensive?

    That's the case with low-risk policies lines like personal auto or health insurance. With higher-risk ones like cyber insurance there's a lot more focus on underwriting profitability.

    What kind of insurance is too expensive?

    I have two ways in mind: 1) A model that assesses risk more accurately. 2) Offering services to the customer that reduce its risk profile. For example, you could offer free cybersecurity assessments to make customers more aware of the most relevant attack vectors for them, which in term will...
