Pop-up & Market
A Pop-up & Market is a Spotted category for temporary stores, weekly bazaars, pop-up stalls, and periodic exhibitions. It captures commerce that appears and disappears — events that are easy to miss unless someone who was there shares them.
Pop-ups and markets are inherently time-bound: the weekend bazaar at the community ground, the artisan market that runs for one month, the brand pop-up in the mall corridor. These events rely on physical proximity and word of mouth for discovery — and most of the people who would want to attend never hear about them in time.
Spotted is a natural fit for pop-up discovery. A user who walks past an active market can post it immediately, reaching the locality community while the event is still open. Unlike a social media post that may be seen by people across the country, a Spotted post is anchored to the location and visible primarily to people nearby who could actually attend.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a Pop-up & Market?
Any temporary retail or commerce event: weekend bazaars, artisan markets, brand pop-ups, seasonal stalls, garage sales, community exhibitions, and similar events that operate for a limited time.
Can I post a Pop-up & Market if it is only on for one day?
Yes. Same-day posts are especially valuable for pop-ups — they reach nearby users while the event is still active.
