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.
