Students:\u00a0<\/strong>Jordan Kilfoy,\u00a0Rahi Tajzadeh,\u00a0Chelsea Heney,\u00a0Jessie Dong<\/p>\n This project\u00a0aims to develop a digital application for visualizing pop-up retail activities worldwide\u00a0through search and mining of social media data.<\/p>\n We plan to utilize the various multimedia content that is available through Web-based sharing and community services (such as Instagram) and develop a customized digital application of pictures and texts of pop-up operations mapping to specific geographic locations on maps of regions and a visualized pop-up event calendar featuring various cities in Canada and major cities in the world.<\/p>\n The application developed will provide dynamic text and visual content to facilitate more active engagement of diverse stakeholders. Specifically, it will provide a global view of pop-up activities around the country in specific product categories, time, geographic locations (city and areas of cities), and what businesses\/pop-up agencies are active in the field. International examples in major cities will provide pop-up retail operation examples for local businesses looking for best practices and inspirations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Developing a Digital Application for Visualizing Pop-up Retail Activities around the World through Social Media Team Members:\u00a0Hong Yu, Sean Sedlezky, Anatoliy Gruzd Students:\u00a0Jordan Kilfoy,\u00a0Rahi Tajzadeh,\u00a0Chelsea Heney,\u00a0Jessie Dong Pop-up shops are temporary stores that \u201cpop up\u201d for a few days or months.

Pop-up shops are temporary stores that \u201cpop up\u201d for a few days or months. Retailers of all sizes have implemented pop-up shops – from global and national retail chains, small independent stores, to ecommerce pure players – and have positioned these initiatives as a marketing & communication tool, as incubators to test the market and\/or new products, or as inventory liquidation venues. Pop-up shops have also been established as a solution for revitalizing communities where significant storefront vacancies exist.<\/p>\n
