What is the Portashop trend?

Portashop: Pop-up shops combine the convenience of online shopping with the tangible, sensory retail experience consumers crave. Smart companies are using pop-up shops as a means of testing out new lines, adding novelty to their product and ultimately, ensuring business by going straight to where the consumer is. Essentially, mobile stores are free to relocate as they please, disarming the age-old belief that location is everything.
