Merging the physical and the digital experience, this Nike pop-up in Atlanta is a strategic retail insert that capitalized on the immense hype around the 2019 Super Bowl. The temporary location will be running throughout March.
The Nike pop-up is highly compatible and dependent on the brand's SNKRS mobile application. For example, users within 25 miles of the store receive notifications about limited edition drops and in addition, individuals who use the SNKRS app in the shop have the opportunity to access some special deals and sneakers during their visit. The Nike pop-up also boasts a themed vending machine that dispenses pins, smartphone cases and more for free.
By using geofencing tech and seamlessly integrating the digital within the physical, the sports giant creates a mixture that delivers a superior retail experience for shoppers.
