The innovative idea, dreamed up by the two social media-savvy companies saw local women line up for a chance to 'pin and win' what was contained in secret gift boxes. The pop up store quickly gained attention and soon the scene was awash with smartphones and excited women. The ingenious idea saw the brand set up a [pop-up shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whats-your-thing-collage-quest), which was designed exactly like a Pinterest board. Each lady simply had to choose a box that had a sentence that inspired her written on it. The ladies then pinned the sentence to their Pinterest board and won the contents of the box. This social media-savvy marketing technique was an ingenious way for Kotex to engage its customers and connect with them via a new form of social media. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pop-up Pinterest Stores:** Opportunity for brands to create immersive physical experiences inspired by popular online platforms. - **Social Media Marketing Innovation:** Opportunity to engage and connect with customers through unique social media strategies. - **Interactive Customer Experiences:** Opportunity to create interactive and personalized experiences that drive customer engagement. ### Where This Applies - **Marketing and Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for brands to explore new and creative marketing techniques. - **Retail:** Opportunities for retailers to enhance the shopping experience by incorporating social media elements. - **Technology:** Opportunity to develop technology solutions that bridge the gap between online and offline customer interactions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Forward-Thinking Wedding Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anthropologie-weddings-x-pinterest.md) - [Stylish Soda Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poppi-world.md) - [Community Commerce Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiktok-shop-uk.md) - [Immersive Intimate Brand Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knix-popup.md) - [Soft-Pink Cosmetics Pop-Up Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kylie-cosmetics-popup.md) - [Colorful Kitchen Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-kitchen-popup.md) - [Virtual Pop-Up Shop Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-up-shop-app.md) - [Hyper-Targeted Shoppable Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glossier-and-shop.md) - [Digital Cosmetics Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-pop-up.md)
