In modern society, consumer spending tendencies have more meaning in the symbolic value of a product than in the natural physical utility of fashion products. As more and more consumers are purchasing expensive fashion products with spare funds, interest in luxury goods is increasing, especially among young age groups. As a result, the size of the Resell market is expanding further as the demand for limited edition and value consumption for oneself increases. These changes are expressing not only selling products but also spaces that satisfiy experiences and emotions, and are emerging as areas that express various identities such as flagship stores, pop-up stores, and multi-shops. As a result, pop-up stores were placed with various concepts to solve the limits of delivering various spatial experiences that consumers are able to gain from offline resell stores. However, most of the current offline luxury resell stores are exhibitonal space to promote their platform and this is the reason why there are not enough experience spaces at the stores for consumers.
As the needs for such luxury offline resell stores is emerging, the research on the usability of pop-up stores in luxury offline resell stores is required.
Accordingly, this study was conducted to analyze the operation conditions and problems of recent pop-up stores and also to propose the new experiential pop-up space production through various cases based on understanding the characteristics and the elements of experience space in luxury resell pop-up stores.
In Chapter 2, theoretical considerations were made through prior research on the resell platforms and pop-up stores. Based on this analysis of the study, we learned that the characteristics and the experiential elements complement of pop-up store each other, and derived eight pop-up store characteristics and five floating experience elements.
In Chapter 3, As the result of analyzing four offline pop-up stores of domestic luxury resell platforms, fresh stimulation and special feelings from the space of brand should be delivered to consumers to create meaningful consumption value, and then the space providing experience to consumers is required. According to the comprehensive analysis, the results were derived on the need for experience, event and experience space elements of pop-up stores, Heritage Zone, Product Experience Zone, Product Exhibition Zone, Event Zone, and Video Promotion Zone.
In Chapter 4, we proposed a design of experiential pop-up store with five event zones that stimulates customers' emotions by highlighting experiences and image of brand that allows consumers to experience special moments through direct brand experiencing event.
Therefore, this study tried to demonstrate the importance of the luxury resell platform offline store by designing an experiential pop-up store away from the resell platform kream collaboration exhibition type pop-up store format. We would like to provide a differentiated spatial experience through specific designs by presenting Seongsu-dong pop-up store space production which has a high preference for MZ generation’s cultural spaces.
In conclusion, if the space containing customer experience elements is properly allocated and applied, it will have a great influence on building competitiveness by providing reasonable consumption information and service satisfaction to customers with high price burdens.
