POPSPOT
Popspot, as the name suggests is an app that helps users in finding pop-ups nearest to them.
WHAT ARE POP-UPS?
Pop-ups are temporary businesses that show up at designated venues for a limited period of time. There are typically no promotional activities for Pop-ups. At the moment, the best way to find them is through word-of-mouth or through sheer serendipity!
POPSPOT OBJECTIVE
Popspot hopes to consolidate all the information users need about existing pop-ups in one place so that these businesses can become more accessible to a larger section of the community.
