"EVERYTHING WAS WORTH IT."
When asked if the fee was worth it.......
"Yes the fee was fine and it was very stressful balancing the trip with work, and having to drive but it was worth my time. The exposure, the connections made, the people met, the new customers and potential customers. Everything was worth it and as an entrepreneur means the grind is always required no matter what."
- Somi, Made By Somi ( 1st NYC Popup - 2019)
"POC OFFERED MORE VISIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY THAT I'M TRYING TO REACH"

"As a brand, I believe POC offered more visibility to the community that I am trying to reach. As a person, it was great meeting and interacting with other SMB’s so that I can recommend them to my friends."
When asked if she would participate in another event...
"Most definitely."

"i would do it again."
When asked if they would participate again.....
"I would do it again. I think it's good brand exposure and good to meet different people. I'm reluctant to spend all the money to go out of town if people just shop the brands they know and the one's that drew them there like the Columbus Pop Up."
- Tone Bekka (Columbus Popup)
"amazing vendors"
When asked what they thought about the quality of the vendors....
"Amazing vendors. It was very diverse. Some vendors though I felt were just selling things just to sell, I didn't sense that it was a passion for some but rather a quick way to make some cash.. But i could be wrong."
When asked if the time and fee was worth it...
"I think so. My time, yes as I'm exposing my business to others. The fee was ok. Not too bad."
-Natty Nurses (2nd NYC Popup 2019)
"Yes, i would."
When asked if they would participate again.....
"Yes, I would. I think getting to understand the Atlanta market is tricky but I like that you are doing."
- Anonymous (ATL Popup 2019)
"VERY HELPFUL"
When asked what they thought about the POC staff....
"Very helpful. Maybe a little demanding on our first interactions, but definitely pleasant after that. Greeted guests and vendors at the door on the day of. Warm."
