Why are so many pop-up experiences falling flat? It's because the focus has shifted from building meaningful relationships and pushing actual sales to simply selling social currency—the desire to say "I was invited." Stop chasing the invite to events that don't align with your content (fashion creator at a restaurant launch? 🧐). Start collaborating where your value truly lies 🫵🏽🌱. What's your take?
