Business owners, people thinking of setting up on their own, or individuals who are looking to turn a hobby into their career are being asked to share their thoughts on pop-up spaces: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/7CQ8NJX
Respondents are asked to think about what type of facilities they might need from a pop-up space, and more generally, what business support they would welcome. The feedback gathered in this survey will directly inform a project looking at pop-ups in King’s Lynn that is being led by Discover King’s Lynn, the King’s Lynn BID.
Vicky Etheridge, Manager of Discover King’s Lynn explained: “The research that we’ve carried out through Vision King’s Lynn over the last few years, and from the BID’s own work with businesses in the town, has revealed a real interest in, and appetite for, pop-up spaces.
“We know that pop-ups are a great way of giving small businesses a launch pad to trade and thrive and so we are really keen to look at what we can offer here in King’s Lynn.
“But we need help from businesses and potential traders to tell us what they need, what they think, and what they would like. Whether you’re in business now or thinking of setting up, we want to hear from you – please do have your say.”
The closing date to take part in the survey is 5pm on Sunday 24 October.
Earlier this year, £25M in Town Deal funding was announced for King’s Lynn and seven Town Deal projects have now been approved by the government. Business cases and detailed plans for each of these projects are now being developed, and engagement and consultation – such as this survey – will help to shape the plans.
