About Negotiables

Where community meets commerce — book measurable pop-ups and give 1% back to the street.

Local-first pop-up & activation platform with measurement built-in (QR packs, UGC, ROI model) for Birmingham & the West Midlands.

Our Mission

To empower Birmingham brands and venues through local-first partnerships, transparent pricing, and measurable outcomes. Every booking should create value for the brand, the venue, and the community.

We're building the infrastructure for Birmingham's retail renaissance—one pop-up at a time.

What Makes Us Different

  • Birmingham-specialist: Deep local partnerships with BIDs, not spread-thin national coverage
  • Measurement built-in: QR tracking, foot traffic data, and ROI reporting included
  • Community-first: 1% of every booking to Neighbourhood Fund
  • Transparent pricing: 15% booking fee, no hidden costs

Community Impact

1% of every booking goes to our Neighbourhood Fund, managed with BID partners. This isn't marketing—it's measurable community investment.

How It Works

  • Live counter on site with quarterly area roll-ups
  • Micro-grants for window revamps & accessibility tweaks
  • Caselets showing communal outcomes

Example: £10,000 in monthly bookings = £100 to local streetscape improvements, accessibility upgrades, or window revamps in Jewellery Quarter or Digbeth.
