Frequently asked questions
How does Giggster compare to Negotiables for Birmingham pop-ups?
Giggster charges by the hour (from £20/hr), making it expensive for multi-day retail pop-ups. A 7-day pop-up could cost £3,360. Negotiables offers fixed monthly rates from £200-500, providing better value for retail brands.
Can I book Giggster spaces for a full month?
Yes, but prohibitively expensive. A £50/hr space = £36,000/month. Giggster isn't designed for month-long retail. Negotiables' monthly pricing (£200-500) is purpose-built for pop-up retail.
