What is mean by shop in shop?
The "shop-in-shop" retail concept is where a brand owner or
retailer takes space in another retailer's store and fits it out to
provide selling space dedicated to that secondary company's
products. A lot of brands/retailers have monobrand stores which are
totally dedicated to their ranges e.g. adidas, Hugo Boss, UGG or
Levi's; often they have "shop-in-shop" programs where they occupy a
set amount of space in other multiple outlets, in addition to their
monobrand stores. One example of the mix of retail space is Umbro,
with nearly 2,000 outlets but 80% are "shop-in-shop" outlets and
the balance stand-alone monobrand stores. There are benefits to
both retailers e.g. shared costs, shared marketing and
demand-generation, and speed to market. The concept is as old as
the farmers' market!
