Featured Course

Marketing Foundations

You opened a shop to sell things you love, not to become a marketing expert. Our Retail Marketing Foundations course, built by the UpNext team, breaks it all down: from building your base and getting found online to keeping the momentum going long after your launch.

The Pop-Up Playbook

The flagship course that started it all…

The Pop-Up Playbook is our signature course that catalyzed the creation of The Retail Playground. This course covers everything you need to dream up, launch and operate a pop-up shop. With step-by-step instructions, customizable resources and a robust companion workbook, you can create your very own pop-up in a matter of weeks.
