BSA World Jamboree
The US was set to host the World Jamboree for the first time since 1967. The BSA had to construct 3 unique retail pop-up stores in a challenging outdoor environment. The pop-up stores contained the standard BSA point of sale systems as well as video surveillance. All 3 sites had to be constructed, wired and made ready for business in a very tight time window.
MACRO VALUE ADD
Over several site visits, Macro technicians wired the pop-up stores and configured and installed the POS environment. Macro provided on-site support before, during and after the event to ensure everything went to plan. When complete Macro de-installed all of the equipment so that it could be re-deployed.
Results
45,000 international attendees, visitors and volunteers brought plenty of traffic in the 2-week period. By every measure the project was a success with well over $3 million in sales.
