SHOPPING MALLS
ADAPT OR DISAPPEAR
Originally, the shopping malls consisted of a group of stores in one or more buildings with hallways interconnecting them and allowed the visitors to walk from one store to another without leaving the place. They became the soul of many communities, the core of their retail economy, and also a place where teenagers would gather and hang out. They were born in the EEUU and have spread all over the world.Â
However, the rapid advance of the digital revolution (electronic stores and new digital technologies) and a change in global trends, has radically transformed consumer expectations. Now when people go to to the shopping malls they are looking for experiences beyond the traditional shopping. As these new trends advance, the shopping mall operators are forced to rethink the idea and how to operate their properties.
RADICAL CHANGES
IN CONSUMER EXPECTATIONS
EXPERIENCE IS DECISIVE
In fact, with the emergence of experiences, retail sale becomes a secondary pole of attraction for many shopping malls. The customer’s go to a show, interesting activity, exciting attraction, to take a walk or spend the day, and while they are there, they shop.Â
Information technologies are also an important factor in the transformation of the shopping malls. The challenge for these and their tenants is combining the ease of online shopping with the touch and feel of the physical store experience. Technology provides solutions to satisfactorily respond to this challenge.
The so-called beacon technology is being used to inform the shoppers in the malls about the promotions and events. Technology can even direct them towards specific products and immediate promotions in the stores. In addition, the functionality of smartphones is integrated into the access to the inventory of each store. On the other hand, collecting data on customers shopping habits allows to monitor behavior and tailor the shopping experience to their liking. Â Lastly, a well placed tactile screen allows the shoppers to view 3D maps of the shopping mall, look for schedules of events, services, discounts, as well as situating themselves and download the store directions. And of course the cell phone charging stations becomes something common.Â
In summary, these new trends imply investments in the following aspects:
