You don’t need me to point out that many shopping malls are in crisis.
But did you know that one of the sector’s big underlying problems is this:
Mall owners typically know little about the individuals who shop with them.
Or what will trigger a specific person to visit the mall more often (and spend more when they do).
The result?
Many mall owners have few ways to (measurably) boost footfall and sales.
That makes it hard to know – in fine detail – which of their marketing ideas work.
And which don’t.
At the same time, mall owners often lack a direct communication channel to their shoppers (other than using media within the mall itself).
That means owners often have to spend money on advertising each time they want to drive people back to the mall.
As you can see, all this limits the mall owner’s ability to control whether their mall thrives.
Or dies.
