Does the convenience of online buying reduce footfall at traditional malls? “The impact on mall footfall might vary based on consumer preferences and the experiential nature of malls. While some may still prefer the social aspect and experience of physical shopping, online shopping caters to convenience, especially for those with time constraints,” says Dr. Rahim hussain, Associate Professor of Marketing at the University of Dubai. “In-mall stores can use this to their advantage. Too many options are also a problem where customers can be fatigued and ultimately not know what to choose. Using digital platforms to their advantage, brands and stores can collaborate with local businesses for in-mall pop-ups and other exclusive activations,’ says Mehreen Kassam, brand and communications specialist at Nikon MENA. “Implement technology solutions such as mobile apps for easy navigation, augmented reality for virtual try-ons or smart fitting rooms to enhance the shopping experience and differentiate from online competitors,” says Aditi Vyas Kumar ACIM, a chartered marketer.
