Douglas’ Post

As a supporter of Sunday openings in the German retail sector, I see significant potential for positive transformation, particularly in cities such as Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, or Frankfurt. In the consultancy-intensive luxury industry, Sunday opening could be a pivotal development. In these metropolises known for their vibrant urban lifestyles and discerning consumers, the option to shop on Sundays could make a substantial contribution to revitalizing the retail sector. Specifically in the luxury industry, where consultation and the shopping experience are paramount, the open Sunday might provide an additional opportunity to engage customers and fulfill their needs. The presence of high-end boutiques and exclusive stores in these cities creates an ideal environment for Sunday shopping experiences that go beyond mere transactions. It could not only allow customers to browse and purchase at their leisure but also highlight personalized consultation and social interaction. Overall, the concept of Sunday opening shouldn't be viewed solely as an economic measure for boosting revenue but as an opportunity to reshape the retail landscape in a contemporary and customer-centric manner. It is hoped that in the future, the benefits of Sunday opening, particularly in sectors like luxury, will be more strongly considered. What are your thoughts and experiences on this potential shift in the retail paradigm? How do you perceive the idea of Sunday openings, especially in cities with a strong presence in the luxury industry? #SundayShopping #LuxuryRetail #RetailRevitalization #UrbanLifestyle #ShoppingExperience #ConsumerEngagement #RetailInnovation #CityCommerce #LuxuryConsultation #FutureOfRetail #SonntagsShopping #LuxusEinzelhandel #EinzelhandelRevitalisierung #Stadtlebensstil #Einkaufserlebnis #Kundenbindung #EinzelhandelInnovation #StadtHandel #LuxusBeratung #ZukunftDesHandels

Refreshed vision. About 20 years ago, I remember how concept stores were all the rage; how could we forget iconic places like Colette or 10 Corso Como, to name a couple. Then there was a bit of a decline for multi-brand stores, at least those that didn't manage to renew themselves conceptually and culturally, leading to a surge of brand and mega-brand signage. Now we are witnessing a comeback of multi-brand stores, especially in the high-end market. In London, LN-CC has been recognized since its inception as one of the most notable multi-brand luxury stores. Much more than just a store: unique store design, appointment-only shopping sessions, daring brand selection, and a lively event program any night of the week. Following a long period of closure due to COVID, after 4 years LN-CC has finally returned in-person, opening its doors to a new generation of fashion fans, as it faces a very different market now than before. The goal is to offer customers "a journey they will not find elsewhere." 🙌 What’s your take? # 313 RETAIL, United Kingdom 👉 More content on our website and subscribe to the weekly newsletter; the link to the featured news is in the first comment below. 🎯 If you want to learn more about our transformative approach to generating growth (yes, what we call innovation marketing!), feel free to write us privately.

Arket Announces Irish Debut: Flagship Store Set to Open in Dublin With Ireland's population standing at just 5 million, the country has increasingly become an attractive destination for international headquarters, drawn by its favorable taxation rates. Joining this trend, Arket, a subsidiary of the fashion powerhouse H&M Group, is preparing to launch its inaugural store in Ireland. This marks Arket's first venture into the Irish market, underscoring Dublin's significance as a premier shopping hub. Although Arket has maintained an online presence in Ireland, Managing Director Pernilla Wohlfahrt expressed anticipation in connecting directly with Irish patrons. Wohlfahrt emphasized the significance of establishing a physical store, stating, "The store will enable us to present our full brand experience and build a closer relationship with them." The Dublin store aims to be a lifestyle destination, offering a thoughtfully curated assortment of ready-to-wear garments, accessories for both women and men, children's apparel, bodycare products, and interior design items. Combining timeless wardrobe staples with seasonal fashion drops, Arket aims to capture current trends and expressions. Echoing the brand's previous locations, the Dublin store will feature an Arket Café, overseen by Swedish chef Martin Berg. Known for its deliberate expansion strategy, H&M Group announced earlier this year its intention to open a single store in Warsaw, Poland. Additionally, the group introduced the Arket brand to Latvia last year and is scheduled to launch in Milan this spring. Arket made its debut in 2017 on London's Regent Street, joining a cluster of H&M Group brands in the area, which include H&M itself, H&M Home, & Other Stories, COS, and Arket.

🏆Gold award for the best event during retail award gala of Polish Council of Shopping Centers!!!! Big congrats to the entire team of G City Europe (formerly Atrium European Real Estate) many of you in all departments made it happen and to the leaders on the front line of my marketing team Maciej Kuczyński & AGNIESZKA WROŃSKA I just want to add few words to what they already published in their posts. A project far beyond strict marketing communication. 💥A spark that came to us as a creative idea based of the strategy for Dominikanska shopping center in Wrocław. 🌟to convert part of an upper floor parking to a venue place, create it from the scratch, make a few month constant program of city atractions and convince people to visit us with wise advertising plan. Goals achieved. Higher traffic, additional interest, rejuveration of the brand & more income. 🌟This year with a lot of learnings and improvements done, traffic was almost tripled under the same budget. Nothing is impossible! But the huge engagement, positive vibes, and team spirit was a must to make it successful. I am a big fan of good marketing ideas that create real business value. Many thanks to our industry colleagues in jury for appreciating the project! 💥Many thanks to #PRCH team for a great evening and as it was anniversary event appreciation for the last 20 years of uniting, educating and representing the industry in diversity of topics and situations. #prchawards, #centrahandlowe, #shoppingmalls, #retail #realestate #marketing More about dACH!

Turn up the volume for Frankfurt’s Griesheim Center Hmm, sometimes it’s really fun to see how the #revitalization of an existing #retail asset becomes a shared opportunity. Many locations are well-known by customers ❤️. They’ve registered them in their shopping mind map 🎯. If that’s the case, landlords and tenants can share fresh ideas and build on their existing sound basis. Want to learn more? Take this recent example from Kaufland Deutschland: The Griesheim Center in #Frankfurt. Built in 2008 the center needed a new strong #footfallanchor. #Kaufland opened after 6 months of simultaneous renovation works including fit-for- #ESG measures esp. in terms of energy consumption 🌳. The new large supermarket fits seamlessly into the tenant mix which includes other specialty retailers such as Deichmann, Dirk Rossmann GmbH, TEDi & Ernsting's family! A project like this is always the result of teamwork 🤝. So, thank you 🙏 @Values the landlord, CBRE Germany / Prime Consulting & MEC METRO-ECE Centermanagement GmbH & Co. KG for your trust and collaboration! STRONG PARTNERS 💪, STRONG LOCATIONS 💪! And now: Turn up the volume 📣 and enjoy the video!  

Today‘s Friday story: „Unveiling Lucerne's Dynamic Retail Evolution" 🏞️ Over the past few years, the retail scene in Lucerne, Switzerland, has undergone significant evolution. The city's main shopping streets, including Hertensteinstrasse, Weggisgasse, Grendelstrasse and Kappelgasse, have remained pivotal hubs for retail activity. However, recent developments indicate a notable transformation in the retail landscape, characterized by shifts in tenant mix, emerging consumer preferences, and the influx of international visitors, particularly from Asia. In prime locations such as Weggisgasse and Hertensteinstrasse, a wave of tenant turnovers has been observed, signaling a dynamic market environment. Leading brands like Fielmann, Swatch, Depot and Rituals have seized opportunities to establish new flagship stores, demonstrating confidence in Lucerne's retail potential. Despite a few vacancies, the market appears resilient, with reports suggesting swift replacement tenants for vacant spaces. A noteworthy aspect influencing Lucerne's retail dynamics is the substantial presence of Asian tourists, drawn to the city's charm and its upscale shopping precinct, Grendelstrasse. Their patronage has not only fueled the demand for luxury goods but has also contributed to the vibrancy of the retail ecosystem. This phenomenon underscores Lucerne's appeal as an international shopping destination and underscores the need for retailers to cater to diverse consumer demographics. In terms of rental pricing, the market remains competitive, with average rates ranging from CHF 2‘000 to 2’800 per square meter, reflecting factors such as size, location, condition, and floor space. 🤓 Are you interested in getting more insights?
