Dotonbori, Osaka You won’t miss this place when you are near it. You either see the neon lights along the Tonbori River or hear the sounds from the streets. Tenant Mix - The streets are packed with F&B outlets, retail and convenience outlets, departmental stores, etc. This is where you find Gucci next in the middle of a street alongside local brands. Then you find some local eating houses and a little criossant shop along the side streets. There doesn’t seem to be a cohesive tenant mix to the area but the place works! Place Identity - What gives this place its unique identity are the ‘exaggerated’ shop signs which come in various forms (don’t think there are signage guidelines here). One shop tries to outdo another when it comes to drawing visitors’ attention. Iconic ‘Landmark’ One of the landmarks here is Glico Running Man who has been ‘running’ since 1935. It is now an icon in its own right, where many come here to take pictures (posing as the Running Man) with it. I wonder if Glico still needs to pay for the use of the media space. Shared Street - The streets are semi-pedestrianised. We arrived at 10:30am and there were delivery trucks rushing to make its deliveries before the visitors take over the streets when the shops open at 11am. Very soon the streets were packed with people. Walking down the streets are like walking through DisneyLand where the sights and sounds keep engaging you. Shop owners calling out to you, queues forming outside the popular shops and you wonder what are they queuing for (ramen!), the billboards showing the latest Netflix series and advertisements. Then there is the aroma from the street food. Love walking down the buzzy street! #streets #streetscape #shopping #shoppingexperience #shoppingcenter #toursim #shoplocal #internationalbrands #placemaking #placebranding #placeidentity #neighbourhoods #citiesforpeople #streetsforpeople #walking #activemobility

Innovation marketing for high-end market, with the mission of transforming the marketing and communications of heritage and modern brands into assets that generate growth | Supporter of the culture of modern business
Retro modern mix. In Japan, what we commonly call shopping centers should be called “shopping sanctuary.” Beautiful, well-organized, elegant, and above all, innovative in their approach to retail. I remember that even 15 years ago, they were extremely skilled in displaying food products, as well as in fashion and home goods. The precision and ability to present products heavily reference the local culture. Azabudai Hills is the new prestigious shopping center in Tokyo, a high-quality mixed-use complex combining residences with shops, set in a delightful landscaped environment. It embodies a charm similar to Roppongi Hills and Omotesando Hills. Officine Universelle Buly, which offers a wide range of fragrances, body care, skincare, haircare, and personal care products, sees opportunities for expansion and occupies a standalone structure that is somewhat reminiscent of Forum Les Halles, a late 1970s Parisian shopping complex. 🙌 What’s your take? # 319 RETAIL, Japan 👉 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 me privately.

Is Luxury Brand's Lifestyle Cafe the new era? The first-ever Cafe Carrera in the world just opened in Singapore Midtown. Do Luxury brands move to the restaurant business after hotels? Luxury fashion brands and super luxe car makers are now moving into lifestyle cafes. From CNA Lifestyle post: #Less traditional car showroom and more like a clubhouse for hardcore Porsche fans. “Where else in the world can you walk into a retail gallery, buy a coffee, ogle a Porsche or two, then sit down to start your workday in a free co-working space? Only at the new Porsche Studio Singapore, apparently”. I visited The cafe managed by Baker & Cook, a local bakery and cafe created by Dean Brettschneider. The setting and menu of bakeries are similar to a Baker & Cook outlet, with the only difference being the packaging and merchandising Carrera. From our market studies, we can see the rise of this branded cafe around the globe, and Asia (especially Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong) is a growing market. In recent years, the intersection of luxury fashion and high-end car brands has given rise to a unique and sophisticated trend – the luxury fashion and car brand cafe. These establishments seamlessly blend opulent aesthetics with a refined culinary experience (most use celebrity chefs such as Anne-Sophie Pic, Jean Imbert (for Dior), Massimo Bottura (Gucci) or Pastry chefs such as Pierre Hermé (Dior Japan) or Maxime Frederic (Louis Vuitton), creating exclusive spaces where patrons can indulge in fashion passions. For automotive, AutoGrill developed and co-branded for Mercedes-Benz, a Mercedes cafe, and ultra-luxury cars (Ferrari) is following the lifestyle movement initiated by The Luxury Fashion Brands (Tiffany, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Armani…) Picture sleek interiors adorned with iconic brand motifs, offering a curated selection of gourmet delights inspired by the essence of these prestigious labels. These cafes serve as havens for enthusiasts, fostering a lifestyle transcending conventional boundaries, uniting the worlds of high fashion or luxury automobiles in a harmonious symphony of style and taste. Do you see it as a rising competition for local eateries or celebrity chefs? Will you visit one of these establishments once for an Instagram moment or regularly?

"A curated view of where innovation is happening in marketing today, why it matters, and how it is transforming modern business". --- Neo-industrial aesthetic. I have been a reader of 032C for several years now, having witnessed its inception back in the early 2000s. The creativity and courage displayed during its magazine launch hinted that their journey would extend beyond print. Over the years, the brand has expanded its scope beyond publishing, creating ready-to-wear collections and fostering community-driven experiences globally, all centered around its minimalist neo-industrial aesthetic. Continuing its growth trajectory with a holistic yet innovative approach, they have embarked on a new venture: the opening of their first retail and exhibition space outside of Germany, located in Seoul’s fashionable Seongsu neighborhood. The 032c Gallery Seoul is a collaboration with a Korean fashion platform, envisioned as a gallery and clothing store that converges Eastern and Western contemporary culture. 🙌 What’s your take? # 328 RETAIL, South Korea 👉 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.

As I spend more time working with our Luxury Retail Clients and hear more about their successes and challenges. I find it interesting that the Japanese market is consistently a growing market despite the downturn globally With the combination of foreign shoppers, cheap yen, and the natural allure of looking your best in the streets of Tokyo and Osaka, I don't doubt that the Japanese Luxury Retail market will continue to be critical for business in the coming years. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/g7YFypwQ

Owner of atomi | ACTUS häuse | Managing Partner of atomi Consulting | Author of "The Atomi Way" | Part-Time Lecturer & Mentor for undergraduates, postgraduates courses, and CET ,NTU
atomi | Retail Consultancy | 15082024 Japan experienced a significant increase in economic activity due to strong local consumer spending and a weakened yen, making it a more appealing destination for tourists. Despite the strong currency in Singapore deterring some tourist groups, there are still positive aspects to anticipate. Single-brand stores continued to be the preferred choice for consumers seeking in-person shopping experiences. To adapt to returning travellers, brands must merge physical and digital experiences to maintain customer connections. Although foot traffic at large physical retail spaces like department and specialty stores has noticeably declined, we have observed a marked increase in tourist activity in our day-to-day operations. Retailers have had to reassess their roles and value propositions to meet consumer demands and stay pertinent in the face of the post-pandemic environment. While online sales have seen a decline, our company's websites have seen consistent growth. Online retailers focusing solely on e-commerce have resorted to increased markdowns to attract buyers and generate higher traffic. On the other hand, omnichannel brands must maintain a proactive approach to weather the stormy conditions brought on by these challenging times. www.atomi.shop #andrewtanatomisingapore #theatomiway #atomi
