We visit shopping malls to meet our basic needs, but like most markets in Nigeria, they have also become places of attraction. For many brand managers and marketers, it represents a much easier opportunity for direct engagement for customers. Basically, we can agree that the primary objective of marketing is to grab your audience’s attention as firmly as possible. Retail or mall activation has proven, time and again, to be very effective at capturing people’s attention and focusing it on brands and products.
The beautiful thing about capturing the consumers’ attention in a mall is that they are, in a sense, probably ready for it.
Malls are filled with different brands and the consumer is used to looking at brands when they’re in the mall, which means they’re ready to give you the required attention. Thus, a really well-done mall activation can create the perfect buzz. For Ekiti, see some of the interesting malls:
