Welcome to my blogspot where I share significant insights and thoughts on retail: what I see, what wows
me or perhaps tends to disappoint, combined with what I have learnt over the years and what I know
to work for sure. I hope you will find this blog interesting, informative and highly enlightening.

Shopping can be a real pick-me-up experience!


Inspiration comes in so many varied forms, which is why I tend to spend a fair amount of time in malls on the look-out for new and exciting displays, promotions and ideas.


On Monday morning I came across a fantastic idea I have never seen before, inside a mall. This ‘golf cart’ was carting customers wherever they wanted to go. I thought it was a brilliant idea because malls are getting larger as we speak and sometimes reaching the other side just becomes too daunting.


At times I have even considered going back to my car and driving to the other side of the mall when I am in a hurry and I have to do errands on the opposite end. That way I wouldn’t still have to walk all the way back to my car, once my errands had been completed. (And I’m an able and fit person who has absolutely no problem walking anywhere. But so many, especially the elderly, simply cannot manage that.)


To you this may seem like a fairly trivial mall offering, but to countless others it could open up a whole new world of shopping possibilities. I truly hope many more larger centres wake up to the immense benefits of this offering soon.
