Instead of focussing on ready-to-wear brands to attract mainly female shoppers, these new centres are turning to high-end shops and services and excellent leisure. The challenge: to differentiate themselves by <a href=\"https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/en\/non-classifiee\/retail-industry-virtual-reality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">being more attractive<\/a>, and transform their image, <u>from a retail space to a community space<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>Faced with this competition, the challenge is to produce the greatest &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/en\/non-classifiee\/phygital-strategy-top-innovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wow effect<\/a>&#8220;.

With this approach, shops become secondary, serving simply as showcases for manufacturers and brands, and focus on &#8216;event spaces&#8217; that host <a href=\"https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/en\/non-classifiee\/gamification-strategy-retail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interactive activities<\/a> \u2013 the real stars of this infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20449\" src=\"https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Shopping-centres-and-data-retail-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Shopping centres and data-retail\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Shopping-centres-and-data-retail-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Shopping-centres-and-data-retail.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>WiFi in the service of customer experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In this digitised ecosystem, where shopping centres are transformed into places for relaxation, new habits are beginning to emerge, in particular with the appearance of &#8216;waiting areas&#8217;.\u00a0 While many are already equipped with smartphone chargers, shopping centres have everything to win by optimizing downtime to <a href=\"https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/en\/non-classifiee\/captive-portal-ucopia-communication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">enhance the customer experience<\/a>. Exceptional offers, newspapers to read or children&#8217;s games can increase the time customers spend in shopping centres and, as a result, the average basket.<\/p>\n<p>WiFi is a privileged channel to deploy this experience. While most new-generation shopping centres provide WiFi, not all of them <a href=\"https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/en\/non-classifiee\/top5-store-digitisation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">optimise its use<\/a>. WiFi is a connectivity tool, but it can also become a powerful means of communication and <a href=\"https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/en\/non-classifiee\/retail-leverage-on-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data analysis<\/a>. By providing a personalised connection portal, shopping centres can do more than offer their customers a <a href=\"https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/en\/non-classifiee\/retail-revolution-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">personalised service based<\/a> on their consumption history and geographical location. The personalisation of marketing also makes it possible to deploy data-oriented visitor flow management, for example by offering queue passes when waiting times are long, or by redirecting visitors to other events or activities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shopping centres are reinventing themselves and going digital, based on the customer experience, as they shift from being <a href=\"https:\/\/ucopia.weblib-test.com\/en\/non-classifiee\/retail-hybrid-digital-store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">retail spaces to community spaces<\/a>. In a highly competitive environment, this challenge is crucial for their survival: providing services that facilitate their customers&#8217; lives thanks to WiFi, in order to enhance the experience offered. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several hundred new shopping centres are created in France every year.
