Shopping centre management consists of presenting an optimal marketing strategy to the business owner by ensuring that the mix of shops in the centre has a logical structure. It is also crucial to understand the business model of the various stakeholders and build a long-term, viable relationship with them. The management of events in the centres and of traders’ associations are complementary in order to ensure the uniformity and the development of the centre. Additionally, we evaluate the rent considering the turnover ratio that the tenant can afford.
It is vital to choose the ideal mix of shops based on the location of the shopping centre, its natural footfall, customer loyalty and their purchasing power. To make the best decisions, certain criteria have to be identified. Comptoir Immobilier supports its clients by offering powerful tools such as counting systems in centres to achieve customer targeting. This helps to understand who is coming, what time, how long and what route they take.
Nearly 200 shopping centres exist in Switzerland and consist of an identical mix of brands. Their future is being questioned because the current dynamic is running out of steam. Today, the real stake of the commercial property sector is in the valuation of buildings because the infrastructure is mostly ageing.
At the same time, the non-food sector is suffering from the boom in online shopping and shopping tourism. A reinvention is therefore necessary and give new life to shopping centres. The trends in organic produce, hard discounts, click & collect and home delivery is emerging. Facilitating access to these types of products and modes of shopping is becoming essential to. Comptoir Immobilier is taking up this challenge by following trends and developments in the sector and constantly innovate in order to keep its shopping centers as attractive as possible.
