Redefining the shopper experience: A Primedia Malls and Pareto partnership
The continued partnership between Primedia Malls and Pareto ushers in a new era for the South African shopping experience. With iconic static advertising in malls being complemented by dynamic digital displays featuring more interactive content and captivating visuals – there is increased pressure to capture the attention of the shopper on their buying journey. The shopping experience has been redefined, with shoppers navigating malls with ease using smart wayfinding systems and discovering targeted promotions tailored to their interests. This is the future of shopping malls: a seamless journey that excites, informs, and connects with today's tech-savvy consumer.
Pareto boasts an impressive and diverse property portfolio with both a national and international footprint. The organisation is renowned for developing major projects in some of South Africa's prime locations. Pareto's extensive portfolio encompasses prestigious hotels, premium shopping centres, and highly sought-after conference facilities. Some of the flagship shopping centres under Pareto's umbrella include Menlyn Park Shopping Centre; Cresta, Southgate, and Westgate in Johannesburg in Gauteng, Pavilion Shopping Centre in KwaZulu-Natal, Tyger Valley Shopping Centre in the Western Cape, and Mimosa Mall in the Free State Province (See Figure 1).
Primedia Malls, as a division of the Primedia Group, will offer a 360 approach to drive revenue for Pareto through the Group’s reach.
Primedia Group's stackable reach allows brands to engage consumers at multiple touchpoints throughout their shopper journey. The power of Primedia Group's reach comes from a combination of media channels, including radio, broadcasting, billboards, and shopping malls' digital screens. Through these platforms, Primedia can:
- Target and reach shoppers at multiple touchpoints of their buying journey
- Attract new brands to the malls by promoting the media and advertising opportunities available
- Allow brands to leverage Primedia's partnerships and reputation to create new revenue streams
Muhammad Paruk, asset management executive of Pareto said, “We at Pareto Limited are delighted to extend our partnership with Primedia Malls. We are confident that the appointment of Primedia Malls will push the envelope in introducing trends and world-class innovations that will continue to elevate the in-mall advertising experience within our portfolio.
