Do you think there’s too many shopping malls in Malaysia? Is retail dying or is it evolving into some thing else? A recent visit to Pavilion Damansara Heights was eye opening. On a weekday, the mall was quiet and I was surprised to see half of the lots still empty, despite operating since October 2023. I am sure with the vast strength and reach of Pavilions group, this mall will not fail, due to its strategic location. However at this point, with the mall seemingly half empty (or perhaps I am wrong with the percentage?), shoppers who expect to see the full “Pavilion” feel may be disappointed when they get there.For the food and beverage floor, it was well tenanted out, with some lunch office group traffic. Also, they’re running interesting raffle draw (WIN A TESLA) and some CNY gifting. I am glad to see Pavilion closer to home at Mont Kiara. However I worry there’s too many malls : from neighborhood ones to giant ones, with so little population. Unlike the Philippines which is densely populated , KL will struggle with filling up some of these places… with the emergence of new players like TRX. Consumers are the clear winners of having more malls — which means more choices. For businesses, they may struggle to see ROI back, depending on the concept and brand strength. Just my two cents. VISITED at the end of January 2024. #malls #malaysia #shoppingmall #visit #restaurants #pavilion #damansaraheights

How did 'Gattu' lead the way for Asian Paints?We all know Asian Paints today as one of the leading company from India. A brand that was started by a group of four friends in a garage in South Mumbai. This post is not just about the brand, but about the original mascot that Asian Paints displayed for nearly 50 years. Created by the legendary R.K. Laxman in 1954, 'Gattu' was a mischievous boy with a paintbrush in his hands and a can of paint at his foot. The idea behind the mascot was to reach the masses especially in the rural areas. Consumers like the painters & paint contractors could easily associate with the brand. Gattu helped develop a strong brand recall for Asian Paints. From the 1950s till the 1980s people could recognize Asian Paints whenever they saw the image of Gattu. As the brand matured over the years, Gattu became a smaller part of their ad campaign. The emphasis turned more towards targeting the premium consumer segment. Asian Paints kept reinventing itself over the years to keep up with the changing market. From being just a paint company, Asian Paints has successfully created itself as ultimate brand for everything in home decor. It ranks 2nd in Asia amongst the paint company. The company's growth story is worth learning about in context to successful Indian brands. Ultimately Asian Paints had to let go of 'Gattu' as the brand mascot in 2002. Having grown up seeing this mascot alongside the famous 'Amul girl' and the 'Maharaja' of Air India, I often wonder what would have happened if Gattu stayed?

However, there is fierce competition as South Korea's Lotte Group has launched a mall and a department store in the capital, and Japan's Aeon Mall also operates in the city.#ipavietnam #investvietnam #tradevietnam

👟 The Internationalization of Sneakers and StreetwearOver the last few weeks, we've seen Supreme open up a store in Shanghai, Palace open up a store in Seoul, Atmos open up a store in Manila, and Patta open up a store in Lagos!As someone who used to live in Manila, I was shocked to see the news around Atmos. I've never considered the Philippines a major revenue market for sneaker and streetwear brands, but I quickly realized that's old school thinking.At an international level, the fastest growing economies are in places like Asia and Africa, and a natural progression within an emerging economy is increased purchasing power that will be spent on categories like fashion. China has been an obvious destination for streetwear brands, but I think most people wouldn't always think about Seoul, Manila, or Lagos. If you review the financial statements of companies like Nike or Adidas, a lot of their fastest growing markets are in Asia.For the smaller boutique fashion and streetwear brands, betting on younger, faster-growing populations in places like Asia and Africa makes a lot of sense and is a way to solidify your brand's connection to the local culture.In the pursuit of growth today, you really need to have an international mindset that goes beyond purely Western markets.https://lnkd.in/duYJ7-XP#streetwear #atmos #sneakers #manila #lagos #shanghai #seoul #culture #streetculture #asia #africa

Being at the helm of a Sustainable and Eco-friendly Home & Fashion brand, I’m very mindful of how we package and ship our products to our customers - B2B or DTC. As part of our policy, given that we’re a small business, we don’t accept returns but if there’s an issue with any product, we’re happy to resolve it. Hence, paying close attention to the quality of the product and it’s packaging is of utmost importance to us. Online shopping is great until it doesn’t work and adds to the hassle of repackaging a piece of heavy furniture and returning it! Not only the fashion industry but the home decor sector is impacted by returns, disposals in landfills, and eventual impact on the environment.One such personal experience led me to ask the fundamental question - what has happened to (1) Quality Assurance at the time of shipment to the end consumer (2) Where is the accountability on the part of the well established department store’s Return counter? A damaged product was shipped to the end consumer, hence the return. Why blame it on the third party who’s somewhere in Indonesia? The end consumer, that’s me, bought it from this well established US brand!These days most stores don’t keep a physical sample of certain pieces of furniture in their locations. One has to trust the name and credibility of the company that offers them. So, shouldn’t quality assurance at the time of shipment to the end consumer be an important step so that returns can be minimized? What happens to the damaged console table that I returned? You guessed it - most likely, disposed.What are we to gain by holding discussions in summits if in reality we’re not practicing the basics of Sustainable marketplace rules?#sustainability #returnculture #environmentalimpact

👜 Louis Vuittonhas launched a new, multi-faceted experiential building in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand — “LV The Place Bangkok.” The building houses an exhibition that takes visitors through the brand’s rich history and a café with a range of sweet treats, drinks and exclusive items. Additionally, it features a store that offers fluidity between the men’s and women’s product universes, as well as a restaurant launched in partnership with celebrated ChefGaggan Anand.🌍 All under one roof inside the newly renovated Gaysorn Amarin shopping mall, the space is a testament to innovative design, further characterized by its dreamy façade of glowing diamond shapes. Inside, visitors are greeted by a multifaceted world where retail, dining and culture intertwine, providing a unique and immersive journey through the Louis Vuitton universe.💡 To seduce the local consumer, Louis Vuitton exemplifies the strategy of being recognized as an active actor in its cultural ecosystem. The brand acts as a "cultural ambassador" rather than a "commercial conqueror." Already in the early 2000s, Louis Vuitton set out to seduce Japan by launching this "artistic strategy." Any LV flagship aspires to act more as an ambassador of art and creator of immersive experiences rather than just a boutique. It is a space for any LV fan to experience the whole brand universe and heritage.#luxuryindustry #lujo #luxurymindset
