FAQs

Comprehensive audits should be conducted prior to each major seasonal change (e.g., holiday season, spring/summer transition), with post-season reviews to assess effectiveness and gather insights for future planning.

The checklist covers areas such as theme conceptualization, display design and placement, lighting schemes, integration with tenant storefronts, sustainability of decorations, storage and reuse plans, staff training on seasonal themes, and measurement of customer engagement with displays.

By including tenant collaboration in the planning process, the checklist ensures a cohesive look throughout the mall, maximizes cross-promotional opportunities, and helps tenants align their individual store decorations with the overall mall theme.

The audit team should include visual merchandising specialists, marketing managers, facilities managers, representatives from major tenants, and potentially external design consultants to ensure a comprehensive and creative approach.

The audit results can guide the development of unique, Instagram-worthy seasonal displays that differentiate the mall from competitors, attract media attention, and encourage social media sharing by visitors, thereby increasing the mall's visibility and appeal.
