Bawadi Mall sees rise in visitor footfall

Al Ain, March 23, 2014

Al Ain’s Bawadi Mall, a leading shopping and leisure destination, has reported 709,416 visitors in February, reflecting an increase of 7 per cent compared to the same period last year.

The mall offered its visitors throughout the month an all-encompassing cultural experience through a series of dynamic heritage shows performed by well-known African bands, said Khalid Shraim, senior marketing manager.

“We have created an ‘infotainment’ approach to offer our visitors a fun and educational experience. These seasonal themes celebrate major civilizations and take visitors on a historical journey.”

Similar to other themed promotions designed by Bawadi Mall, the African theme focused on the art and heritage where the marketing and production teams created models of African culture symbols, accompanied by a brief description of each symbol. The cultural performances also featured a colourful array of performances that reflected the African spirit.

“Last year similar campaigns attracted a large number of visitors from all around the UAE and the region. We carefully study visitors’ preferences and then tailor the campaigns. We think that we are adding qualitative value to the shopping bonanza in the mall.”

Around 11 three-dimensional portraits of the most famous figures from the African continent have been created, along with explanations on relevant beliefs, the peoples who use it and for what purpose. Bawadi Mall organised an average of 4 daily shows at different periods of the day targeting different segments of visitors.

“We erected the models in different parts of the mall and these were well received by visitors as well as our 400 tenants. The main stage for the African performances was constructed in the main atrium of the mall,” added Shraim.

“As the largest mall in Al Ain city and one of the major destinations for visitors and tourists, we devise infotainment campaigns that attract the whole family in an ideal shopping environment. We innovate through various attractive initiatives that are welcomed by the multi-national and the multi-cultural community of the UAE,” concluded Shraim. – TradeArabia News Service
