Mall culture is fast evolving in India.
Today, malls are mushrooming in every nook and corner of the country. This
mushrooming growth of malls in the country marks the importance of Mall Advertising in India. Mall
Advertising as compared to other outdoor tools of advertising is a different
cup of tea. Mall advertisers aim at providing more than advertising impressions
to its target group.
Why people come to malls?
A demographic survey of consumer behavior
analyses that different age groups come to malls for different reasons.
However, most of these audiences are somehow related to advertisement and ease
of shopping or cultural industry. Few reasons are highlighted here:
- Children who belong to the age group between 5 and 15 years
come to malls to buy toys. They come there because they either saw ads in
Television or come there as their friends tell them.
- Youths who fall in the age category of 15-25 come at the malls
to chill out and have fun as well as to show off.
- Adults who fall in the age group of 25-45 come at the malls to
shop, dine or to watch movies (these audiences are the general target
audience of mall advertisers).
- Elders who fall in the ager group of 45 and above are mostly
audiences who come to shopping malls with rekindled interests to either
enjoy their leisure time or to indulge in shopping and related
experiences.
