How It Works

Brand activation in malls takes advantage of the unique opportunity to reach shoppers at multiple touchpoints during their visit. With hyper-targeted ad placements in high-traffic mall areas—such as entrances, food courts, escalators, and even restrooms—Adzze offers brands an ideal platform to create immersive and memorable customer experiences.

Adzze provides a range of impactful, in-hand advertising solutions for effective brand activation. Here are some of the key media options that can drive results in the mall environment:

• Mall Kiosks and Stand Displays: Positioned in high-traffic areas, these eye-catching displays draw attention and allow brands to showcase their messages and promotional content.
• Escalator and Elevator Wraps: These dynamic placements engage a captive audience, ensuring repeated exposure as shoppers move through the mall, which helps reinforce brand recall.
• Food Court Placements: Branded placemats or tabletop decals offer an opportunity to connect with shoppers as they relax and dine, creating an uninterrupted, engaging experience.
• Interactive Digital Screens and Virtual Reality Stations: These installations provide experiential marketing opportunities, allowing consumers to interact with brands in innovative ways.
• In-Restroom Ads: Ads placed in restrooms, especially in busy malls, target consumers in a quieter space where they are more likely to engage with the messaging.

By strategically utilizing these placements, mall advertising helps create strong brand recall and lasting impressions.

Use Cases for Brand Activation with Mall Advertising

Product Launch Events: A beauty brand launching a new product line can use mall kiosks for interactive displays that let shoppers sample items. Placing digital screens at entrances or within beauty sections of the mall allows for personalized experiences while gathering valuable consumer insights.

• Seasonal Campaigns: Retailers can take advantage of mall advertising during the holiday season by creating festive displays on escalators, in food courts, or on stand displays. For instance, a retail brand might wrap elevators and escalators with seasonal messaging, offering promotions that draw more foot traffic to their store.
• QR Code Scavenger Hunts: Interactive mall campaigns using QR codes on signage, escalator wraps, or tabletop displays can encourage shoppers to scan codes as they explore. Offering incentives like discounts or promotions for completing the hunt helps drive engagement and boosts sales.
• In-Restroom Branding for Health and Wellness Brands: A wellness brand can target customers by placing ads on restroom mirrors or stalls to promote new products or services, such as fitness programs or supplements. This quiet, focused space gives brands a chance to deliver a thoughtful, targeted message to a captive audience.
• Augmented Reality (AR) Pop-up Experiences: AR experiences that blend digital elements into the physical mall environment can captivate tech-savvy shoppers. For example, a gaming company could create a virtual scavenger hunt, using AR to display hidden messages or special offers throughout the mall, encouraging customers to engage with the brand in a fun and memorable way.

Through strategic mall advertising, brands can create experiences that resonate with shoppers, drive engagement, and leave a lasting impact.
