Westfield rolls out ‘searchable mall’ app

First innovation from Westfield Labs

Westfield Group has unveiled a “searchable mall” app that helps consumers find items to purchase before they visit one of the company’s shopping centres.

The Searchable Mall app – at www.westfield.com.au – is the first innovation to come out of Westfield Labs, the group’s global digital lab based in San Francisco. All Westfield operations in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and United States are working with the lab to create new products for digital shoppers, Westfield said.

The app’s first release lets users search for more than 97,000 fashion and beauty products from a raft of retailers, locate stores, opening hours, and deals, as well as search for events and movie times. More features will be added in 2014, the company said.

Westfield researched 6700 Australian adults who used the company’s previous website and found that consumers who browsed the website were more likely to visit a store and spent significantly more than those who did not.

David Jones CEO Paul Zahra, said the retailer – which was 16 stores in Westfield shopping centres across Australia – was focused on increasing foot traffic in-store and online, and its decision to partner with Westfield was a reflection of this objective.

Marketing prowess versus the enigma of the metaverse

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.

More than money talks in sports sponsorship

As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
