From 19th to 22nd of April the global convention for the shopping centre industry ICSC Global Retail Real Estate Convention (RECon) will be held in Las Vegas, US. Retail real estate professionals from around the world meet up with shopping center owners, developers, managers, marketing specialists, investors, retailers and brokers, as well as academics and public officials.
People who visit a shopping centre want to be sure they can park their car safely and conveniently. The parking facility is the first and last impression people get from your shopping centre, since most people use their car for transportation when they go out shopping. The most important thing for people is probably the knowledge that they will find a parking space within a few minutes. Parking availability is the key factor in choosing a shopping centre. Not only availability is important, the parking experience should be as convenient as possible. People live busy lives and visiting a shopping centre should be something fun. The first experience in your shopping centre should set the standard for the whole shopping experience. Stress in the parking lot, not being able to find a parking space and traffic congestion means less time for shopping a and a bad mood, which leads to less spending.
ParkHelp will exhibit their shopping centre parking solutions at this convention. If you want to meet up with them, you can Tweet them or fill in their online form. Here’s an example of what you can expect from these pioneers in parking solutions:
