There are countless reasons why we go to shopping plazas like Danks Street Plaza in Australia rather than just a mere department store. The fact that a shopping plaza or a mall is a group of many different brands ready to cater to our needs is the main reason for our indulgence in such a business establishments. Other reason to go to such a place is to unwind and window-shop or just eat. Shopaholics see shopping at a plaza more relaxing than it is in a department store.
With the growing number of shopping plazas and malls in the world, we are faced with the problem on which to go to. I've compiled some tips on choosing the right shopping plaza just for you.
A. Think about the reason why you need to go to a mall or plaza.
- If you are to buy something, what is it and which brand? You have to know the exact product or description of the product, so it won't cause problems of having to choose from two substituting items. You also have to make sure that the plaza you choose has the thing that you are going to purchase.
- If you are going to unwind and just roam around, are you going to spend the day window-shopping or dining outside? If you will be window-shopping only, that's not gonna be a problem. But, if you are planning to eat outside, make sure that the plaza has the restaurant or cafe you want.
For some of us who are not brand conscious, we could be facing a problem wherein we may need to assess whether which of the brands would satisfy us more. Getting into a plaza would mean that we are going to face such circumstance. You may read letter A again.
C. It is all about the amenities.
Most people see the shopping plazas, not only as a place to shop, but a place to unwind too. It does help if the plaza you are going to has all the much needed amenities such as clean rest rooms, in-house first-aiders and ambulance for emergencies, park, and for most of us, online people, WIFI!!!
If you are with your children, it also helps a lot if the plaza has all the kid-friendly amenities. That means that the plaza won't have any reason to harm your child, aside from outside circumstances.
D. Your experiences matters the most.
Of course, your experiences will rule over any tips you receive. If you have one bad experience with a said plaza or mall, you would probably think twice of going back. But, if you have pleasant memories, you are sure to be going back more and more.
After all, it is you who will be spending the day. Make sure you enjoy every second of it. ^___^
