Why are retailers using Chicago as a testing ground?

A diverse consumer base, a range of trade areas and lower rent than New York and Los Angeles are among the reasons brands are trying new concepts and formats across Chicagoland, from Wayfair’s first large-format store to new concepts from Amazon, Ikea, The Cube, Live Launch and Cozey. Howard Ruben looks at what makes the region appealing for retail experimentation in Commerce + Communities Today. https://www.icsc.com/news-and-views/icsc-exchange/why-retailers-use-chicago-as-a-testing-ground

Shopping center marketing teams may be missing a large share of the promotions happening across their tenant mix.

Tech start-up Visional sees an opportunity in that gap. Its new Center Demand Engine is designed to collect, organize and distribute retailer promotion data for use across shopping center websites and other marketing channels.

Commerce + Communities Today looks at the common marketing challenge Visional is trying to address, how the platform is intended to work and the broader potential of promotion data for landlords and shoppers. https://www.icsc.com/news-and-views/icsc-exchange/shopping-centers-are-missing-their-tenants-promotions-visional-plans-to-find-them
