Customer Purchasing Preferences: Global, In-Store, Online, and Generational

FEATUREARTICLE

WELCOME to MSCA’s two-part series on customer purchasing trends and behavior. This month, we provide a global snapshot of in-store and online purchasing behavior, complemented by local purchasing patterns of several MSCA members. In February, we delve deeper by drilling down to explore the differences in purchasing preferences and habits across four generations: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Gen Edgers.

In 2015, PwC (Pricewaterhouse-Coopers International Limited) conducted its eighth annual global Total Retail Survey to shed light on customer expectations and the changing retail landscape. The survey tracks shopper behavior and purchasing preferences from more than 19,000 respondents in 19 countries across 11 retail sectors.

FEATURE ARTICLE CONTINUED: Customer Purchasing Preferences: Global, In-Store, Online, and Generational

To develop a sense of how global trends are playing out on a local level, we asked a small sample size of MSCA members the following questions to learn more about their habits and preferences.

1. What product(s) are you most comfortable buying online?

2. Do you need to try on, touch and feel apparel when you purchase? Or is online purchasing acceptable?

3. What types of transactions do you need to have a high level of human interaction/customer service to complete?

4. Do you use self-check-out lanes at the grocery store or Home Depot?

5. Do you have any retailer apps or text permission on your phone for loyalty, discounts, coupons or notice of sales events?

Several patterns emerged among those surveyed:

• More comfortable purchasing online when familiar with the product

• Prefer shopping online when looking for special sizes or unique options

• Prefer in-store experience when purchasing home improvement and higher ticket items

• In terms of apparel, many prefer tactile experience of trying on piece / feeling the fabric

• When purchasing apparel from a reputable/proven company, more open to purchasing online

• For convenience sake, will use self-check-out when purchasing small number of items, but not first choice

• Instant product availability and convenience are top factors in

deciding whether to utilize retailer apps and text permissions on mobile devices

In next month’s feature article, we’ll share specific insights from the interviews, and explore the definitions and purchasing preferences of the four generations.

The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes in Maple Grove is proud to announce the completion of a project designed to increase up-close parking access to its shops and restaurants. This project added 106 angled parking spots directly in front of the retailers, giving shoppers better access to their favorite stores and restaurants at The Shoppes.

The project included reducing the width of sidewalks, relocating sidewalk light poles and planters, resurfacing the drive lanes and installing angled parking spaces. Beloved features of The Shoppes, including its beautiful year-round landscaping, were maintained under the remodel and new parking layout.

Would you like to meet your MN State Legislator, MSCA style?

FORECAST

Our responsibility

is to communicate

with our elected

officials and inform

them of these important

issues about what we

have to say.

The MSCA Legislative Committee schedule meet and greets called “Legislative coffees” with State Senators and Representatives from the districts in which MSCA members live, work, and own/manage property. These meetings focus on educating elected officials about the industry and communicating our collective industry concerns. This work goes hand in hand with our lobbyists’ daily efforts at the Capitol.

It is a casual legislator coffee meeting hosted in the city of the district. This is a great opportunity to share our concerns as an industry and as individuals.

The purpose for these meetings is to personally meet with your legislators and discuss issues important to you and the Shopping Center

industry. The important issues from the past and present for our industry are Street Improvement Fees, Warehouse Tax and Property Taxes. Our responsibility is to communicate with our elected officials and inform them of these important issues about what we have to say.

A committee member may have already contacted or will be contacting you about verifying your home and work address to contact you about attending these meeting. If you don’t know your district you can go to http://www.gis.leg.mn/OpenLayers/districts. By letting the MSCA know your home address or district number it really assists the committee with MSCA’s future legislative efforts and to keep you informed.

As we have a short session next year due to the Capitol being under construction these Legislative Coffees are prime opportunities to talk one on one to your elected legislators and truly make a difference. It is also an opportunity to educate State Legislators about the Commercial Real Estate business.Next year they will be deciding issues like tax relief, transportation and bonding projects. Now is the time to voice your opinion.

Hope you can make it to your next Legislative coffee!

MEMBER PROFILES

TRUNORTH PAINTING ESG ARCHITECTS, INC.

BRETT JANZEN JOB TITLE: Key Account ManagerAREA OF FOCUS: Commercial Business Development and Client Satisfaction YEAR JOINED MSCA: 2015

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB IN THIS INDUSTRY AND FOR HOW LONG? I was a Painting Foreman over a decade ago, but that was only for a year, because I was a very slow painter. However, all my customers loved me, so I moved to a roll were my lack of physical talents were no longer needed and my IQ and EI were better suited.WHAT KEEPS YOU IN THE BUSINESS? The Relationships. Staring at computer screens and watching paint dry are not as fun as people may think. Building relationship, meeting new people and growing are the aspects that keep me engaged and entertained. WHO HAS BEEN AN INFLUENTIAL TEACHER, MENTOR, OR MODEL TO YOU AND WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THEM? First and foremost would be my father, he has been in sales longer then I have been alive. His constant reminder of ‘treat people how you want to be treated’ and ‘work hard play harder’ are words I live by. In the Industry, I would say I look up to Tom Heuer and Mike Collins. Both men are very successful in their jobs and their commitment to the customer services makes them both notable industry veterans to follow.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE REAL ESTATE RELATED APP? All the ones that have to do with finding a house. They do a great job of keeping my girlfriend entertained so I can play video games.WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WORD THESE DAYS? SoDoSoPa. For those who don’t know it, it can be worth the time to look it up. SoDoSoPa is kind of a real estate term now.WHAT PROFESSION OTHER THAN YOURS WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO ATTEMPT? To be a land lord, it is something I am saving up for to get some passive income from real estate. I would like to retire while my hair is its current color and still on my head.WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BOOK, BUSINESS OR OTHERWISE? The Richest Man in Babylon and How to Win Friends & Influence people. Both books have many great life lessons, and I think they should be required reading for young adults in high school.WHEN YOU RETIRE, YOU WANT TO ___________. Own a vineyard, because they can be relaxing and beautiful. Don’t be confused by me working the vineyard, as I mentioned above my physical talents are not my strong suit. But if I owned a vineyard my family and friends could not give me a hard time for playing video games whenever I wanted and it would be a great place to entertain company.

BETH ROSINSKYJOB TITLE: Project ManagerAREA OF FOCUS: Architecture YEAR JOINED MSCA: 2015

FIRST JOB IN THIS INDUSTRY AND FOR HOW LONG? I worked for a large architectural firm in Boston for a year.WHAT KEEPS YOU IN THE BUSINESS? I love the fast pace and constant change involved in retail design. There’s never a dull moment and there’s always a new challenge. WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE PROJECT/LEASE/PROPERTY THAT YOU EVER WORKED ON IN YOUR CAREER? I’m not sure I can pick just one…I’ve worked on a large number of prototype retail projects and adapting that prototype to a wide range of existing spaces always makes for a unique project.

IF YOU HAD UNLIMITED FUNDS TO INVEST IN A RETAIL FRANCHISE, WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE AND WHY? Bogart’s Doughnut Co. Aside from the fact that I’m a donut fanatic, I love their clean, minimal aesthetic and think it would be a great model for a retail roll-out. WHAT PROFESSION OTHER THAN YOURS WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO ATTEMPT? Real estate or urban planningWHAT IS YOUR MOTTO / PERSONAL MANTRA? “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” I think it’s important to always surround yourself with people you can learn from.WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BOOK, BUSINESS OR OTHERWISE? Amazon — with two young kids, the app is my best friend. WHEN YOU RETIRE, YOU WANT TO lounge on the beach.

Thanks Beth

Thanks Brett

Café ZupasRISINGSTAR

The brainchild of two technology professionals that have a love for food and travel, Café Zupas focuses on providing fresh, fast, made from scratch fare at an affordable price.

The first Café Zupas restaurant opened in 2004 in Provo, Utah. The menu includes soups, salads, and sandwiches with every menu item prepared fresh daily. Inspiration for the soups, salads, and sandwiches comes from the owners’ passion for travel and they strive to incorporate flavors in their food that can be found around the world. Café Zupas offers a World Tour of Soups special which showcases a new type of soup every two weeks that is not typically offered on the regular menu.

Every Café Zupas meal is served with a chocolate-dipped strawberry because the company believes

every visit should feel like a special occasion. The original Café Zupas grew in popularity at a rapid pace and the restaurant expanded to many more locations in Utah, Arizona, Idaho, and Nevada.

The Midwest’s first Café Zupas opened as the first tenant in the CityPlace development in Woodbury. The restaurant opened in mid-September 2015 and is 2,900 square feet. The next Café Zupas location in Minnesota will be in Maple Grove at the Fountains at Arbor Lakes and will have a larger footprint at 4,900 square feet, with an opening date planned for February 2016.

Diversified Construction completed the buildout on the Woodbury and Maple Grove stores, and Babcock Design Group out of

Utah completed the design plans. Locations have also been announced in Eden Prairie and Eagan.

Every Café Zupas meal is served with a chocolate-dipped

strawberry ...
