“Fanciest Mall in America” Takes E-Commerce to New Level

Bal Harbour Shops, a luxury shopping center in suburban Miami that has been called the “fanciest mall in America,” has launched an e-commerce platform that allows shoppers to buy products directly from its stores, Forbes writes.

Called Bal Harbour Shops Marketplace, it’s a curated selection of fashions and accessories that are currently featured at the mall’s stores. The goal of the platform is to allow its upscale clientele who are out of town, or who can’t make it to the mall, to browse the store windows online. Customers can pick up products at the store or have them delivered.

Additionally, the Marketplace incorporates heavy doses of content from its twice-yearly glossy magazine, twice-weekly newsletters and social media presence consisting of 250,000 followers.

He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
