Westfield Shopping centre Vs. My Mall
Written by chameleonfridays on November 14th, 2008A new concept in shopping has been launched today, My Mall is the worlds first virtual shopping centre. The 3D graphics replicate a real mall with shoppers able to ‘walk’ around all 36 (yes 36) floors and go through virtual store fronts. The shop levels are even in categories to ensure that your money is much easier to spend on the 25 million products available.
The CEO of MyMall Ishmael Bahadur stated “We’ve created an actual shopping mall inside customers’ computers. Even those without broadband can access the site quickly, thanks to recent advances in 3D graphics. Anyone who can go shopping in real life can use MyMall.”
Adding “Besides being faster and more convenient, MyMall is also more environmentally sound. Based on average journey times, we found that 100,000 shoppers using MyMall instead of driving to their local shopping centre could save up to 65,400 tonnes of CO2 every year. “
Over 500 brands, both international and from the UK are contracted, with more waiting in the wings, to sell their addition to the huge range of goods. Currently you can buy anything from clothing and the usual shopping centre fayre, to fast food deliveries and insurance.
“MyMall isn’t like any other online shopping portal. Instead, it replicates a real-world mall in a virtual world. That allows us to promote and brand ourselves just as we would in any of our actual high street stores. This is undoubtedly the next generation of online shopping.” Nicki Proctor from Gorgeous Couture
