IMMOFINANZ has standardised the marketing for its international STOP SHOP retail park brand, which covers nearly 70 locations in eight countries. The new claim “easy shopping“ summarises the central brand drivers: STOP SHOP is the appealing and practical local supplier with a diverse product offering that provides attractive value for money and can be easily reached through good traffic connections. All promotional campaigns will now be developed in the Vienna headquarters and used for STOP SHOP advertising in all countries. The current “back to school“ campaign marks the kick-off for this new marketing approach.
“Our real estate portfolio is concentrated on brands. They stand for a quality promise to our customers and create trust. A high level of standardisation not only forms the basis for strong market recognition, but also brings cost savings. Instead of developing numerous individual concepts, we are rolling out a uniform concept in all countries. This approach is now being extended to our brand advertising, and STOP SHOP is the starting point“, explained Dietmar Reindl, COO of IMMOFINANZ.
In addition to the persuasion strategy and imagery, the corporate design was also redefined: the logo in the advertising was enlarged and will be transported together with the “easy shopping“ claim and a smiley below the logo.
STOP SHOPs are the IMMOFINANZ brand for retail parks. They are characterised by a standardised format and an attractive tenant mix. The locations are found primarily in catchment areas with 30,000 to 150,000 residents and generally have 8,000 to 15,000 sqm of rentable space. The STOP SHOPs are attractive properties with uniform quality standards, an easy-shopping concept for everyday needs and high recognition value. IMMOFINANZ’s STOP SHOP portfolio currently covers 67 locations in eight countries with approx. 456,000 sqm of rentable space in total and an occupancy rate of 97.7% at the end of June 2017.
