Marketing In the retail industry, the success of any investment property is very much determined by the combination of the classic fac- tors “location, location, location”. We have incorporated this well- known rule into our adverts by humorously making reference to the premium locations of our shopping centers. We have also made slight changes to our corporate design by freshening up and modernising its colours. To increase the recognition value of our new corporate design, we placed highly target group-specific adverts emphasizing the new colour scheme in professional pub- lications which were perfectly timed to coincide with the publica- tion of our current financial figures.
