“For us at Majid Al Futtaim, it is key to keep an eye on user and shopper behaviours and how they evolve overtime. We want to find new ways of creating memorable moments every day - and we’re ready to deliver that even on a network of platforms as huge as the metaverse,” said Khalifa Bin Braik, CEO of Majid Al Futtaim Asset Management.
"Our Mall of the Metaverse will be yet another one of our leading retail and entertainment destinations — and surely a huge attraction for customers who crave digital experiences from their most loved brands,” he aded.
“There has been an increased demand for digital experiences in the last few years and we work to leverage behavioural science and data to deliver customers what they want and desire. Our swift consumer observations, followed by an action plan and a series of testing stages, has now led to a fully-fledged project that is a step ahead of online shopping — Mall of the Metaverse. We are still at the beginning phases of the mall’s development, as we look closely at our customers’ shifting needs, desires and expectations,” said Fatima Zada, Director of Omnichannels and Digital, Majid Al Futtaim Shopping Malls
