ould you like a glass of champagne and strawberries while shopping in your favorite store? Why, yes that would be lovely. Need Wi-Fi and a comfortable couch while your personal shopper selects a variety of options for you to try on? Why, yes that would be delightful. Shopping ‘til you drop is a sport, but shopping in high style is a fine art. Shopping continues to be the #1 activity for visitors, and in an effort to capture the affluent market, shopping centers and retailers have elevated the experience with red carpet arrival, personal shoppers and customized events. Macerich, one of the country’s leading shopping center companies, has shaped luxury shopping environments across the country, from big city delights at Chicago’s The Shops at North Bridge and sunny-day shopping at LA’s Santa Monica Place to desert sophistication at Scottsdale Fashion Square and the extraordinary stores of Tysons Corner Center near Washington, D.C., and much more.

During a girlfriends’getaway to Scottsdale, take advantage of a luxury shopping tour complete with a shopping guide, personalized itinerary of stores and transportation – the ultimate in a redcarpet experience. Visit with Peter, the roving concierge at Scottsdale Fashion Square, who escorts you to your favorite stores, holds your bags while you shop and carries them out to your waiting car service. He knows every secret parking spot and special event. During spring training, Peter took visiting fans to Tiffany & Co. to see the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 2001 World Series Championship Trophy on display. At Tysons Corner Center in Washington D.C., there’s a special day waiting for any mother/daughter duo at American Girl, complete with shopping, dining and styling. And on key dates, the store ties in to seasonal events such as a ballet performance at the Kennedy Center and a sightseeing tour during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Whether it’s a glass of bubbly, a personal touch or a custom experience, this is shopping at its finest – a different stratosphere of shopping – where memories are made and favorite vacation stories begin.

Step onto Michigan Avenue in Chicago and walk your Christian Louboutins into any store your heart desires. The Shops at North Bridge offers a collection of chic stores anchored by Nordstrom, which provides a personal shopper and an unparalleled level of customer service. Dining, too, is a fine art here, with compelling choices that soon will include Eataly, the sought-after Italian market and restaurant. Stroll through Santa Monica Place on LA’s Westside and enjoy the California sunshine mixed with high-end stores including Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Ted Baker London, Tiffany & Co. and Bloomingdale’s. Here, many stores host private events. Enjoy refreshments and

SAVVY SHOPPERS FLOCK TO OUTLETS

utlet Shopping continues to be among the hottest trends in USA Retail. “Currently there are more than 200 Outlet Centers in 42 states, with nine new outlet centers planned to open this year. Even more importantly, the luxury brands that are now a big part of the outlets are very attractive to international travelers,” said Stephen Fine, Partner, OutletBound and Founder of CrossBorderShopping.ca, a popular website for Canadians who shop in the USA.

OUTLET SHOPPING TIPS By Lisa Wagner, Chair of the Outlet Marketing Alliance and Principal at EWB Development

1. Do your shopping research. Consult OutletBound.com to find outlet centers in the geographic areas you are interested in or to locate the outlet stores of your favorite brands. 2. Access the center’s website for more details on sales, events and special offers. 3. Plan your trip – I like to print out the center map and highlight the stores on my ‘can’t miss list’. Then I create a plan including where to park, the most efficient route through the center, and even where to stop for coffee or the restroom.

OutletBound.com is the #1 Google ranked website for Outlet Malls and was recently relaunched with more user-friendly features including Google translation, maps and smartphone compatibility. “The site lists all USA outlet centers and stores,” notes Randy Marks, Partner, OutletBound. “It’s the most comprehensive site in the outlet world with a very loyal following of serious outlet shoppers.” The first annual USA Outlet Shopping Festival, presented in partnership with MasterCard Worldwide, OutletBound.com and Brand USA, launched in May 2013 at dozens of USA outlet centers and featured national retail brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Reebok, Rockport, Puma, Nike, Brooks Brothers, Bloomingdales—The Outlet Store, Calvin Klein, PacSun, Maidenform, Izod, Van Heusen, G.H. Bass & Co., Kitchen Collection, Le Gourmet Chef, DressBarn and more! Outlet Marketing Alliance and Shop America Alliance are planning the 2014 Festival. For dates and details, visit outletfestival.com.

SHOP AMERICA

4. Become a CLIENT. When you find a salesperson that provides you with good service, make a personal connection and ask if they can add you to their client list. Most companies encourage their sales team to develop a clientele, and that can lead to advance notice of special offers and a personal shopper at the other end of your phone or email! 5. My BEST tip of all is to Sign Up for Savings – seek out and join the frequent shopper and loyalty programs offered by most outlet centers – like the VIP Frugal Fashion program at all EWB centers or the Shop America Tours Club. Create a dedicated, free email address in Gmail or Yahoo and use that for all of your program memberships. That way your Inbox isn’t inundated with emails, and you have them all in a single file. The discounts and specials offered through these programs are fantastic, so take advantage!
