the old malls are dying lions and I have talked about this concept on the WAN

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:11,040
show for years now especially in the tech space the idea of a big box store

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,920
is crumbling stores like Best Buy are starting to dry up and disappear but

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,920
that doesn't mean we don't need brick and mortar shops anymore I'm here to

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:23,160
show you what I personally think could be the solution let me know if uh by

00:00:43,879 --> 00:00:50,000
some time now going to a big box electronic store has been rather

11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,960
inconvenient they very likely don't have what you're looking for other than a few

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,399
Diamonds in the Rough their sales staff probably have no idea what they're

13
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:02,280
talking about and they just going to fire off specs from the same little card

14
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:06,439
that list the price which probably isn't very low anyways the staff are also

15
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:11,759
likely on commission and are going to try to upsell you at every opportunity

16
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:15,479
and Gabe and forbid you ever get on the topic of a service plan because you

17
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:19,400
might not get out alive but can you blame them they're probably underpaid

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,280
it's very possible that these sales employees at a big box store are at or

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:29,600
below the poverty line and they probably need their commission gains to get by a

20
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:34,399
shy situation for both of you overpriced product uninformed sales staff limited

21
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:39,840
selection aggressive and pushy sales tactics often a waste of time and money

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,960
with a hefty side serving of frustration and annoyance this has pushed a lot of

23
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:50,439
the techy crowd to smaller Boutique shops mom and pop stores and the on

24
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:54,920
online etail Solutions but the showroom idea is still nice a lot of the time we

25
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:58,479
want to see a product in person before we buy it and The Limited selection of

26
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:02,719
the small stores and the inherent website nature of an eil

27
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,799
don't allow for that type of interaction enter sin Trend the potential Saving

28
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:11,800
Grace of brick and mortar during the reign of Amazon and various other eilers

29
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:16,480
the focus of s Trend creative park or the S Trend Mall seems to be a showroom

30
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:21,560
style experience for new products with a heavy focus on comfort and relaxation

31
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:25,480
everyone I asked working in a shop was clear and open with the fact that they

32
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,239
won't really be having special sales and they'll be selling everything at MSRP

33
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,080
because of this they know you're probably going to go find a better price

34
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:37,560
somewhere else especially considering there is a really cheap Tech Mall

35
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:41,840
literally connected to the same building they don't need to be pushy for a sale

36
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:46,319
because sales aren't their metric the companies involved ranged quite a bit

37
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:53,360
but the main PC and mobile tech guys I noticed were MSI ASUS Intel Acer Lenovo

38
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:56,239
tiiba HP Sony HTC Sennheiser transcend

39
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,879
and Razer and that's just a few of what is actually there the floor layout was

40
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:03,560
split into categories the first floor floor was mainly mobile the second floor

41
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:07,519
was mostly computer hardware and accessories the third floor was cameras

42
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:12,200
the fourth floor was more camera stuff mostly focused on accessories and also

43
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:16,640
some speakers the fifth floor was audio file headphones the sixth floor was

44
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:20,920
mostly like figurines with Gundams and stuff like that and the seventh floor

45
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,239
was little kid and toddler stuff with some other various things scattered

46
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:28,640
throughout like 3D printers on the second floor and this crazy cool racing

47
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,799
simulator thing where you actually put on a full racing suit which didn't

48
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:37,120
really fit me but then get into the racing simulator which cost

49
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:40,480
$50,000 but then while you go around corners and stuff the whole thing will

50
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,519
lift you around and move you and whatnot and it's super cool and you can

51
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,439
apparently get an actual racing license there if you take a course and blah blah

52
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:51,560
blah anyways that was cool and that's all the floors for now but in the future

53
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:57,159
they'll be opening five more floors the eighth being explore the ninth being

54
00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:02,040
dine the 10th being dream the 11th being make and the 12th being show whatever

55
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,720
those actually mean on the first floor Intel was set up showing a wide range of

56
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:11,360
products and for fun they had these two racing Sims set up which were wild a

57
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:17,040
racing chair and racing wheel hooked up to three massive TVs for an amazing

58
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:21,519
panoramic Racing Experience again just for fun moving upstairs though is where

59
00:04:19,239 --> 00:04:25,720
the real fun started Floor 2 was definitely for me stores up here ranged

60
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,479
in styles from just being a straightup boutique gallery to stuff like a Seuss

61
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,240
who has a comfy couch set up where people can learn how to use their various products with trained staff that

62
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:42,600
will also host your birthday party for you if you're a customer and give you

63
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:44,720
cake and presents so random but also so

64
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,960
awesome my favorite store however was the razor store and I'd say it was the

65
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:52,280
most popular store there as well they had everything there from various

66
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:57,639
potential razor gear setups along the outer walls to a a laptop land a desktop

67
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:01,919
land and even a console fighting game area tucked away in the corner the vibe

68
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,240
here was great and they had it going on with a huge range of casual tournaments

69
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,400
and a super welcoming environment people are encouraged to just hang out as long

70
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:14,520
as they would like and much like the rest of the stores in this mall the

71
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:19,720
sales counter was Tiny and mostly ignored by patrons and staff because

72
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,880
that just wasn't the point I could definitely see myself going to one of

73
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,240
these little stores if there was one locally for the amateur tournaments

74
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:30,960
especially the Hearthstone Fireside G togethers which are awesome let me know

75
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,600
