Service 02 · Marketing

Attention is a currency.

We invest it where it pays off — in footfall, dwell time and return visits. With campaigns, events and digital activities that fit the positioning.

What it is about

Marketing is not a poster you hang once.

Owners of retail real estate are under growing pressure. E-commerce, demographic shifts, changing city centers — anyone who does not professionalize the marketing effort for their property loses ground. Not spectacularly, but steadily.

That is why we think of center marketing not as a cost item but as a footfall lever. Every euro in the marketing budget must give a measurable answer to a concrete question: which target group do we want to win? Which behavior change do we want to trigger? Which Mieter profitieren davon?

What matters to us: marketing for your property is not an end in itself. It pays into tenant satisfaction. It pays into renewal probability. And in the end it pays into the value of the propertyilie ein.

What we deliver in concrete terms

Six levers that together add up to more than their sum.

We use all communication channels — but only the ones that work for your property.

01

Strategically led merchant association

A merchant association is only as strong as its leadership. We manage tenant participation, budget decisions and communication, ensure transparency and concepts that all tenants can stand behindn — auch die kritischen.

02

Marketing concepts with a plan, not by gut feeling

We develop annual marketing plans that fit positioning, target groups and seasonal calendar. Every measure has a goal, a target group and a KPI. What cannot be measured does not enter the budgett.

03

Events that drive footfall — not photos

Family days, seasonal campaigns, hands-on events: we conceive and run events that bring real visitors. Not the prettiest photos, but the longest dwell times.

04

Digital marketing your tenants can use

Social media, newsletters, location campaigns, local SEO. We work the channels that perform in your catchment area — and provide tenants with content they can use to better reach their own customersser erreichen.

05

Press and public relations

Local media, industry press, city stakeholders: we cultivate contacts, write the stories and turn every leasing deal, every event and every modernization into news that reinforces the propertykt sichtbarer macht.

06

Leasing support with arguments

Marketing does not end at the end customer. We provide the leasing team with the data and stories needed to convince expanding tenants: footfall, target-group profiles, reach — in short: everything that makes a pitch presentation credible.

"Marketing is not what looks pretty. It is what tenants ask for — and visitors reward."

— Our position
Why CM

Three principles by which we measure marketing success.

Creativity with proof of impact

There are plenty of pretty campaigns. We deliver creativity that demonstrably generates footfall. Every measure gets a goal up front and an honest assessment afterwards.

Marketing budget as investment

We treat your tenants' marketing budget like our own money. What does not work gets stopped. What works gets more funding. Sounds simple, rarely is.

Tools we actually use

We use market-leading marketing and analytics tools — but not for the tools' sake, only because they sharpen our decisions. No data, no plan. No plan, no budget.
