the old malls are dying liens what I have talked about this concept on the wine show for years now especially in the tech space the idea of a big-box store is crumbling stores like Best Buy are starting to dry up and disappear but that doesn't mean we don't need brick-and-mortar shops anymore I'm here to show you what I personally think could be the solution let me know if I by hitting the like button down below if you guys want to see more of these kind of concept type videos freshbooks is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get organized save time and get paid faster click now to try it for free for quite some time now going to a big-box electronics store has been rather inconvenient they very likely don't have what you're looking for other than a few diamonds in the rough their sales staff probably have no idea what they're talking about and are just going to fire off specs from the same little card that lists the price which probably isn't very low anyways the staff are also likely on commission and are going to try to upsell you at every opportunity and gave and forbid you ever get on the topic of a service plan because you might not get out alive but can you blame them they're probably underpaid it's very possible that these sales employees at a big-box store are at or below the poverty line and they probably need their Commission gains to get by a sheep situation for both of you overpriced products uninformed sales staff limited selection aggressive and pushy sales tactics often a waste of time and money with a hefty side serving of frustration and annoyance this has pushed a lot of the techy crowd to smaller boutique shops mom-and-pop stores and the on online eat a Lucian's but the showroom idea is still nice a lot of the time we want to see a product in person before we buy it and a limited selection of the small stores in the inherent website nature of an e tail don't allow for that type of interaction enter sin trend the potential saving grace of brick-and-mortar during the reign of Amazon and various other a tailors the focus of sin trend creative Park or the sin trend mall seems to a showroom style experience for new products with a heavy focus on comfort and relaxation everyone I asked working in a shop was clear and open with the fact that they won't really be having special sales and they'll be selling everything at MSRP because of this they know you're probably going to go find a better price somewhere else especially considering there is a really cheap tech mall literally connected to the same building they don't need to be pushy for a sale because sales aren't their metric the companies involved ranged quite a bit but the main pc and mobile tech guys i noticed were msi asu's Intel Acer Lenovo Toshiba HP Sony HTC sent hyzer transcend and razor and that's just a few of what is actually there the floor layout was split into categories the first floor was mainly mobile the second floor was mostly computer hardware and accessories the third floor was cameras the fourth floor was more camera stuff mostly focused on accessories and also some speakers the fifth floor was audiophile headphones the sixth floor was mostly like figurines with Gundams and stuff like that and the seventh floor was little kid and toddler stuff with some other various things scattered throughout like 3d printers on the second floor and this crazy cool racing simulator thing where you actually put on a full racing suit which didn't really fit me but then get into the racing simulator which cost fifty thousand US dollars but then while you go around corners and stuff the whole thing will lift you around and move you and whatnot and it's super cool and you can apparently get an actual racing license there if you take a course and blah blah blah anyways that was cool and that's all the floors for now but in the future they'll be opening five more floors the eighth being Explorer the ninth being dine the 10th being dream the 11th being make and the 12th being show whatever those actually mean on the first floor intel was set up showing a wide range of products and for fun they had these two racing Sims set up which were wild a racing chair and racing wheel hooked up to three massive TVs for an amazing panoramic racing experience again just for fun moving up stairs though is where the real fun started floor 2 was definitely for me stores appear ranged in styles from just being a straight-up boutique gallery like a soos as a comfy couch setup where people can learn how to use their various products with trained staff that will also host your birthday party for you if you're a customer and give you cake and presents so random but also so awesome my favorite store however was the razor store and I'd say it was the most popular store there as well they had everything there from various potential razor gear setups along the outer walls to a laptop LAN a desktop land and even a console fighting game area tucked away in the corner the vibe here was great and they had it going on with a huge range of casual tournaments and a super welcoming environment people are encouraged to just hang out as long as they would like and much like the rest of the stores in this mall the sales counter was tiny and mostly ignored by patrons and staff because it just wasn't the point I could definitely see myself going to one of these little stores if there was one locally for the amateur tournaments especially the hearthstone fireside get-togethers which are awesome let me know what you
