Mall of America® launches new trip planning tool
Tripplanner.mallofamerica.com offers convenience and time savings
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (Dec. 10, 2013) Mall of America® is helping guests plan their shopping trips more efficiently with the launch of the Trip Planner experience. The new site allows guests to curate a list of stores, events, and activities to accommodate specific interests or gifting needs on their mobile device, tablet or computer before or during their trip to Mall of America.
Upon arrival to tripplanner.mallofamerica.com, guests will be prompted to answer a short series of questions about their upcoming visit to Mall of America. For each question, they will be given choices to help them tailor their trip. For example, Im going to Mall of America to:
- get in the holiday spirit.
- explore and find gift-spiration
- shop! Im already behind.
As guests answer the questions, the trip-planning engine filters the hundreds of stores, events and happenings at Mall of America and narrows down to show what might be most interesting to them based on their answers. From there, shoppers can add stores to their list, make notes and continue to plan their trip. Once their trip planning is complete, they can email their shopping list to themselves and have it readily available wherever they are.
We understand that covering 4.87 million square feet at Mall of America can be difficult, but thats why we wanted to offer our guests a simple tool to help manage their trip, said Maureen Bausch, executive vice president of business development, Mall of America. Our new Trip Planner experience will help shoppers prioritize and remember the stores and events they want to visit as well as allowing them to discovering something they didnt realize was here.
In addition to the new trip-planning tool, Mall of America is making the holiday shopping season more enjoyable by offering Holiday Happy Hour throughout the next three weeks of shopping. Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday through Dec. 24 from 1 7 p.m., guests will enjoy complimentary valet parking at the North entrance of the Mall. With the valet parking, shoppers also have the option to text the valet when they are finalizing their shopping trip and will have their car ready and warmed up once they pick it up. Once they have dropped off their car, they can head to any one of the five Caribou Coffee locations and enjoy a complimentary 12 oz. cup of coffee by mentioning happy hour to the barista.
