5 Proven Ways to Increase Foot Traffic and Engagement in Shopping Malls with AR Mirror

Increase mall engagement and foot fall with AR Mirror

As malls compete with online shopping and evolving consumer expectations, offering just retail isn’t enough. Shopping malls today need more than just shops to attract people. As foot traffic declines and e-commerce booms, one thing is clear—retail alone doesn’t cut it anymore. Online shopping is easy, so malls must offer something different—fun, interactive experiences that people can’t get at home. That’s where the Mekongverse AR Mirror comes in.

This smart mirror turns any screen into a fun zone with games, photo booths, discounts, and personal shopping tips. Here’s how malls can use it to bring in more people and keep them coming back.


Draw People In with Fun AR Games

People are more likely to enter a mall if something grabs their attention. AR Mirror games do just that. With games like “Catch the Fortune” or “Jump & Win,” shoppers can play just by standing in front of the screen.

These games are free and quick. Kids love them, adults get curious, and everyone stops to see what’s going on.

Real Example: Giant’s “Huat-O-Meter” Game
A supermarket called Giant set up a game where people could win coupons. More people came in, stayed longer, and shopped more.

Tip: Change game themes every season to keep things fresh.


Turn Games into Instant Sales with Coupons

Having fun is great—but buying something is better for business. That’s why the AR Mirror gives out instant coupons after games. These coupons expire quickly (like in 30–60 minutes), which encourages people to shop right away.

The games are easy to play but still exciting, and that short time limit adds pressure to buy soon.

Real Example: PLQ’s “Mix & Savour” Game
Members played a sorting game and got e-vouchers based on their scores. This led to more shopping and more people joining the loyalty program.

Tip: Use different prize levels for high and low scores to keep everyone interested.


Give Shoppers Special Games After They Buy

Shoppers love rewards. After someone makes a purchase, let them play a fun AR Mirror game to win more discounts or prizes. It’s a simple way to say “thank you” and keep them happy.

These games also make people want to come back and shop again.

Real Example: PLQ’s “Slash for Savings”
After spending $50, customers played a slashing game. They could win coupons to use in other stores. People bought more, and many used the coupons right away.

Tip: Work with different stores in your mall so prizes can be used in many places.


Use AR Photo Booths to Boost Social Media Sharing

Everyone loves taking selfies. With the AR Mirror, any wall can become a photo booth. Add fun filters, animations, or seasonal designs. Then, run a contest for the best selfie.

When people share their photos online, your mall gets free publicity.

Real Example: PLQ’s “Oh Snap!” Photo Booth
People lined up to take selfies with cute AR effects. They scanned a QR code to upload pictures fast. This brought in even more people.

Tip: Offer small prizes for photos with the most likes or shares.


Give Personalized Shopping Tips with AR Mirror

The AR Mirror isn’t just fun—it’s smart too. With customer permission, it can suggest products based on what they like or need. It might suggest clothes that fit better, makeup that matches skin tone, or even eco-friendly items.

This makes shopping easier and more personal.

Real Example: PLQ’s Smart Vending Machine
Shoppers answered a few questions and got custom product suggestions. It made the experience more interesting and helpful.

Tip: Add short surveys to the AR games or photo booths to get useful customer info.
