This study examined the efficacy of shopping malls�v isual experience and convenience (i.e., exterior and interior changes) and general promotions (i.e., price and non-price promotions) by investigating their level of accomplishing promotion objectives that include consumers�a wareness, interest, trial endorsement, willingness to purchase, and visits/spending. Results showed that in general, shopping malls�p romotions did not effectively accomplish any of the five promotion objectives.
