Who uses the DMM data and ShoppingCenters.com website and why?

Retailers – Both Major retail chains and up and coming retailers use DMM to locate and analyze new locations, review existing markets as well as pinpoint the competition

Specialty and Seasonal Retailers, such as those leasing carts, kiosks and in-line space on a short-term basis year round or just during the holiday season. DMM helps identify those major centers with specialty leasing programs and the specialty retail leasing contact.

Owner/Developers and Management companies who build and manage shopping centers and malls use DMM as a valuable reference tool. DMM helps them analyze the tenant mix of other centers in their area, other locations of stores that are tenants in their projects and keep track of what companies oversee other major retail locations.

REITs

• Analysis of Center types, visitor profiles and cross-shopped centers in relation to properties they own or nearby competing centers.
• Identifying desired tenants & tenant mixes is other centers to attract similar or specific tenant to the REIT’S properties.
• Acquisition analytics as need for buying or investment decisions.

Commercial R/E Brokers

• Tenant prospecting and identification of co-tenancy opportunities.
• Commercial purchase opportunity assessments.

Financial Institutions and investments companies managing stocks owning shopping centers use DMM. This segment of the industry needs to react quickly to changes in the industry such as store chain closings and openings, the sale of portfolios of shopping centers and malls sales, new developments and construction and properties affected by natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods. The investment portfolios they analyze are affected by this type of activity on a daily basis.

Some examples are: When a major department store chain files bankruptcy or a retailer decides to close all the locations of one of their chains, which centers are affected? Who owns these properties? How much of their property portfolio is affected by closings? What effect will that have on the overall stock value for both the landlord and the retail chain?

Suppliers and service companies who are selling their products and services to shopping center owners, managers, leasing agents and marketing directors. Plus prospecting to tenants in the centers themselves. Use DMM to identify and contact new prospects and sales leads at the individual centers. The CLASSIC with Export subscription tier is a great option for these users who only need to export contact information.

Marketing, Promotional and Media companies use DMM to promote businesses through marketing campaigns, identify shopping centers with their target consumer audience using the demographics and segmentation data.
