Retail Experience Tour
Marina Bay Sands Outlets | Singapore | Week 1
First Impression of the outlet; Classy & Aesthetically pleasing.
Second Impression; Aromatic & Spacious.
Thoughts; Personally, I feel it gives out a different kind of feeling before & after stepping in, out of the outlet. Probably, It’s because I felt inferior because of the shop’s personality or rather the outlook. I really love how they represent the product, it gives out the expensive & bold feeling. It’s really interesting to see how’s the entrances like, though it’s a little bit confusing. After leaving the shop, the smells somehow leave with me as well. It’s very relaxing & swooning.

First Impression of the outlet; Expensive & too much going on.
Second Impression; Too bright, Classy/Expensive & Interesting,
Thoughts; I don’t really like how it has too many things going on. It feels a little bit too suffocating as it’s not spacious and there’s too much installation of advertisement going on. Aside from that, I find the outlook of the store from the outside, how they have the logo in the middle and screens at the side to advertise that it’s a watch shop.

First Impression of the outlet; Simple & Basic

Thoughts; To be honest, the first time I entered the shop I don’t really think or feel there’s anything different about it but I personally like the layout of the whole store how they did the interior.

First Impression of the outlet; Interesting & Expensive
Second Impression; Aesthetics & Intruging
Thoughts; The first thing that attracted my eyes was definitely the installation they have on the display because is something very unusual and artistic, I’m sure a lot of people would enter the shop to see what is it really that they are selling because at one glance you wouldn’t think that it will be a shop that sells sunglasses or spectacles.
