15 August 2019 Brand awareness is best developed at an early age Did you know that brand awareness is mostly developed by children between the age of 2 and 10 years old? Marco Lankman, CEO of IKC Global, explains that he notices that he prefers many brands that his parents used when he was a child. For example he refuels at Shell petrol stations and goes grocery shopping in the Albert Heijn, simply because he is used to them and knows their quality. This is because parents have a large influence, both the good and the bad habits are adopted by children. The ADA foundation conducted a survey which proved: All children, regardless of their age, pick parents as their number one role model. How can you use this information to your advantage? Increase the positive brand awareness for your youngest visitors to make sure that they connect with you in the future. How? Encourage parents to visit your establishment as often as possible. Make families feel welcome by ensuring that the kids are at ease and enjoy themselves while the parents eat, browse or shop. In short, by giving parents and children a positive association with your brand, you can connect them to your establishment, which can result in a life time of customer loyalty.

09 July 2019 The added value of a child-friendly environment Imagine: you are out on a family day trip and you have to wait before the next activity starts. Most likely, it is no problem for you to sit and wait for a while. This might be a completely different story for your young son or daughter. If the waiting takes too long, they can get bored and restless. This often leads to irritations for you, your kids and for others. Create a win-win situation As a result, many families are reluctant to go out, preferring to stay at home where the children won’t annoy anyone else. But what if you could find a place to go where the kids will never get bored, even when having to wait their turn? This is an opportunity for you to create a place where the whole family forgets the time, feels welcome and where they want to return to. An IKC play area will create this win-win situation.

02 July 2019 Focus on your youngest visitor In a world where everyone is busy, there is less and less family time and more orders are placed online, it is a big challenge for retailers to attract visitors to their stores. The answer? A place where the whole family feels welcome, forgets the time and returns to. Happy child = happy parent A classic shopping centre saying: "once the child is inside, the parent will follow automatically", and that is our experience: when the child is satisfied, everyone is satisfied. That's why a child-friendly environment offers more opportunities than its name suggests. By placing different play corners or game modules in strategic locations, a natural walking and playing route is created: while the children are having fun, visitors can shop quietly and your employees have time to help them. IKC is the market leader in the area of children's corners. We ensure that children can play and develop in a safe and instructive manner. We do this by constantly innovating and improving new concepts. Contact us! Return to the news overview
