Feasibility study for a shopping mall project

Study request

A mall project feasibility study is a vital document for assessing the project’s potential for success in a competitive market full of opportunities and challenges. The study addresses the criteria according to which the site must be chosen to ensure the flow of the target audience. It also analyzes the needs of potential customers and their purchasing behaviors, in addition to studying competitors and evaluating their strengths and weaknesses. The study does not neglect to divide the project’s spaces and state its facilities and designated areas such as shops, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, games, as well as parking lots, event areas, exhibitions, and others. To ensure the sustainability of the project, the study details the initial and operational costs, then shows the sources of revenue, the rate of return on investment, the break-even point, and the payback period. The study takes into account the marketing strategy of the mall and explains the mechanism through which the audience can be attracted, such as using social media, sponsored advertisements, and marketing through influencers. In addition to how promotional events are organized and global brands are attracted.

The Service Sector in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries

According to macroeconomic sector theory, the economy is divided into three main sectors:

  1. The Primary Sector: This sector is based on the collection of raw materials and includes mining companies, timber companies, oil exploration companies, as well as agricultural industries and fishing.
  2. The Secondary Sector: This sector relies on goods and their sale, such as the automobile industry, furniture manufacturing, and clothing trade, among others.
  3. The Tertiary Sector (Services): This sector is responsible for providing and producing services, relying primarily on intangible elements, such as entertainment, healthcare, transportation, hospitality, restaurants, and more. This theory posits that as countries develop, their economies become more reliant on the service sector, in contrast to primitive economies that primarily depend on the primary sector. For example, in the United States, the service sector constitutes 85% of its total economy.
