Old Principles and New Tech equals Better Marketing.
This 'bare-bones' version of KM is to introduce businesses, Vendors, and Shoppers to this new way of Shopping Local.
Clothing and Accessories
The Plaza- a groundfloor version of "mall"- follows the same template you see here. "Piazzas" are second-floor plazas, and "Porticos" are third-floor plazas.

The "Mix" of businesses is calculated according to current research, but also on the activity as measured by Google Analytics. When complementary businesses attract more visitors, it is static, and can change as needed.
Phone users Click the picture above, or buttons below.
Kootenay Mall Plaza is a welcoming page- also in this same format- where visitors can find more information about Kootenay Mall. On this page it is front and center, but can be moved to accommodate local businesses.
When Kootenay Mall is fully active, these 'cards' will have more links than text.
Only the Beginning.
Kootenay Mall is next-level proximity marketing.
The "Mix" of businesses follows the same pattern across all streets and cities: Buildings go from A-Z, Left to right. Clothing is always building "A".
Books and Hobbies always building "H". Higher prices always one floor up.
As KM grows more options can be added to accommodate Local Shopping.
Lawn and Garden
You are beginning to see how KM vastly simplifies the internet search. Shoppers don't even need to know what they are looking for, or where. It is now all totally predictable.
This format puts the link to your website right in front of the customers you are looking for.
Local Produce
Local Vendors are a huge untapped resource mainly because it has been so easy for Shoppers to buy from elsewhere, and the options for sourcing local have been so limited.

Sports and Outdoors
Proximity Marketing is the main value of a mall, or a shopping district. Kootenay Mall brings that value straight to Shoppers via computers and phones.

The names you see here are simply places local to Nelson. Each city will have its own particular names, but the Mix will always be similar.
If your business is locally owned, and operates in more than one city, consider a dynamic banner with a link to your website here.
Piazza D
Home and Kitchen
The Piazza, which is just another name for a plaza on KM is a second floor space. The picture is a link to the full page with more links, but this card will also have links to local stores. Mostly, only buildings with a second floor or higher will have a Piazza, Portico, or Terrazza.
Portico "E"
Books, Hobbies
Opening up a brick and mortar store is so risky. Now there is a very affordable way for even the smallest vendor to stay afloat. All they need is a website and a subscription to KM. Truly, the only limits are what local businesses can source for local Shoppers.
Portico D
Bedroom, Bath, and Decor
The Portico on KM is a third floor space. Look for higher-end products and a slightly different MIX of stores. Shoppers will also notice that, while the options on your phone are handy and easy, the larger screens of a computer or laptop will offer more options for finding local vendors.
Kootenay Mall is an opportunity for small towns as well.
How charming would it be if Shoppers from outside the Kootenays could find your business in your town?
KM is also an effective way for a pool of businesses to advertise outside of the Kootenays.
