The Mailbox has launched an integrated app which takes personalised shopping to a new level. A world-first in retail, the app


uses location-aware technology and permitted data insight to recognise and communicate with customers in real-time before they arrive, during and after their visits, and gives them access to unique tailored content and rewards. At the heart of the new app is


the Exclusive Club – a first of its kind loyalty scheme that rewards customers for every pound spent in the Mailbox, from the car park, shops, restaurants and bars to the salons, cinema and hotels. Exclusive Club members can


redeem their points against a carefully curated menu of offers and money-can’t-buy experiences, with surprise rewards based on the


‘Our customers are more connected than they have ever been’


frequency of visits, spend and wishlist choices. App users can also browse a


catalogue of the latest products and promotions and add items to a personal wishlist, which can be hared via social media. The Mailbox’s shops and


restaurants can respond and interact with each customer, based on their personal preferences. In addition to accessing the


Mailbox’s super high speed Wi-Fi, customers can make table reservations and pre-order food at participating Mailbox restaurants, book tickets to Mailbox events, and read and interact with the brand new Mailbox Life digital magazine.


Working their way back: Jersey Boy stars (L-R): Declan Egan, Michael Watson, Simon Bailey and Lewis Griffiths


The Mailbox app will give


customers full access to inspect, control and manage their data at any time, putting privacy in the hands of the user, including the ability to delete any records as their ‘right to be forgotten’, and control the level of messaging they receive. David Pardoe, head of marketing,


retail and tenant engagement, said: “Our customers are more connected than they have ever been, and their expectations for seamless, end-to-end shopping experiences are intensifying. “By transforming the Mailbox into


a connected environment, the centre has become an intelligent space, understanding the demographic make-up of its visitors.” The Mailbox app is now available


to download now from the App Store with the Android version coming soon.


Students impress at Persimmon


Four groups of Solihull College & University Centre’s bricklaying students have completed work experience at one of the UK’s most successful house builders, Persimmon Homes. The student’s impressive


commitment and drive over the summer has subsequently led to five taking up bricklaying apprenticeships with the company. Working on site with


experienced builders they learned a variety of skills alongside bricklaying, including health and safety, classroom tuition on manual handling and housekeeping. Among their achievements, was the completion of a structure to contain an electrical substation.
