The original idea behind outlets was to sell off excess/faulty stock. Now more than 80% of outlet stock is made for outlet, so using cheaper materials to sell for profit at the outlet price. The other 20% of stock is pretty much at the usual boutique prices. There are no bargains worth the trip.

@@downsjmmyjones101 People still care about brands. I believe the original posters first comment is correct; this is more about the concept of "discounts" vs "deals". While they still have discounted goods, outlet stores very rarely offer name brands at any sort of deal that is worth it to consumers anymore. That is why they are struggling. A Nike sweatshirt used to be $60 retail and $30 at an outlet. People that wanted a Nike sweatshirt but didn't want to pay full price were willing to go to an outlet to have the product at a price they could swallow. Today a Nike sweatshirt may be $100-$120 retail and the outlet may have it discounted to $70. While it is still a "discounted" price for that name brand sweatshirt, the price is no longer palatable for those looking for a deal. $70 may be a discount, but it is very far from a deal. It has forced those consumers to look at non-name brand products instead; not because they want to but because they have to. They still want the Nike sweatshirt, they just aren't willing (or maybe able) to pay that much for one when you can buy a no-name brand for $20 online. I look at Nike (or fill in the name brand) sweatshirts that I like all the time but I refuse to pay that much. Its not that I don't care about the brand or that I don't prefer that brand; its that I am too sensible with my money to spend that much for a sweatshirt. My final point on consumers still caring about brands is this. My daughters love the white fox brand for sweatshirts. They are soft, comfortable, and trendy. They are also expensive and shipped from Australia. The company doesn't get regular purchases from our family but when we have a birthday or Christmas roll around those sweatshirts always show up on the list and we splurge (hopefully with a sale). So I very much believe consumers still care about brands.

Well, if that’s the case so why even show up to the store we might as well just do it ourselves online in the first place and avoid the potential for wasting time and gas going to the store and in turn having an online order.

Outlet malls went from being the home of rejected but mostly GOOD quality products with a quality name behind them to being simply lower quality than the already poor quality products (with the exact same name behind them). I point to LL Bean as an example of this happening pretty much in real time. They went from having an unlimited warranty to only have a single year warranty on their products (along with not allowing the replaced product to be returned if THAT one fails as well). They attributed a combination of factors, but it included the changing clothing techniques (lesser quality zippers, sewing techniques changing to allow for style over function).

In Las Vegas, where tourists think they're actually getting a deal going to outlets, locals know that the outlets of 20-30 years ago, no longer exist. You would go to the outlet knowing you were getting off-season merchandise because it was A LOT cheaper. You were ok buying shorts in the winter or long sleeves in the summer, because you didn't care about fashion. Now Outlets are just regular malls, branded as outlets, to make people think they are getting a deal. To compete with online stores, outlets should price their merchandise the same as it is online or only slightly higher, like $2 more. People would go to the outlet, just to not have to wait 2 days for their item. But if it's $10 more in the store, they'll wait. But again, what made outlets successful, is that things were SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. That's why you would drive to the middle of nowhere to go to them. Now, their prices are the same as everywhere else.

I HATE shopping. Things are of such low quality or when you go into a 'better' store, the prices are so absurd. You go to a medium priced place where in the past you bought a t-shirt knowing it would last you 8+ years. Now you go into any store and you know just by touching and looking at the item, that it is going to fall apart within a few washes. And not to mention the sale madness. You see a shirt you love, it's 100 dollars, fine, you buy it, but a few days later it's on sale for 30%-50%. So do you become the bad consumer and bring it back, get your 100 dollars back to buy the same for $60? Or worse, same brand, but they have an online sale and everything you saw in the shop is %10 off with free shipment. I'm scared to buy anything now because I fear it will become cheaper on sales, but maybe during the sale my size will be sold out?! Plus we are more aware of the environmental impact of the textile industry, so why aren't there better quality control mechanisms? (and yes, I prefer to buy 2nd hand these days. It's cheap and often much better quality!)

Many reasons: - most brands now offer their clearance items online. They don’t have to worry about hiring store reps and high rent for outlets stores. - the rise of 4-payments option allowing buyers to get their stuff online and split the cost over time. - the rise of online competition where you could literally get the same discounted Gucci Bag from Amazon and other online retails for prices cheaper even than Gucci’s outlet store. It’s only a matter of time before the outlet malls disappear or relocate to rural areas where shopping by mail is not an easy option.

Depends on the outlet. I’ve been buying my winter jackets at the Northface outlet for the past decade and I am pleased with everything I’ve purchased there. The prices are far more reasonable than their normal retail prices. On the other hand, the J.Crew factory store, which is their outlet, has really low quality stuff. It’s cheap, but it also shows. So, some stores you’re better off buying from the official store in my opinion

I used to spend a lot of time shopping at stores in outlet malls, looking for bargains. I would need things to cost 20 to 35 cents on the dollar in order for it to be worth buying. I practically NEVER found anything at a deep enough discount. So there were all these trips I made and all these hours shopping, but I never bought anything because nothing I wanted or needed was ever cheap enough. So yes, I have abandoned outlet malls, just as the title of this video suggests.

They've completely gotten rid of the original reason to go there, so why even bother?

Outlet malls isn't really an outlet mall. Literally, you drive 20 miles or more to visit an Outlet mall and they literally have 5% of the merchandise at Outlet prices. And these items ranges from crap nobody buys after 3 years being on the shelf, a Superbowl shirt from 2 years ago, or a broken coffee maker. The rest you can buy at any other mall. Outlet is more of a ploy to bring shoppers in, it may worked some years ago...but now majority of these shoppers see that it's not really an Outlet (Bargain) mall.

I'm surprised more closed malls haven't been turned into outlet malls. Part of the problem of outlet malls is accessibility. They are usually in harder to get to locations because of land costs, but if they were more accessible for people who don't always have cars at their disposal there could be great potential for new shopping options.

Because of the fast internet and the growing number of mobile phone users. More and more individuals prefer to shop online instead of visiting shopping malls. Today's young people no longer gather to bond because we now have "group chat". TVs at home are no longer used for bonding or being with family and friends, but rather as a decorative item. This is just one of those things that will gradually go away, and I'm not sure where it will take us... But I just wanted to share... I miss those times when you go out and rent a VHS at a video rental business; your energy is high because you're browsing for movies, possibly due to enjoyment or excitement. If I compare today... While sitting on the sofa with the remote control, I'm running out of time scrolling through a Netflix movie till I get dizzy and fall asleep.

The actual strategy for outlet malls has been to put them far away, as consumers are more likely to purchase something if they’ve had to travel a far distance to get there, as not “waste “the trip. Not to mention lower real estate prices in remote areas. Basically, you’ve driven all that way so you had better find something by schlepping around the entire mall. In states like California, where the malls are located in hot dry locations, it can be so oppressive because they don’t put up shade and benches to relax, with an intention to keep people moving from air conditioned store to air conditions store. As we’ve gotten older, and the temperatures have gotten hotter, we no longer shop these malls . We only stop in to buy something specific at the few stores that we like… like Coach, which is selling colorful if not high-quality products developed specifically for the outlet malls. And we only stop in when we’re traveling and happened to pass. Simon has made so many of its properties inhospitable that it’s simply not worth the trouble.

Think of it this way. Imagine when you go to the shopping mall and how it feels to be around that vibrant atmosphere, the smell of the food court, the sound of people, the lighted signs of the various stores, the excitement of finding something in person that fits you just right - and compare that to scrolling through a bland website or app on your phone, at home, alone. There’s no comparison. We can’t just completely let the in person element of our society go. Humans need to be around each other and stay connected not just through little pieces of glass and plastic

My theory is that vast majority of people tries to keep up with the Jones. That means they have to buy labels. Think coach, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren etc. But outlets started to sell all these brands that anyone can afford including the not so well off. So the brands can be seen worn by everyone. The Joneses competitors can't shop those brands anymore because everyone has the same brand and everyone knows you're either wearing outlet purchase or it's a knock off. You can tell who is actually wealthy and who is pretending.

Malls had an advantage of being convenient but now that doesn't apply. Someone can live in CA and shop from a seller in any of the other 49 states and/or globally to get a better deal. There is no real benefit any more to shop at local mall outlets. It's so easy now to buy directly from the Brands you love and they offer great sales. At least 4 times a year Levi's runs sales where I am able to get jeans for around $12 with free shipping, use a cash back app and a discounted gift card and price comes down to $10 all without leaving home. Mean while the same jeans at those outlet malls would be 3x or 4x higher. It's a no brainer.

From what i know, malls in the US mostly in the middle of nowhere, whereas in Asia mostly in the city center. Also malls in here aren't necessarily super big like in the US, so they don't have operate at large scale as long as the tenants are in demand.
