They say you are addressed the way you are dressed, little wonder people pay the most attention to the tiniest detail when picking out what they wear including where they shop. You can always pick out your dresses anywhere but then, it can’t be the same result, for instance, you pick out a dress from a roadside vendor because there is no place to try it out you package it home, wear it only to start looking for yourself inside the dress. People tend to go for where they can get comfort and convenience, explains the number of boutiques cropping up everywhere, joined recently by the advent of malls.
Boutique
A boutique (French: [butik]) is “a small store that sells stylish clothing, jewelry, or other usually luxury goods”.The word is French for “shop”

Mall or shopping malls is a generic term for large enclosed shopping centers, A shopping mall (or simply mall) is a North American term for a large indoor shopping center, usually anchored by department stores.

Getting Digital Marketing Right, The Savemore Marketplace Story
What To Consider Before Selecting Where To Shop
Choices
Most times when you go clothing shopping, you don’t have any particular thing in mind, perusing through the clothes can take hours before making your choice. Boutiques cater to a particular niche, one boutique can specialize in vintage dresses or gowns but a mall is open to varieties. A mall doesn’t have any specialization, clothes ranging from male to female wears, different designers, all these afford the shoppers multiple choices to select from.
To every shopper, discovering a place with a wide range of clothes is like stumbling upon a wonderland.
Convenience
Remember the saying about killing two birds with one stone, everyone wants that as Nigerians would say who suffer head help? Jumping from one place to another.
A boutique we all know is all about clothes and sometimes accessories to go with it while setting out to buy dresses, other needs might pop up, right? What do you do when that happens, which is often by the ways, that is why malls are a better option for you. Malls like Savemore, have made it very convenient for their customers to do both at the same time, a one-stop place. As much as boutiques can be all trendy, we want somewhere that offers more.
Price
The economy now we know is not pocket-friendly, not with the way food items have skyrocketed, onions is now gold. Everyone wants to look good without breaking the bank, something they can afford comfortably. Na where person money reach, e dey chook mouth, abi?
Boutiques are known for their overpriced items, seemingly justified as being designer dresses. Looking for something within your budget and still look very stylish, then going to a boutique might be a bad idea. Malls like SaveMore Marketplace offer ranges of dress that will have you looking elegant and your pocket intact at the same time.
