Wondercut for Shopping Malls
Rent the machine. Earn on every photo. Drive measurable spend across your tenants.
The model
You rent a Wondercut machine for placement in a high-footfall zone in your mall. Visitors stop, scan a QR code, take a selfie, and receive a personalised AI portrait — themed to a campaign, a season, or a brand partner. They can share it on social for free, or buy a printed version. Every print sold, you take a percentage of the revenue. The machine rental is a fixed cost. Your revenue share grows with every photo purchased.
And the social content your visitors generate — free, organic, authentic — advertises your mall to audiences you never paid to reach.
The conversion proof
Our partners deployed this mechanic in Bangkok shopping malls with one objective: increase the number of visitors who take action on a promotion. The result was coupon redemption moving from 1% to 30–40%.
The mechanism is the same one we use in Wondercut: create an experience worth engaging with, attach a trackable promo code, and let the visitor’s own social network do the rest. In your mall, this means every portrait includes a unique discount code for a participating tenant. The visitor spends in your mall. The tenant tracks the conversion. You demonstrate measurable ROI to your brand partners.
Three revenue streams from one machine
You earn a percentage of every photo a visitor purchases.
Retailers and brand partners pay to appear inside Wondercut portraits as part of seasonal campaigns, with their logo and creative embedded in every portrait generated during that campaign period.
Tracked via promo codes, you can evidence the incremental spend your Wondercut machine drives to specific tenants and monetise that through your brand partnership agreements.
Seasonal flexibility
The portrait experience is fully re-skinnable per campaign. Christmas. Valentine’s Day. Summer sale. Back to school. Every seasonal moment becomes a fresh engagement opportunity, bringing repeat visitors back to see what’s new and giving first-time visitors something specific to interact with. The machine doesn’t go stale — it reflects your commercial calendar.
The social multiplier
A visitor who posts their Wondercut portrait isn’t just sharing a selfie. They’re sharing an image that is unusual, personal, and tied to your mall’s campaign. That image reaches their entire follower base — people who may never have visited, but who now have a reason to be curious. Every share is a piece of earned media that a paid campaign cannot replicate in terms of authenticity or algorithmic reach.
Simple, low-risk, measurable
Rent the machine. Place it in your mall. Watch the photos generate and the revenue share accumulate. Track the promo code redemptions per tenant. Bring sponsors into the portrait creative. Scale to additional machines as the results justify it. No capital outlay. No dedicated staff. A measurable return from month one.
