A New Store Needs More Than Just the Excitement of Opening Day

For retail brands, especially those in the children’s fashion industry, a grand opening is more than the beginning of business operations. It is an opportunity to make a strong first impression and create a meaningful connection with customers.

For Balabala, a premium children’s fashion brand, the grand opening of its store at Lotte Mall West Lake, Tay Ho, Hanoi was designed as an immersive experience for families and children.

BGroup had the opportunity to travel to Hanoi to support the brand with event setup, livestreaming, videography, and photography, capturing and preserving the memorable moments throughout the grand opening day.

How Can Customers “Feel” the Brand Spirit from Their First Experience?

Unlike conventional events, a retail store grand opening is an opportunity for a brand to create an emotional connection with customers through its space, visual identity, and real-life experiences.

The key challenges were to:
– Create an energetic atmosphere while remaining suitable for families and children
– Capture the emotions and highlights of the event through livestreaming, videography, and photography
– Ensure a consistent and professional brand presence across every touchpoint
– Deliver a smooth event experience while maintaining a natural and welcoming atmosphere

Capturing the Brand’s First Moments with Care

For this project, BGroup was responsible for setting up event equipment and installations, while also handling livestreaming, videography, and photography throughout the grand opening.

The BGroup team focused not only on smooth event operations but also on capturing authentic moments—the excitement of children, the joy of families, and the vibrant atmosphere of the brand’s first day in Hanoi.

Every frame and every video was created with the goal of helping the brand preserve the emotions of this milestone and build valuable content assets for future communications.

The Value Goes Beyond a Successful Grand Opening

For BGroup, the most meaningful outcome was not simply delivering a successful event, but having the opportunity to support the brand through this important first milestone.

Through the project with Balabala, BGroup continues to demonstrate its capabilities in event management, livestreaming, and visual content production for retail brands.

We believe that a successful event is not remembered solely for its scale or excitement, but for the emotions and lasting impression the brand leaves with customers long after the event comes to an end.
