Malls have more selection than Amazon? I seriously doubt that, but if there's evidence to the contrary, happy to reconsider.

It's more convenient not to go to the mall. Convenience won't be the seller here.

No single mall can compete w/ Amazon's warehouse and delivery system: it's huge. Many mall stores already do online ordering w/ in-store pickup. There's certainly some room to expand this, but "convenient" isn't the way I'd compare someone bringing it to me and me having to go get it. To me that seems obvious on the face of it, but maybe I'm missing something.

What malls allow for is trying things on. Having a tactile experience with merchandise. More space to provoke impulse purchases.
