August 2016 Marketing Call

Back to School Time!

Oakwood Mall

Crazy Days Event

Worked with Eagle Marketing – their social media coordinator who targeted different demographics through Facebook. We also did a couple of videos to showcase some of the different stores. This worked great! Not only were the events on Saturday were well attended the traffic and sales Thursday – Sunday were high.

Conestoga Mall

This year we combined Public Safety Day and Sizzlin Summer Sales….proven success!!

We added the following items to Public Safety Day:

  • Crane flying the American Flag (what a presence it made from a distance!)
  • Live entertainment (singers, cloggers, and cheerleaders)
  • Lunch to all participants  was provided by our mall restaurants as a way of saying thank you. We had so much food!
  • Tent for outside (weather was predicted to be near 100 that day)
  • Live radio remote
  • Live FB  videos
  • Some participants were inside and some were outside
  • Challenge sheet (go to each booth and get a signature). Turn in the sheet for your chance to win a mall gift card
  • English and Spanish T.V. Interviews
  • Advertised on Spanish radio and newspaper

Back to School BASH-Wizard Theme

  • Gave away 150 backpacks
  • Three sponsors this year that helped pay for backpacks and tags
  • Kids were in line by shortly after 6 a.m.  Giveaway was at 10:00 a.m.
  • Each student in line received a backpack with some supplies (approx. 125) with about 25 left over that were handed out at customer service.
  • Changes: Event was from 10:00-2:00.  I would suggest shortening the event. Also relook at the timing of backpack giveaway.  Since people had stood in line for so long they didn’t stick around the mall long after the backpack giveaway.

School Supply Scavenger Hunt  
Successes:  Made local news station and had a huge turnout.
Challenges:  TOO many people the first year, I planned for 100 (125) but still did not have enough.  Mad guests because we let them start early.  Had to purchase all supplies out of my own budget.

Next year: seek sponsorships and have more staff on hand.
Make a bigger “school event” day out of this instead of just the scavenger hunt.
