Management Company: Bentall Kennedy (Canada) LP Owner: OPTrust Retail Inc. Management Company: Bentall Kennedy (Canada) LP The departure of a major anchor and 100% vacancy in a newly renovated section of the mall, along with a steadily decreasing Marketing Budget, had left Sheridan Centre in need of something new that would actively engage shoppers both in-mall and through digital channels. The mall created a multi-layered promotion designed to give a much needed infusion of optimism to merchants and customers. In addition to achieving all objectives, the fundraising goal was surpassed by 133% and cost savings reduced budgeted expenses by 29%. The transformation of the common area demonstrated the mall’s ability to proactively adapt to a challenging retail climate. Give Great this holiday was Village Green Centre’s solution to converting consumers that mostly shopped for convenience items into gift-giving purchasers. The multi-channel campaign included a strategic combination of traditional advertising, digital advertising and sales promotions. Customers soon learned of the wide selection of gifts available and began to shop for the holiday season with CRU sales increasing by nearly 4% and gift category sales increasing as high as 28%. Shoppers flocked to the centre to check out their gift-giving options resulting in a 25% increase in December, a 12% increase during the first two weeks of late night hours, and a 36% increase on the weekend prior to Christmas! 32
