In fall 2014, Pine Centre recreated the events and advertising that took place 40 years ago when the mall’s doors first opened. The multi-channel program achieved 14.5 million advertising impressions; drove centre-wide sales up 3% for December and 26% for tenants who participated in key initiatives; traffic increased an average of 11.3%; $11,000 was donated to Big Brother, Big Sisters; e-club membership nearly doubled; and all with an ROI of 157%! Yorkdale took an unconventional approach for Holiday 2014 with Toronto style maker and internationally recognized model Paul Mason, sporting a long white beard, to become the face of their #FashionSanta campaign. The centre’s one-ofa-kind multi-channel marketing campaign increased top-of-mind awareness of the centre by delivering 48 million gross media impressions, attracted over 33 minutes of television publicity coverage while their #SelfieForSickKids and a series of 15-second video spots broadcast on social media helped deliver an impressive 18% digital engagement rate. Despite the loss of 2,000 parking spaces, Yorkdale achieved sales increases of +14% in November and +9% in December. 34
