Ok so it’s been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently – probably a reflection of the amount of time the team here have (not a lot) to be pondering but I couldn’t help but notice how hard shopping centres are trying to increase their footfall.
Moving on from the traditional Lights switch on, Retailer Discount days, Santa’s Grotto choirs and brass bands, here are a few of this year’s new inspiring events:
-
The Oracle in Reading is hosting a Boden pop-up shop until Christmas Eve and for the customers who spend £15 or more inside the centre a free gift wrapping service is available.
-
The Red Bull Formula One team will be attending an event at Midsummer Place in Milton Keynes
-
Life size snow globes at Silverburn
-
One New Change in London is hosting a Dickensian story teller from the Museum of London
-
David Hasslehoff (AKA The Hoff) visiting Cabot Circus, plus there will be an Ice Rink in situ until early January.
-
Real life reindeer in Glasgow’s Princes Square
-
Charity Santa run at White Rose Leeds
It’s enough to put even the coldest of Scrooges in a festive mood (yes I sit with a few, so I should know).
So if retail information is your pressie of choice this month, FSP can be your department store – let us know what you are after and we can supply it.
