Christmas Windowland 2009 - All Dressed Up

How amazing was this Friday evening, 27 November 2009?! Did you ever, in your wildest dreams, anticipate the turnout and support we enjoyed during the Christmas Windowland promotion staged between 18h00 to 21h00.

Our Centre was packed to capacity like never before which verifies that we may eventually have found the ‘formula' to replace the popularity of our bygone fireworks displays. From corner to corner, shoppers clambered to window fronts, absorbing the magic created by the bold, the beautiful and the simply outrageous! Our hearts burst with pride as this experience went way beyond simply creating a promotion aimed at boosting coffers. Although it's always ‘all about the money', the vibe and joy experienced during this 3 hour period remains priceless. It appeared as if for the 3 hour period, worries and troubles took a back seat. We gave shoppers (and each other!) a reason and an opportunity to experience something extraordinary that will be remembered for a long time to come.

Christmas Windowland Tenant Winners

Date: 27 November 2009 from 6pm – 9pm.

Cresta Centre was packed to capacity like never before which verifies that we may eventually have found the ‘formula’ to replace the popularity of our bygone fireworks displays. From corner to corner, shoppers clambered to window fronts, absorbing the magic created by the bold, the beautiful and the simply outrageous! Our hearts burst with pride as this experience went way beyond simply creating a promotion aimed at boosting coffers. Although it’s always ‘all about the money’, the vibe and joy experienced during this 3 hour period remains priceless. It appeared as if for the 3 hour period, worries and troubles took a back seat. We gave shoppers (and each other!) a reason and an opportunity to experience something extraordinary that will be remembered for a long time to come.

The idea was to afford the whole family an unrivaled, fantastical opportunity to witness and experience the transformation of a retail destination to a dream destination. A breath of fresh movement, colour and splendor replaced static window displays – like photographs coming to life.

Tenats were encourgared to create a live window display by adding a “touch of the unusual” via a humaized display with a twist of Christmas complimentary to the merchandise in their store. Creativity was paramount. The results were as follows:

Winners:
1st Prize : Vodacom
R5000 Gift card - Interpreted their current ad campaign on TV “All The Single Ladies”
2nd Prize : Incredible Connection
R3000 Gift card - Somebody swimming in slow motion taking photographs with an underwater camera.

R2000 Gift card - Local Afrikaans rock band NKD made an appearance and danced in their window
3rd Prize (tie) : Vision Optometrists
