COVER STORY SHAKING THINGS UP Gigante Grupo Inmobiliario built its Gran Terraza Lomas Verdes (Lomas Verdes) lifestyle center in Mexico and opened its doors in 2010, but getting shoppers to come was a challenge given the stiff competition coming from other centers. So with the 2011 holiday season just around the corner, the mall decided to strengthen its identity by highlighting its décor program, live entertainment, Santa photos and new-to-the-market brands. From October through December, Lomas Verdes delivered a multi-platform marketing strategy that comprised of promotional offers, including a big push for gift card sales, and an advertising campaign whose creative offered a modern twist on Christmas and gave shoppers a reason to try something new. The center’s Shake the Christmas theme led to an explicit and effective call to action: “Christmas will no longer be the same…Don’t change your gift list, change your shopping center.” VIDEO "Shake the Christmas" campaign at Gran Terraza Lomas Verdes 33
