Creating a Memorable Anniversary Celebration

What makes an anniversary celebration impactful? Utilize these 3 tips from CrossIron Mills 10th anniversary celebration to ensure your milestone is a success.

1. It’s Not All About You. As you’ll see from the examples above, CIM goes above and beyond to ensure shoppers are rewarded, engaged, excited and content. All the activations and giveaways are targeted towards their customers enjoyment. Ultimately, you are in business due to your faithful customers, so make sure you pull out all the bells and whistles to make them feel special!
2. Create a Sense of Urgency. Because the event is August 9-19, shoppers only have 10 days to experience the celebrations. Creating a specific time frame increases traffic and excitement. In addition, it’s important to promote your event on social and local advertisements leading up to the event to peak curiosity and attendance.
3. Make it Worthwhile. What’s it in for me? That’s the number one questions attendees ask themselves before committing to an event. Make it evident why people should attend, and give them reasons to attend multiple days. From specific giveaways to performances, give each day a unique element to keep guests coming back for more.
