Holiday Promo GraphicsAs shoppers get into the spirit of the holiday season, JLL has positioned its centers under management as The Holiday Hot Spot: Connecting You to All Things Holiday. JLL’s new Holiday Hot Spot campaign provides shoppers at JLL-managed centers with a one-stop shop for all this season’s must-have gifts, but also offers a place to experience holiday entertainment, create memories, connect with family, friends and the local community and discover its diverse retailers.

“The holiday season always arrives before we know it, and it’s gone in the blink of an eye,” said Ashlyn Booth, Vice President of Consumer Marketing, JLL. “JLL-managed centers aim to provide a top-notch shopping experience throughout the entire year, but during the holidays we find that many customers approach holiday shopping as a chore rather than a treat. The Holiday Hot Spot program aims to create a unique experience that reengages shoppers, gives them a chance to slow down and appreciate the camaraderie with family and friends.”

More than half of retailers expect an uptick in shopping traffic this holiday season, according to JLL’s 2015 Holiday Sentiment Report, which includes feedback from largely national or global retailers in JLL-managed shopping centers across the United States. To capture shoppers, 30 JLL-managed centers will be localizing and customizing Holiday Hot Spots for shoppers including: photos with Santa, performances, charity toy drives, gift wrapping and retailer promotions. The centers will also offer shoppers the opportunity to win prizes by participating in the in-center photo promotion called The Photo Spot.

Centers will offer shoppers six different photo experiences: Elf Yourself, Gingerbread Men, Naughty or Nice, Ugly Sweater, Ornaments or a Joy, Peace & Love Christmas Card. Shoppers can pose with the six different photo displays throughout the centers and post their photos to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with a custom hashtag for a chance to win a weekly prize. The Photo Spot will run from November 27 through December 20.

The Holiday Hot Spot promotion not only allows shoppers to connect with the varied retailers throughout our centers, it supports the retailers own promotions,” added Beth Faulkner, Vice President of Consumer Marketing, JLL. “JLL’s survey found that 12 percent of retailers this year will offer an experience and 42 percent will offer a free gift with purchase to customers to help drive sales and traffic.”
