MESSAGE FROM CENTRE MANAGER

Hi Retailers,

With Easter and Mother's Day behind us, we now look forward to one of our biggest sales campaigns of the year – the June Get Outlet Sale. This flagship event represents a prime opportunity for all retailers to boost their mid-year figures, and we strongly encourage everyone to participate. 

We're delighted to announce our centre's recent achievement in the Big Guns rankings, where we placed 5th highest in sales per square metre among all large shopping centres in Australia. This remarkable accomplishment puts us in prestigious company alongside retail powerhouses such as Westfield Bondi Junction and Chadstone in Victoria, demonstrating our centre's exceptional performance and customer appeal.

We're pleased to welcome our new Retail Manager, Tara Finlen who brings many valuable years' experience working in shopping centres. 

Additionally, we have had several new and relocating tenants joining our retail family in the past months enhancing our overall shopping experience and creating additional foot traffic opportunities within the centre. 

Let's capitalise on our momentum and make the upcoming June sale campaign our most successful yet!

Greg Day
Centre Manager

GET OUTLET SALE JUNE 13-15

June Get Outlet Sale will be held from Friday 13 - Sunday 15 June. Historically, the June event is our biggest Get Outlet Sale of the year and to celebrate we are making it snow down the Harbour Town Eats laneway. The snow will fall across three nights from Thursday 12 to Saturday 14 June, from 5pm to 8pm. For the first time we will also be extending trade on Saturday June 14 till 7pm, this will be supported by plenty of fun and entertainment from 5pm to encourage customers to stay and shop later. 

As always, throughout the day there will be music, entertainment, free popcorn and fairy floss all weekend long, but the real star of the show is the incredible sale offers put forward by YOU!

By now you would have received a memo and email, prompting your store to submit your Get Outlet Sale offer digitally. If you are having difficulty, or have misplaced your memo, please contact us at marketing.goldcoast@htpo.com.au. To maximise your stores exposure during the event, speak to your head office about putting forward a compelling offer, fill out the form and marketing inclusions correctly and submit on time!

Looking forward to another successful event.
