Owner: Ivanhoé Cambridge Inc. & Canapen (Halton) Ltd. Management Company: Ivanhoé Cambridge Inc. Halifax Shopping Centre wanted to position the centre as a trusted fashion source but also reinforce that their fashion mix was attainable to all shoppers regardless of budget. HSC had recognized the popularity of fashion accessories from their native app reports. With this insight and the opening of Michael Kors on the horizon they launched a “Fashion Candy” Instagram contest. The six-week, multi-phased contest sweetened the HSC Instagram community with 96 new followers and doubled engagement with 400 Fashion Candy contest entries. During the contest period total sales per square foot increased by $22 exceeding the goal by 2.5%! Mapleview Shopping Centre is a premiere regional fashion destination, featuring the most sought-after brands in the market, from Apple to Zara. With increased market competition, Mapleview’s traffic and sales figures were beginning to plateau. The centre needed to reconnect with their most influential shoppers. The launch of Mapleviewmuse.com, a new online fashion community that’s a first for a Canadian shopping centre, put Mapleview’s most fashionable fans in the spotlight – offering big wins every month. Through this new platform, Mapleview was able to connect to 600 influential shoppers who would ultimately turn into true advocates for the Mapleview brand. 38
