CHATTANOOGA — The gift-giving spirit will remain in full force this holiday season.
According to an online survey* conducted by NRNSM, a National Research Network, approximately two-thirds of Americans say the tradition of holiday gift giving remains an important part of their holiday season. To help today’s shoppers stretch their holiday dollars and get even greater value out of the season, Northgate Mall and General Growth Properties are planning a calendar full of exclusive shopping events, retailer sales, and a special partnership with Martha Stewart Living magazine.
GGP’s holiday program, MerryGivingSM, kicked off October 15 with the launch of www.MerryGiving.com, an online holiday headquarters that highlights special mall events and promotions. Holiday activities at Northgate Mall include:
Holiday Content and Prizes from Martha Stewart Living
· Ideas and Inspirations – GGP has teamed up with Martha Stewart Living to feature some of the magazine’s holiday ideas and inspirations in free, limited-time booklets at participating malls. Shoppers also can find even more helpful holiday content on their local mall Web site. Visit www.MerryGiving.com for details.
· Martha Stewart Living Ultimate Party – Visitors to www.MerryGiving.com can register for a chance to win a Martha Stewart Living Ultimate Party**. The party, for up to 30 guests, is valued at $5,000 and includes decorations, food, drinks and invitations.
