Christmas 2008 Santa Grotto...
It was "Big Give" time in Rotorua City this Christmas. Shop Rotorua organised a Santa Grotto that was a destination point for locals and visitors to 'Give Big' this Christmas. The Charity ultimately benefitting from the promotion was the Salvation Army.
The Project was designed to remind everyone of the Spirit of Christmas so when they shopped to invest in a new extra gift and bring it unwrapped to the Santa Grotto for theSalvation Army to distribute this Christmas to local families in need.
The entire project came together with the generous contributions of finance and services from the following local businesses.
MORE FM for providing Pubic Awareness campaign on Air -"The Big Give" campaign. Supplying the Candy, Santa Boots and Finance for Santa. In addition to this MORE FM gave an extra bonus of over 1000 Moro Bars for Santa to give away.
Activities Unlimited for suppling and Contructing the Amazing Santa Grotto. It attracted more than 1500 photographic sittings in 9 days. All these families had to come back into the city to select the free photo they liked and return again to pick it up. Ultimately encouraging excellent foot traffic in the CBD twice over.
The Daily Post published the dates and times of Santa Grotto plus editorial features. Their adverts where fantastic.
Gould Photographics provided a Free photo with Santa to all who visit the Grotto and their store for the Grotto to be housed.
Thankyou to the sponsors below for providing everything at no charge so the Salvation Army could benefit...
Dressing the CBD for Christmas 2008...
The Shop Rotorua Retail Advisory Board were determined that the CBD would look like Christmas this year. As part of the �Shop Rotorua Function�, we had a sharecost proposal to completely dress Tutanekai Street�Top to Bottom� in Christmas Garlands. LED Lighting and a brand new 15 metre lit Christmas Tree in City Focus would also add to the vision. Additionally Shop Rotorua have developed a Santa�s Grotto (courtesy of the local business community ] plus lucky Santa boots for the children courtesy of More FM.
In a nutshell, for the first time ever the CBD will really look and feellike Christmas. This could not have happenwithout the contributions from the business owners in Tutanekai Street.
A big THANKYOU to all those who contributed to this fantastic project...
