The grand opening of Francesca’s at Santa Fe Place Mall went beyond expectations! SREG provided a comprehensive plan of marketing initiatives to enact before, after and during the opening event.
SREG’s marketing strategy, with the ongoing support of the Francesca’s staff, and the hundreds of customers who shopped led to a successful grand opening.
This placed Francesca’s well beyond their sales plan for the day, ranking #1 out of 700+ boutiques!
“I wanted to extend my sincerest gratitude to the entire team at the Santa Fe Place Mall! In over 16 years in retail I have never had such a fantastic group of partners to work with for a successful grand opening! You are all truly special and I thank you for your support, quick response to help, and for the generous donation of gift cards to market and ensure our grand opening was a success.
