New festive campaign from Market Cross and KCLR will grant Christmas Wishes, reward shoppers and celebrate the magic of the season
Market Cross Shopping Centre, in partnership with KCLR, is delighted to launch Christmas Wishes, a new festive campaign designed to reward loyal shoppers, spread Christmas cheer and bring a little extra magic to the season.
Built around the theme “The Place Where Christmas Wishes Come True,” the campaign invites shoppers to share their Christmas wish for the chance to have it granted this Christmas.
Whether it’s gifts for children, a Christmas shopping experience, a family meal out, a special family treat or a wellbeing experience, Christmas Wishes aims to help make the festive season a little brighter for local families and shoppers.
Alongside the Christmas Wishes initiative, customers can also win from a €5,000 Shopping Voucher Fund, featuring four weekly winners of €500 in shopping vouchers and a €3,000 Grand Prize. The campaign will also include the centre’s retailer-sponsored 12 Days of Christmas giveaways, offering shoppers even more opportunities to win throughout the festive season.
Lesley Cleere, Centre Manager at Market Cross Shopping Centre, said:
“Over the past number of years, we have offered a variety of Christmas experiences at Market Cross, including a free Santa event last Christmas. What we found was that many families are increasingly looking for the larger destination Christmas attractions and experiences.
This year, we wanted to do something different and invest directly in our customers. Christmas Wishes is about celebrating the true spirit of Christmas, giving back to our shoppers and helping create special memories during the festive season.
Whether it’s granting a Christmas wish, rewarding shoppers with shopping vouchers or through our online 12 Days of Christmas giveaways, we are looking forward to sharing the magic of Christmas with the people who support our retailers all year round.”
John Purcell, CEO of KCLR, added:
“KCLR is delighted to partner with Market Cross on Christmas Wishes. This campaign captures what Christmas is all about, community, generosity and creating special moments for local people. We look forward to helping spread festive cheer across Kilkenny and Carlow and sharing some wonderful Christmas wish stories throughout the season.”
Shoppers will be invited to submit their Christmas wishes throughout the campaign period, while also entering weekly draws for shopping vouchers and enjoying daily chances to win through the 12 Days of Christmas giveaways.
The campaign creative features a magical winter sky, Santa’s sleigh, a guiding Christmas star and the promise of wishes coming true, capturing the wonder and excitement of the festive season.
