		<description>I assume you are responsible for driving foot-traffic to the shopping center; that is, just getting the people there.  The final sale would be up to the businesses in the center.  

DIRECT MAIL:
If the stores in the center are the types of businesses that can offer a special discount or incentive to come in, you should look into doing a direct mail coupon/discount mailer that has &quot;special savings&quot; from each of the stores in the center.  Collectively, if all the stores have an ad/coupon in the mailer, it would be a greater incentive to the customer to take advantage of discounts that are all in one shopping center.  I&#039;d mail out the mailer to 25-30k residences with in a 5 mile radius of  the shopping center, 

 
PROMOTIONAL:
- A sponsored wine, food and shopping night featuring all of your stores. Free for one night.  You can make this a dress-up event or a family event depending on the type of people who shop at the center.  This will be good for exposure, but it&#039;s uncertain how much long-term business this will generate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
