Simply Promotions has been Wiregrass’s event and marketing partner since 2019. Our relationship started with Simply hosting Markets, and in 2020, we were asked to design a charity pumpkin patch that evolved into the Shops at Wiregrass Autumn Festival in 2024.

The Challenge

he Shops at Wiregrass set out to elevate their retail experience by focusing on key goals:

  1. Increasing foot traffic and customer engagement
  2. Creating memorable, family-friendly events
  3. Strengthening community ties and partnerships
  4. Maximizing marketing impact with limited resources
  5. Attracting diverse demographics to the shopping center
  6. Establishing a signature seasonal event to boost brand recognition

Our Solution

Simply Promotions collaborated with The Shops at Wiregrass marketing manager Ann, to develop two key projects:

  1. Autumn Festival:

  2. Symphony of Lights Launch Party:
