It’s 2013; Canberra celebrates its 100th anniversary and Canberra Centre celebrates its 50th anniversary, so let the celebrations begin! Canberra Centre (formerly Monaro Mall) was officially opened by Prime Minister Robert Menzies on 6 March 1963. At that time, Canberra’s population was just 50,000; in 2013 it is over 380,000. Canberra Centre continues to meet the expectations of a CBD shopping centre, offering unique and international retailers to the market and cementing its position as Canberra’s premier shopping Centre. To celebrate, we have a comprehensive marketing program planned (see page 3) and we are thrilled about the retailer changes underway in 2013 including the introduction of Spanish retailer Zara on Level 1, Hype DC and Matchbox kitchenware opening in the coming months and there is more to come! We are also excited about an ambience upgrade of Canberra Centre’s mall furniture with new seating, rugs and plants. We look forward to sharing more exciting changes with you in the coming months as we celebrate this 50th year of Canberra Centre in 2013. Happy Birthday Canberra Centre! Kind regards Karen Noad Senior Centre Manager centremanager@canberracentre.com.au

Secondary elements
With approximately 35,000 local area workers within the CBD, and 23% of these shoppers using Canberra Centre as their main Centre of choice for food and grocery shopping, an opportunity exists to grow sales from this valuable market. Use of top-up food shopping reminders before customers leave the Centre will work to drive traffic to the fresh food stores and increase food specialty spend. The strategy is to convert Centre shoppers into fresh food shoppers using quick key messages with menu options, recipes and food sampling. The Winter season will include a series of food demonstrations and a Winter food gift with purchase campaign.
Mother’s Day campaign will include an online gift guide, visual merchandising and a gift with purchase promotion. Retailers will have the opportunity to participate in the gift guide, emailed to over 10,000 Canberra Centre VIP members.
