2015 HOLIDAY SPONSORSHIP DETAILS
Dear friends and colleagues, Happy Holidays! This is my first holiday letter to author. Etiquette guides for holiday letters tell me to resist the urge to brag about accomplishments in a holiday letter. Yes, I googled it. I hope that you ll bear with me as somewhat ignore that recommendation. When I started the pop-up shops in 2012, I had no idea that we would gain the momentum and support that we have over the last few years. Many of you have shopped weekly each season or contributed sponsorship dollars to the event thank you for helping us make this event so special. After three years, thousands of customers have stepped foot in our shops to meet these wonderful business owners that bring creativity and diversity to our Oklahoma business landscape. It s a huge responsibility to produce an event worthy of this and it inspires me more every year that we do it. We boasted our highest sales and foot traffic (an est. 40,000 people) last year and, with News 9 s help, contributed several thousand dollars to the Regional Food Bank s Food for Kids campaign. Participating shops reported that they were able to introduce new customers to their permanent location and gain a long-term following out of the event. Our event helps these shops succeed and, not only is that my mission, I believe that it s important to Oklahoma also. No two years of the Holiday Pop-Up Shops has been the same. In 2013, we reopened in Midtown and added the domes and the Bishop John Carroll Christmas Tree lot. In 2014, we relocated to the corner of 10th and Hudson and the Midtown Christmas Tree appeared. This year, we want to re-engage the community that has supported us. Expect more live music, more events at the pop-up shops, more giving back and most importantly, the largest impact that we can make in the local community. I hope that you ll join us as we celebrate another year of supporting local shops in downtown Oklahoma City. Cheers! Holiday Pop-Up Shops Producer
