Westland Kicks Off 6th Annual 
"Shop and Dine Westland"Campaign

Westland, MI - The City of Westland has officially kicked off the 6th annual Shop & Dine Westland Holiday Campaign. Shop and Dine is a 6-week multifaceted marketing campaign entitled "Shop & Dine Westland" which promotes Westland's premier shopping district as a location that bears "Everything you want. Everything you need" for everyone's holiday season shopping list.

 

Westland's Shop and Dine district is anchored by the Westland Shopping Center and is surrounded by over 160 wonderful shops, restaurants and services making it Wayne County's premier shopping and dining destination.

 

The City plans TV commercials which will begin airing the week of Thanksgiving with a huge emphasis on Thanksgiving Day, with a focus on female shoppers. The City's commercial, starring local resident and 2008 Miss Michigan, Ashlee Baracy, will run on popular cable stations, including, Food Network, TBS, Bravo, E!, FX and History Channel. These commercials highlight and encourage shoppers to spend the day in Westland and enjoy the large selection of retails stores, fabulous restaurants and our state-of-the-art MJR Theater.

 

Radio ads will also be hitting the metro area air waves, and the City will utilize billboards on major freeways.

 

Back this year is "Wild About The Holidays!" This new initiative will see Mayor Wild playing the role of Santa as he greets customers at local stores and hands out gift cards to unsuspecting shoppers on Small Business Saturday, November 28th.

 

"Small businesses are a crucial part of the success of our fantastic shop and dine district" Mayor Wild remarked, "so when you visit Westland this holiday season, tell them the city of Westland sent you!"

 

 

New this year is our enter to win contest in partnership with Westland shopping center. From Nov 15 thru Dec 15, visit our Facebook page for your chance to win a one thousand dollar shopping spree in one thousand seconds! No purchase necessary.
