Tanger Outlets Bolsters Traditional Retail Experience through Interactive Social Media and Digital Experiences for ShoppersGREENSBORO, N.C., May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- At the recent grand opening of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers' (NYSE: SKT) newest location in Savannah, Georgia, over 78,000 weekend shoppers proved that the brick and mortar shopping experience is alive and thriving. However, many shoppers were excited to find interactive social media stations set-up around the center that provided an opportunity to socially engage using their favorite social media platform to post photos of themselves at the new Tanger Outlets Grand Opening and receive discount coupons, store offers and gift cards. Pop up social stops delight shoppers, enhance their experience, and make shopping at Tanger Outlets interactive. Social stops offer new ways to save even more on shoppers' favorite fashions. This year, Tanger will open four new centers across the country. During each of these grand opening weekends, Tanger is merging the traditional shopping experience with the excitement of social interaction though three social media activations:
"Social pop-ups are about enhancing the shopping experience and increasing the number of touch points with our customers," said Steven B. Tanger, CEO of Tanger Outlets. "These new installations at our grand openings provide our customers with a world class traditional shopping experience and the fun of interacting with their favorite retailers on social media for the best deals." Tanger will incorporate these social media activations at each of the three remaining Grand Opening events scheduled for this year: Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut on May 21, Grand Rapids, Michigan on July 30, and Memphis, Tennessee on November 19.
