Naperville sisters, Carly and Kristin Franzese, are the happy recipients of Justin Bieber concert tickets presented by The Promenade Bolingbrook through a contest the shopping center recently launched in an effort to gain members for their new website.

The Promenade’s new multimedia website extends the shopping experience beyond the physical walls of the retail center which allows their shoppers to interact during and after their visit to the center. Shoppers are able to sign up in one process and chose how on they would like to receive communication from the shopping center through either E-club, Mobile Club, Facebook, or Twitter.

The site was designed as one source for up-to-the-minute information on all stores and brands.  Feature articles on the latest trends in fashion, home and seasonal ideas written by well-known industry experts create an endless wealth of lifestyle and fashion information.

To promote the new site, The Promenade Bolingbrook offered new members an opportunity to win several prizes over the summer months including an IKEA patio set, a NOOK with accessories and a $75 gift card.   Members joining the site in September and October had a chance to win Justin Bieber concert tickets.  Over 500 members entered the contest and on Friday, Oct. 19, 2012, the lucky winner, Carly Franzese, a student of University of Central Michigan, received a call from Kris Kuchler, director of marketing at The Promenade.   “When I saw the poster about the contest a few weeks ago while shopping at The Promenade with my sister, I thought why not? And wow, am I happy that I became a Mobile Club Member.  I’ve never won anything before!” exclaimed Franzese, who will be taking her younger sister, Krista, a sophomore at Naperville Central, to the concert.   

“We want for InSiders to know they are special to us and we will continue to have give-a-ways throughout the year with a wide variety of prizes", says Kuchler.    

The new website allows shoppers to:

• Discover and explore new products and brands
