Big Reveal! PDBA Holiday Promotion
Deadline Extension! October 28
The Pearl District Holiday Big Reveal will establish the Pearl District as the newest place to create fun family holiday tradition. Window displays will simultaneously be unveiled on Saturday, November 29th (the Saturday after Thanksgiving) at 10 am. We are currently negotiating our television, radio and print programs to promote the event. We’ve partnered with Zip Car, Portland Streetcar, and PDX Magazine for advertising. It is important to generate enough PDBA enrolled businesses to maximize our advertising potentials. Your enrollment fee of $99 dollars enables us to promote the Pearl District as the destination for holiday shopping. Please contact the PDBA office for more information.
Big Reveal – Open to Any Pearl District Business!
In an effort to promote the Pearl District as the destination for holiday shopping, we are opening our enrollment to non-members for $198. Please encourage your neighboring businesses to participate as we all pull together to promote during economically challenging times. The more partners we have for this promotion – the more advertising we are able to secure for the Pearl District. We want to encourage them to use the PDBA for their special events promotions. Consumers need to see a full listing of potential special events. Partnering together helps to consolidate our efforts and speaks to the public in one unified voice that we are the place to shop, have fun, and enjoy our family and friends.
