Village Green Mall reaffirmed its “Good Neighbours” marketing position by helping local high schools raise funds for their graduation ceremonies. For every $10 in purchases, customers received a “green buck” that entitled them to vote for the local high school of their choice. The winning school received $1,000 for their ceremony, while a local radio station provided $500 as a second prize. March sales increased by 15% over the prior year, or about $250,000.
