During the 2024 school summer holidays, we were excited to work with our client to create family-friendly summer entertainment! From May 20th to September 2nd, we delivered a long-term Summer Garden Installation, complete with themed Workshops, photo opportunities, and Props, transforming the outlet shopping complex into a vibrant summer destination for families.
Our client sought to provide an engaging summer Installation that would appeal to families, drive repeat visits, and bring summer to life. With a strong, long-standing relationship, we had a deep understanding of our client’s objectives. We were confident in delivering entertainment that would not only meet but exceed their expectations.
Attention to detail was of the utmost importance for this project. We needed to deliver an Installation that perfectly aligned with our client’s vision, and to do so within a tight timeframe. With a large-scale project ahead, we needed to design, create, and set up the Installation swiftly and faultlessly.
Given the outdoor and long-term nature of the Installation, another challenge was ensuring the durability of our Props. We needed to source materials capable of withstanding frequent use and exposure to changing weather conditions, all while maintaining a high-quality appearance.
Although our client had considered another entertainment specialist, they ultimately returned to us after seeing the impressive results of our past Installations. To reinforce their trust, we went above and beyond with our proposal, developing comprehensive mood boards and presenting successful case studies that aligned with their vision.
By carefully understanding our client’s needs and leveraging our previous experience, we were able to quickly conceptualise and propose a solution that fulfilled our client’s needs and fit within the project’s tight timeline. Additionally, a generous budget gave us the opportunity to explore new materials and concepts. This allowed us to create a truly fantastic Installation, featuring high-quality props and designs that brought the space to life.
In our proposal, we used resilient materials to ensure our props could endure outdoor conditions. Throughout the Installation period, we adjusted plans to accommodate evolving needs and performed regular maintenance visits. This ensured the garden and props remained in perfect condition for the duration of the project. Multiple site visits and continuous communication with the client ensured that we maintained high standards every step of the way.
We assigned a dedicated team to manage every aspect of the Installation, from conceptualisation to execution. This ensured that each detail was handled with care, resulting in a flawless final product.
The project was a resounding success, delighting both the client and their visitors. All while reinforcing our reputation as a trusted entertainment partner.
Our deep understanding of our client’s entertainment needs, combined with our five-year working relationship, enabled us to deliver a successful project. The Summer Garden Installation became a focal point of the shopping complex, significantly enhancing the summer entertainment offerings.
Our Garden Installation included a grassy area, surrounded by a picket fence and planters with fresh flowers and plants. Additionally, we provided vibrant picnic benches, a Giant Brown Bear seat, Monkey seat, and Zebra seat. Families spent more time enjoying the garden, leading to increased dwell time and higher repeat footfall.
Families could also participate in a Wildlife Discovery Safari-themed Trail with high-quality animal props to lead visitors around the shopping complex – and provided picture-perfect photo opportunities! Our client ran social media competitions, encouraging visitors to share photos of themselves and their families with the props. This resulted in increased social media visibility and encouraged repeat visits.
Our themed Workshops, which were inspired by the Safari-themed trail props – Lion, Giraffe, Tiger, Rhino, Zebra, and Polar Bear – were a huge hit with visitors. The Workshops included a storytime session related to each animal, a fact sheet, and themed crafts!
