Join The Anti-Valentine’s Day Revolution With A Day Of Shopping And Pampering At Victoria Gardens!

Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love, and Victoria

Gardens is bringing that love to the people - in the form of pampering! To

accomplish this, Victoria Gardens is inviting all single (and attached) Inland

Empire shoppers to the second annual Anti-Valentine’s: Pamper Thyself event on

Saturday, February 8, from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

This free event gives shoppers the opportunity to take

advantage of sales, giveaways and complimentary treats from Victoria Gardens’

retailers, as well as special contests and prizes throughout the event.

 “We have found that

many of our Victoria Gardens shoppers are seeking an alternative to the

traditional, couples-focused Valentine’s Day celebration,” explained Melina

Ferraez, Director of Marketing for Victoria Gardens. “Our Anti-Valentine’s Day

celebration is designed to give everyone - from young singles to married moms -

a fun way to celebrate together.”

To participate in the event, guests must first check in with

Guest Services, where they will receive a $10 Victoria Gardens gift card

(limited to the first 200 people). Guests will also receive a map of the center

with a list of participating retailers, and a special wristband that will give

them access to each of the special treats available as part of the

Anti-Valentine’s Day celebration.

“Lasts year’s inaugural Anti-Valentine’s Day event was an

overwhelming success,” explained Ferraez. “As a result, we wanted to bring back

this wonderful event for the 2014 Valentine’s Day season, adding even more

promotions for our shoppers to enjoy.”

The 2014 Anti-Valentine’s: Pamper Thyself event will feature

more than twenty participating stores offering various promotions and

giveaways.  Examples of this year’s

promotions include 30 percent off a single purchase at Banana Republic, a

complimentary quick eye makeover from Sephora, and a free cup of Pinkberry’s

Shave Snow including toppings (limit one per guest), among others.

In addition to sales, giveaways and promotions, guests will

be invited to take a fun, complimentary photo to remember this special event.

Amusematte Event Photography will set up a photo booth with a green screen next

to Guest Services where shoppers can have a fun photo taken after they check in

for the Anti-Valentine’s Day event.

Victoria Gardens will also be conducing two special contests

for shoppers throughout the event, including a text-to-win and an Instagram

photo contest.
