TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2020 /CNW/ – Retail Council of Canada (RCC) today released the Shop Early, Shop Safe campaign in collaboration with Cineplex and Interac to remind Canadians that a little planning will help ensure they have everything needed to celebrate the holiday season safely.
Findings from RCC’s recently released Holiday Shopping Survey suggest Canadians are still planning to get into the festive spirit this season and so this video serves as a crucial reminder to the public of the role we all play in helping ensure everyone’s health, safety and security as people shop for the holiday season.
“Store owners are working hard to adjust to a COVID era holiday season with strategies to encourage consumers into shopping early, ensuring packages arrive on-time and long lines can be prevented at stores,” said Diane J. Brisebois, President and CEO, RCC. “Our partnerships with Cineplex and Interac have allowed us to bring our Shop Early, Shop Safe messages to Canadians by leveraging networks in communities across the country.”
As part of this campaign, Cineplex Media is also offering a dollar for dollar matching grant for pre-show and cinema lobby advertising for all small businesses located within a 5 kilometre radius of any Cineplex theatre across Canada.
