  Village on the chase

  Event organizer

  This outdoor market came about as an innovative idea built around need to increase publicity and generate another revenue stream for a property i manage owned by our company. The property houses small businesses in Mount Pleasant Harare. The aim was to draw prospective customers to the complex thereby showcasing available products and increase revenue for the resident tenants. We have witnessed a steady growth to the number of stallholders and brands through their partnership with our market. We are still on the growth path and envision having a preferred market that offers a variety of products and a wonderful outdoor shopping experience to patrons. Marketing and advertising of the market is mostly done online through Instagram and Facebook pages we created. We have seen a steady growth to the online following and engagement. I manage and oversee the Facebook and Instagram accounts for the market. I am also responsible for content creation, idea generation, posting as well as page and post analytics. I have built a great team that i work with. Together, we have introduced themes and events that we have linked to the market thereby boosting attendance and following. Key events at the market include the Think Pink Drive which is an event centered on building awareness for Breast Cancer. We also have the Movember Movement market centered on building awareness on Men's Health and Mental Health issues. We also have a night market themed Shopping Under the Stars run in December which is mainly a Christmas Shopping event. The experience has not been without challenges but i think those are what contribute to the growth and success of the market.The market opens EVERY SATURDAY from 9am – 4pm!! Show less
