The Magic of Lights at 313@Somerset

| |
Hi Huneybees,


I was invited to the unveiling of the Christmas Light Up at 313@Somerset. This year 313@Somerset played with the idea of lights and hope to bring to shoppers an artful display of lights to create the first ever Christmas Light Show.


The magical use of ‘light art’ as a paint brush to create brilliant personalised Christmas cards, 313@somerset will dazzle its shoppers with the beauty and mastery of lights to bring added festive cheer.

Through the wonderful works of Charlie Lim - renowned Singapore photographer introduces his remarkable technique of light art into designing Christmas cards for shoppers at 313@somerset. This method of photography uses a single source of light and paints the subject in the dark while the camera captures the image. The effect is a visual treat that creates a work of art for each shopper who participates.

From 7 – 23 December, every Friday to Sunday, 12pm to 7pm, at Basement 2 (next to Din Tai Fung), the first 80 shoppers each day who spend a minimum of $150 will have an opportunity to get their photo taken. All CLUB313 members are guaranteed redemption.

Ready for the light up show?



We were serenaded by Key Elements that night and you can hear their wonderful acapella number in the video above.


And not only that, we were also treated to great food at Brotzeit!



The lovely organizers even got an artist to give each of us a personalized caricature drawing to bring home!

The srtist used special paper for the drawing and he used sticks inside of pens and markers!
Incredible 2 hand skills!!

Tring 313

On a side note, 313@somerset have also recently launched their first mall branded location-based application – Tring 313, a mobile app for shoppers to enhance their shopping experience and to receive relevant promotions where and when they want it with the ability to shop round the clock.

Tring 313 is designed to send push notifications to shoppers within a defined radial proximity of 313@somerset, informing of current deals, promotions and event highlights. Shoppers can also choose to “follow” selected brands in 313@somerset which allow them to receive notifications of the brands’ promotions even when they are outside the defined radial proximity.

The technology also allows a more personal approach towards shoppers as the App identifies relevant promotions, offers and events for them based on previous purchase patterns and profile information. The ease of in-app navigation, coupled with its capability of drawing on shoppers’ trends and insights redefine the way malls connect with shoppers.




Tring 313 Kick-off Promotions:

As part of the launch taking place 29 November, there will be one retailer each from the fashion, lifestyle and food & beverage categories presenting exclusive offers from 29 November 2012 till 31 December 2012.


All coupons can be downloaded in-app and redeemed by simply presenting them at the retailer points. For coupons that require in-app payment, it is easily accomplished via PayPal or Credit Card.
