Case Study: Pike Place Market engages the community and boosts fundraising with Slalom

Pike Place Market - Customer Case Study

The Pike Place Market Foundation, overseeing the iconic Pike Place Market, sought to fund and promote its $66 million MarketFront expansion project. Their challenge was to effectively communicate these grand plans to the community and kick off a public fundraising drive to raise the final $9 million needed. They partnered with the vendor Slalom to develop a vibrant, mobile-friendly website to meet this need.

Slalom designed and delivered a responsive website for the Pike Place Market Foundation. The solution included an interactive e-commerce component for the "Pike Up!" fundraising campaign, allowing the community to donate and purchase items like Market Charms. This platform successfully helped raise $1,574,217 from 255 donors, directly contributing to the project's goal and creating a fun, memorable way for the public to engage with and support the historic market's expansion.
