Tilton, NH, 2/21/06…The members of the Red Hat Society are very serious about their organization. Serious about having fun, that is. This unique organization of women primarily 50 years and older unite under the umbrella of a red hat to bond in sisterhood and most importantly to enjoy themselves. In 2006, the Tanger Outlet Center in Tilton is partnering with the Red Hat Society to make sure that its members have fun and are supplied with plenty of extra discounts to do their outlet power shopping at Tanger’s brand name stores.

Tanger is now a national partner in the Red Hat Society’s Purple Perks program. As part of the Society, members are invited to take advantage of a growing number of discounts and benefits with an individual Purple Perks membership. When a member of the Red Hat Society shows their Purple Perks card at Tanger, they will receive a free Tanger discount coupon book and will be invited to take part in other Red Hat Society promotions sponsored by Tanger.

“The Red Hat Society is pleased to have Tanger Outlets join us as a national Purple Perks Program partner,” stated Carol Castelli, Director of Marketing for the Red Hat Society. “It is no secret that Red Hatters love to go shopping. We are excited to be able to offer our members extra savings at Tanger’s wonderful selection of brand name outlet stores across the country,” Castelli added.

May 19-21, 2006 Tanger will roll out the red carpet as it welcomes all Red Hatters for a special Red Hat Society Weekend Shopping event. The event will include exclusive discounts, a free gift with purchase offer, Tanger gift card giveaways, preferred parking spaces, Tanger sponsored lounge for RHS members to get a free drink and a snack, and much more Red Hat Society fun. For more details please contact Eric N. Proulx, General Manager of the Tanger Outlet Center in Tilton at 603-286-7880 Ext. 302 or via email at enproulx@tangeroutlet.com.

Formed almost eight years ago, the Red Hat Society currently has chapters in every state and 30 countries creating a world-wide sisterhood. Members have garnered international attention for their antics and belief that silliness is the comedic relief in life.
