RYU Proud Partner of the City of West Hollywood, American Express and We-Ho Chamber of Commerce With a Pop Up Experience with Global Partner & Ambassador Elisabeth Rohm
(firmenpresse) - (Vancouver, BC), December 10, 2019 - RYU Apparel Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RYU.V, OTCQB: RYPPF), creators of urban athletic apparel, is pleased to report it partnered with American Express in supporting its Stars Shop Small For WeHo, happened Saturday November 30th in several locations around the City of West Hollywood, in association with the West Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce.
Small Business Saturday is a day created to support local shops that help make our communities strong. This year, celebrities will participate in West Hollywood''s "Stars Shop Small." Small Business Saturday was founded by American Express in 2010 to respond to small business owners need for more customers during the holiday shopping season: for the first time, RYU proudly supported this cause, partnering with a local business to create a unique shopping experience.
Alongside the Respect Your Universe team, partner actress Elisabeth Rohm, hosted the event on behalf of RYU, spending time with visitors and taking numerous pictures, while introducing the brand to newcomers.
The event happened at Ysabel Restaurant, in West Hollywood, which offered the perfect space for such initiative.
In West Hollywood, a portion of proceeds from participating store retail sales and donations go to Los Angeles LGBT Center Culinary Arts program. The Centers innovative Culinary Arts program is an intergenerational training program for LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness and low-income LGBT seniors. Taught at the Centers commercial kitchen in the Anita May Rosenstein Campus, the 300-hour program engages youth, ages 18-24, to learn basic culinary skills alongside students from the Centers Senior Services programs.
The event is estimated to have generated over 66 million impressions in the press and online coverage, without including Social Media Impressions.
Amongst others, Elisabeth Rohm, soon to be featured in the new Bombshell movie, opening this week in North American theatres, besides top actresses Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie and Nicole Kidman, had the chance to talk about this initiative at KTLA and she was featured on US Magazine in the Hot Pics section.
Getty Images also supported the full event, all over the city of West Hollywood.
According to American Express, an estimated 110 Million shoppers positively impacted communities by choosing to Shop Small, generating about $ 19.6B in spending at independent retailers and restaurants, obliterating last years figure of an estimated $ 17.8B.
