$RYPPF $RYU.V RYU Hires Marketing Director To Expand Brand Presence and Attract New Consumers


https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ryu-hires-marketing-director-to-expand-brand-presence-and-attract-new-consumers-301464537.html

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - RYU Apparel Inc. (TSXV: RYU) (OTC:QB RYPPF) (FWB: RYAA) ("RYU" or the "Company"), creator of award-winning urban athletic apparel, is pleased to announce the hiring of Zachary Beers as Marketing Director, effective February 1st. In his new role Zach will be responsible for leading RYU's omni-channel marketing efforts to attract and retain RYU consumers in support of the company's four-pillared growth strategy (brand, product, digital and retail).

An energetic retail brand marketer with more than 10 years of experience, Zach has managed more than 50 marketing campaigns, launched 20+ retail stores and helped grow direct-to-consumer revenue from $1 million to $500 million for Arc'teryx—an outdoor clothing and equipment company. His iterative design philosophy leans into learning by doing, while leveraging data and metrics to guide strategic thinking. In addition to developing RYU's consumer-centric marketing strategy around its "Movement Matters" brand mantra, Zach will oversee all supporting online and offline efforts across the RYU ecommerce website, social media, paid media, email, printed catalogues, retail stores and other channels.

Tasked with telling a clearer, more inspiring brand story that resonates with their audience, Zach will tap into the emotional connection consumers have with their movement lifestyle and amplify those stories across the RYU ecosystem. The focus will be on a digital-first strategy that supports the company's foundational ecommerce business while integrating retail through in-store activations to create more synergy between the online and offline shopping experience.

"Zach's energy and drive are palpable," says RYU's COO Rob Blair. "His quick, iterative thinking and omni-channel marketing experience will help us expand our audience and attract true brand loyalists during this exciting phase of growth for the company."

Zach Beers adds, "I'm a mountain sports enthusiast, and I apply that same passion and calculated risk-taking to marketing. I'm thrilled to join the RYU team, and look forward to shaping the future of this brand."

$RYPPF RYU Apparel Builds Brand Awareness Through Social Media Growth and Engagement

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ryu-apparel-builds-brand-awareness-through-social-media-growth-and-engagement-301455258.html

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - RYU Apparel Inc. (TSXV: RYU) (OTC-QB: RYPPF) (FWB: RYAA) ("RYU" or the "Company"), creator of award-winning urban athletic apparel, has grown its brand awareness and increased intent to purchase through consistent gains on its social media channels. With month-over-month growth across Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, RYU's efforts to reach key demographics are paying off. And the message across social media is clear: Movement Matters, which is the company's new brand mantra. By showcasing how everyone moves differently, RYU is helping people overcome discomfort and uncertainty to live an active lifestyle.

Overseeing RYU's social media is Jay Gundzik, who was recently hired to lead Creative Direction and Strategy. Working in the marketing industry for more than 25 years, Jay has amassed an impressive list of achievements; most notably winning every major advertising creative award there is. He has also worked for agency powerhouses BBDO Chicago, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, TBWA (AdWeek's 2021 Global Agency of the Year1) and M&C Saatchi where he helped to define iconic brands.

Under Jay's leadership RYU will turn to more video-based content to leverage the company's extensive in-house video capabilities and expertise. And because many RYU consumers are introduced to the brand through discovery, Jay's strategy will focus attention on Pinterest—a channel powered by search and discovery through pinning. It's also an exciting platform for increasing RYU's user base and monitoring conversion rates, which could provide insight into other areas of the business.

With nearly 450 million monthly users, Pinterest continues to gain traction among U.S. Millennial pinners (up 35% year-over-year) and Gen Z pinners (up 40% year-over-year).2 In December alone, RYU's Pinterest impressions increased 500% and engagement was up nearly 400%, while website clicks jumped 60% over the last 90 days. Because pinners are actively searching for brands, these recent gains are encouraging from an awareness, loyalty and sales perspective.

Other social channels have grown as well. RYU's follower count across all three platforms is approaching 70,000 with Instagram leading the pack at more than 40,000. Top Facebook posts are receiving 2,000+ organic views, and engagement has been steadily growing.

Over on Instagram, styled content video Reels have generated consistent views of 1,000-1,500 per video. Those impressions, coupled with increased monthly engagement average has contributed to an increase in website referral traffic. To further capitalize on the popularity and virality of video content, RYU recently launched a TikTok channel where they are leveraging relevant trends, hashtags and sounds to reach their target audience.

"Our social media strategy reflects our pivot from an ultra-niche fitness apparel company to a broader, more accessible mission-focused brand with a movement based-philosophy and roots in martial arts," says Jay Gundzik. "By creating diverse and engaging content, inviting conversations about movement, focusing on discovery and optimizing each channel, we will open up our user base and organically attract loyal fans."

As a digital-first company, RYU is continually working to create an online experience that provides consumers with a seamless and consistent brand message across all touchpoints. Social media is towing the line as a key part of this digital ecosystem.

$RYPPF RYU Apparel Inc. Letter from CEO
Press Release | 11/09/2020
RYU Apparel Inc. Letter from CEO
Canada NewsWire

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 9th, 2020

Capital infusion from Apparel Inc's CEO and investors sets in motion innovative product launches, an enhanced ecommerce experience, Modernized In Store Experience and Strategic Partnerships.

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 9th, 2020 /CNW/ - RYU Apparel Inc. (TSXV: RYU) (OTCQB: RYPPF) ("RYU" or the "Company"), a creator of award-winning urban athletic apparel, is pleased to share this corporate update letter from CEO Cesare Fazari.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

I am thrilled to deliver my first shareholder letter as CEO of RYU following our recently completed milestone financing, which highlights a key turning point in the renewal of the RYU brand and sets important strategic corporate objectives in motion.

It goes without saying that this past year has tested both individuals and businesses and in the face of these global challenges I'm delighted to share some of our successes from the renewal of RYU. The past 6 months have been energizing for our team, who was been working on a number of initiatives including:

Successfully raising $4.8 million. This raise fortifies our balance sheet and provides the company the required capital to execute key business objectives and regain profitability in 2021 and beyond.
Re-launching our ecommerce store on the Shopify platform. The multifold benefits of this new platform launch include improved navigation, enhanced discoverability through SEO and pre-order capabilities.
Coinciding with our ecommerce store is the kick off RYU's loyalty program points which will allow our loyal customers to earn points through purchases as well as social media engagements
Ecommerce sales now represent 80% of all RYU sales and continue to see exponential growth. Bolstered by the growing online platform, the arrival of RYU's new products have revived the brand and its cashflow. RYU's Q1 and Q2 ecommerce revenue increased 80% over the same period last year, with Q3 and Q4 revenue projected to increase more than double that of 2019's ecommerce numbers.
Appointing Alex McAulay as RYU's CFO. Alex, a Certified Public Accountant with 13 years as an apparel industry executive, brings a wealth of experience in mergers and acquisitions, distribution and ecommerce.
Joel Primus, co-founder of Naked Brands Inc. will enter a consulting relationship with RYU. Joel was the creative visionary behind numerous products at Naked Underwear, establishing retail distribution at Holt Renfrew, Nordstrom, Hudson's Bay, and Bloomingdales, as well as brokering celebrity partnerships and coordinating the listing of Naked Brands Inc. on Nasdaq. As co-founder of Kosan Travel Co., a travel clothing company, Joel launched one of the most successful Kickstarter apparel products of all time, reaching nearly $1 million in sales in 30 days. Joel was an inaugural BC Business top 30 under 30 Entrepreneurs in 2014 and has appeared on CBC's hit show Dragon's Den.
Streamlining RYU's design and production as well as its trusted and valued relationships with manufacturing partners throughout China and globally.
Further, RYU has also re-established production in Canada. Through the development and launching of "Made in Canada" product lines RYU intends to increase our local production in the years to come.
Completing RYU's launch of its best-selling Ethos Collection for fall, including hoodies, crew necks, bomber jackets, backpacks and other apparel for both men and women available in multiple colors.
Restoring our inventory positions, now estimated at $5 million in retail value.
Finalizing our deposits to ensure uninterrupted supply of our coming innovative spring collection.
Decommissioning two legacy ecommerce vendors of RYU and taking full control of Amazon Web Services. This will save monthly billings and simplify operations.
Completed the consolidation of our warehouses to streamline fulfillment, decrease shipping time and save costs on monthly billing.
Planned reopening of our flagship store which will pilot the "RYU Studio" concept. A smart store initiative store which is targeting the implementation of the latest interactive and immersive technologies to enhance the customer experience.
For those of you that are new to our story, we will continue to share consistent updates on our operational progress with our investors. Our common shares currently trade on TSXV under the symbol RYU and the OTCQB under the symbol RYPPF. Further information, including contact information for our transfer agent, auditor, and legal counsel, can be found on the Investor Relations section of our website.

In summary, our significant successes are the result of our incredible team's diligent perseverance and work ethic. These efforts are enabling RYU to increase its footprint in Canada, the U.S. and beyond. I would like to thank RYU's shareholders for your support throughout this process and for your belief in our vision. With your ongoing support, we are now positioned to make RYU a dominant industry force.

Sincerely,
Cesare Fazari
CEO

RYU Apparel Postpones Private Placement and Announces Effective Date for Share Consolidation

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ryu-apparel-postpones-private-placement-200200896.html

[Renee]

RYPPF: effective July 22,2020 a one for 10 reverse split:

https://otce.finra.org/otce/dailyList?viewType=Symbol%2FName%20Changes

[Fussy Group]

interesting press release out today, July 20, 2020, that there will be a share consolidation. Sounds like a reverse split? The result will be having 1 share after the consolidation for every 10 shares held at the time of the consolidation. Understandable with shares trading at a fraction of a penny; if anything I am surprised it was not 1 for every thousand, right?

I am still on board with everything I see and hear. I am still on board as customer and as shareholder. Hoping for better path of financial results in the future.

I did see an "effective date" for the consolidation. July 22nd. Not aware if that is pre market day pricing or after close of market that day? I did see the company had an offer on the table to sell shares at three cents a share to raise capital and I am thinking shares trading at a fraction of a penny were making that a non-starter. If the reverse split (do I have to call it a consolidation?) brings shares to pricing at about three or four cents a share in the market, maybe the offering will be successful at raising another round of funding as have past cycles of raising capital this way?

The reports from owners of retail locations continue to look increasingly bleak. The reports from consumer impulse purchases, (say fashion, food, urban active lifestyle), are going to be volatile this year.

Not sure how anyone in retail (out of the top performing stakeholders) is profitable nowadays and the introduction of new styles (maybe new materials?) is not a sure, nor quick, path; is it?

[Fussy Group]

thank you LONALLEN for posting the link to the roadmap for RYPPF to introduce revamped ecommerce, styles, and emphasis on the feedback of customers as we buy. I greatly appreciate your also posting about the new CFO whose background in garments seems to be promising. A lot to like here!!

I have a couple of questions for you as well as anyone reading this posting.

1. Have you previously bought clothing or accessories from the RYU website?

2. If so, was your experience entirely automated or partly with employee assistance/interaction?

3. Did you suggest any design ideas to RYU in the past?

4. If so, how well received were suggestions?

I liked the past CEO as much as the new one. I think, as an outsider with only the roles of customer and shareholder, that the gracious transition under so much stress is a remarkably good accomplishment all around.

I would like to see some experimentation and hope that we enjoy that in design, fabric, operation from RYU. I will stay long and continue as a customer, too

the ten days have passed, and we should be reading the report from RYU today if WHOAstocks was right on timing following his/her post on 8th November. The presumption is that MORE stores will have opened, but how many and for how many days of sales? price per share has drifted lower. volume of shares trading is light. the answer to your question is likely to be the same as last report, goal of about five stores opening each of coming two or three years. all in top drawing venues. a few more celebrity ambassadors (whether in media or sports) might be expected. maybe testing more fabric with special effects. deign award wins? charity fund-raisers, trainers or chef events for the "community-building" at the store venues?

I will be (pleasantly) surprised if any news moves the price per share, yet. all elements of execution look well thought out. I have only visited inside of one store (so far) and have been checking out the venues not yet open but promoting great signage. Sadly, the opening dates have slipped by half a year, so, days of sales per store seems a worthy measure to be taking. I expect to visit more before deciding about adding to my position in long shares. at pennies per share, the number of shares adds up. have to wonder, though, how soon before a reverse split in future to bring out of penny stock territory?

[WHOAstocks]

Third-quarter earnings are three weeks away, and I am eager to see if this can positively impact the stock price. I'm curious and I have questions as to what Managements focus is going into 2020? Elisabeth Rohm has been pushing RYU hard on social media and more celebrity endorsements would be great to see in the near future. New locations like Melrose Ave I predict will be very well received.

I think that "WHOAstocks" had a typo or leap in time when typing 20 stores to open. I think the number is 2. At one point, I vaguely recall, the plan was 5 a year for each of a couple of years yet to come, so maybe a cumulative 20 in a four year time frame?

Just remember, this is all good but also all still "tiny" -- so tiny as to be a special risk? Penny stocks are exceedingly risky in part because the typical investing institutions will not allow their stock pickers to put any shares trading below $5 per share into their portfolios. The control in one family, even if a family that is admired for talent and commitment, is a risk; but, I keep seeing indications that the controlling shareholder is genuinely interested in developing a deep bench of talent even while I realize that if the current leader were to fall ill, that would be a tragedy that the company is unlikely to survive.

I think this is deserving of a portion of my investments even if inappropriate for most investors.

Why is the stock price syncing so low with recent reports of 31% increased sales?

It doesn't appear to be insiders selling - 20 new stores this year. Should see more and more revenues as more planned stores rollout

[Fussy Group]

maybe two or three more retail venues opening before calendar year end. store and on line sales both just had positive numbers disclosed for year-over-year and quarter comparable time frames. Truly tiny but growth strategies are being executed. Anyone else had a chance to decide why the share price is bumping along at all time new lows? General fear of penny stocks, or maybe general fear of consumer pushing back against another entrant in urban athletic wear? Other worries?

locations all seem fantastic choices. the website looks great. the merchandising is brilliant. the publicity with awards all reads well. The obvious negatives are penny stock in retail in malls, but, is that priced in already? Too speculative or what think you?
