Popular Food & Beverage, Retail and Wellness Establishments offer Thousands in Cash Prizes and Giveaways
MIAMI – As local businesses reopen their doors after months of closures due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood is launching #FortheWyn, a collection of social media challenges that encourages visitors to safely return to the area’s beloved art, retail, culinary, and wellness establishments.
From now until November 13, the Wynwood Business Improvement District (BID) is hosting a month-long series of social media challenges on its popular @WynwoodMiami Instagram account, reaching over 160,000 unique followers.
#FortheWyn incorporates challenges that will encourage foot traffic to the area, highlight local businesses, and increase overall economic spend in Wynwood.
With a total of twelve challenges across four weeks, the #FortheWyn campaign will offer participants notable awards that include:
- a month-long coworking space at Minds Cowork;
- a $100 gift card for one of Wynwood’s most lavish eateries, dōma;
- a month-long workout pass for CrossFit Wynwood;
- a spray-paint graffiti class led by the Museum of Graffiti;
- and many more
“Since the beginning of the crisis, we have been working proactively to support businesses in the neighborhood through a series of efforts that include our successful virtual series #WynAtHome and our outdoor dining program,” said Albert Garcia, Wynwood BID Chairman. “The #FortheWyn social media campaign builds on these efforts, inviting hundreds of thousands of our social media followers to experience, celebrate, and support our beloved Wynwood establishments.”
Kicking off on October 20th, #FortheWyn will have a variety of challenges, with the first one encouraging participants to showcase their best yoga moves, using the neighborhood’s colorful streetscapes as a background.
Partnering with Wynwood’s first and only yoga studio, SOL Yoga, followers are asked to showcase their best yoga pose in Wynwood and the best image will be awarded five FREE classes at SOL Yoga, valued at over $100. Activated from now until November 13, the #FortheWyn campaign is part of several initiatives by the Wynwood BID to support area businesses in the district as the community continues to navigate through the effects of the pandemic.
