Found Riches (http://www.foundriches.com/signup/consumer/) and Plaid Magazine (http://www.plaidmag.com) present a shopping event with a twist on Tuesday, June 19th. West End Riches keeps the doors of the city’s best boutiques open until midnight so shoppers can indulge in some sweet summer retail therapy.
Shoppers will receive discounts on their purchases simply by sharing their experience via Found Riches, a new app aimed at promoting retailers and their wares to a community of tastemakers.
After downloading the Found Riches app, users can snap pictures of their favorite items they see while shopping to spread the word about what great finds are available in the stores they visit. In return for uploading the images to Facebook via Found Riches, retailers will offer a discount on the featured item.
Participants of West End Riches include:
