Run like the wind!  Well, at least that was our attempt.  On October 10th, there was the 5k Run/Walk & Fitness Expo held at the Promenade on the Peninsula Mall in Rolling Hills, CA.  This run was to help showcase the mall, and also help to benefit the Harbor Area YWCA.

Normally in events like these, we would set up a booth and try to promote and sell our products.  But this time we decided to take a different route (literally).  Our Torrance Shop staff decided to actually participate in this run, and promote our Phiten name by helping out the local businesses in the South Bay area.

Half of us participated in the full run, as the other half participated in the walk and walked around the course with our Phiten Flag.  This was a great way to give our name some publicity while supporting the event.  We were able to talk to other runners about our products and also tell them about our store.  There were runners there who were already wearing our products proudly, and the winner of the run was actually wearing our Mirror Necklace!

We already had customers visit our shop after they saw us at this event.  Hopefully we can do more events like this, so we can make a more personal connection with the public and also let everyone know what Phiten is all about.

Check out the pictures!
