While friendly competition for market share exists in any industry, customers appreciate and support top brands coming together to raise awareness on youth mental health issues, something that, in the past 10 years, has become increasingly important for today’s youth.
In short, it has become increasingly important for companies to support and advocate for the issues their customers are facing. Long ago, Tilly’s recognized the alarming need for youth mental health services and began partnering with TLC on a variety of events and initiatives to raise awareness and funds. With continued support from Tilly’s, local brands, and others, Tilly’s Life Center can help more teens acquire essential life skills and a positive mindset to move past trauma, navigate challenges, and thrive. This is a critical cause, and Tilly’s is an outstanding example of supporting your target market by addressing their needs, meeting them where they are, and including industry partners in your mission to do good.
