YouTrip, Singapore’s leading multi-currency mobile wallet has launched #CraftWithLove . An initiative which aims to raise awareness and garner support for the many in the creative community who have lost their gigs and job opportunities through cancellations due to COVID-19.
As a homegrown startup, YouTrip has gained support from its community of users since its inception in August 2018. Much of this support had been championed by creatives of various
disciplines, travel content creators, music producers, illustrators to craft artists, sharing their inspirations from around the world with YouTrip. During a crucial time as such, YouTrip recognises the importance of raising awareness to support these creatives, ensuring their craft can survive through the crisis.
Lending a Voice to Local Creatives
At its core, #CraftWithLove is a dedicated platform set up for Singapore creatives to showcase their creations. Doubling up as a creative marketplace, the public is able to browse and purchase an item or a service directly from the creatives. Payment will be made directly to the featured creatives, serving as a source of income for them during these times.
Within the first day of launch, YouTrip has amassed over 100 sign-ups from local creatives to be part of #CraftWithLove. YouTrip will continue to take in submissions from creatives with various crafts and talents to be featured.
The public can support #CraftWithLove by:
- Browsing the listing of local creatives on the #CraftWithLove marketplace
- Following the creatives on their social media platforms
- Sharing about #CraftWithLove with your friends and family
- Purchasing their craft directly from them as a gift for a loved one
#CraftWithLove ( go.you.co/craftwithlove ) will introduce more aspects and initiatives dedicated to supporting our creatives in the coming months.
