Size Inclusivity in Fashion

YourUpdateTV

Over the course of the last year, women’s clothing brand, J.Jill, set out to better understand what women want from fashion and the shopping experience. In response, J. Jill is celebrating the launch of Welcome Everybody, a fully inclusive shopping experience online and in stores, that celebrates the totality of women everywhere. Recently, VP of Design at J.Jill, Elliot Staples, and Size Inclusive Style Expert, Rochelle Johnson, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss size inclusivity and the new Welcome Everybody campaign. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/x8xDhhQv9sU The Welcome Everybody campaign is a fully inclusive campaign that clearly communications J.Jill’s significant offerings and aligns with our mission of celebrating the totality of women The campaign was created to create a fully inclusive shopping experience, following extensive listening and market research with customers. Their visual campaigns will be refreshed with a range of models and influencers, such as Rochelle, showcasing a range of sizes and body types to ensure each customer can feel represented in J. Jill campaigns. Women are not just one size fits all, as we know almost 70% of women in the US are size 14 and above. It is important that brands not only understand that but stand behind that and design their product for women of all shapes and sizes. While J.Jill has always catered to this market, they are continuing to evolve and include more inclusive sizing throughout their product offering. Plus size fashion has historically been an underrepresented category in the fashion space and those who have not met the ideal size standards have been limited in fashion options. As Rochelle looks toward the season ahead, in terms of fashion, it’s really all about transitional items that get you from day to night. As a mom of two, anything that makes my morning easier such as ultra- premium fabrics that make my outfits feel luxe. The entire collection boasts beautiful details, easy silhouettes, and soft luxurious fabrics that J. Jill is so well known for.

With a dedicated following of over 411K followers on Instagram, Rochelle is an influential voice within the body inclusivity community.

This Electric Toothbrush Has 6 Cleaning Modes For Reportedly Brighter Smiles

Benzinga

Toothbrushes have come a long way since Babylonians and Egyptians started brushing their teeth with frayed twigs around 3000 BCE. The first more modern toothbrush with a handle carved from cattle bone and a brush made from swine bristles was produced in England around 1780. Natural bristles were used until DuPont de Nemours Inc. (NYSE: DD) invented nylon, which started the development of the truly modern toothbrush in 1938 and the first electric toothbrush in 1939. Although electric toothbrushes date back more than 80 years, they have seemingly not achieved widespread adoption. The global electric toothbrush market size was estimated to be worth $4.3 billion in 2022 and projected to increase to just over $6 billion by 2027, according to Statista. Electric toothbrushes clean teeth, gums and tongue by using rotation or side-by-side movement of the head. Electric toothbrushes are an effective way to remove plaque and reduce gingivitis, and studies show they are more thorough at cleaning teeth than traditional manual toothbrushes. But the moderate adoption rate of the devices arguably demonstrates that consumers need to be educated and provided compelling value propositions to buy them. Cost is a major constraint to the market, and people don’t see them as an attractive addition to their bathroom countertops. Better Brushing? Enter Brüush (NASDAQ: BRSH). While most electric toothbrushes provide 500 strokes per minute, Brüush says its model provides up to 31,000 strokes per minute, attacking plaque 100 times more vigorously than a manual toothbrush. Brüush has six cleaning modes for every type of brusher. The Brüush lithium-ion battery is built to last four weeks on a single charge, and the compact magnetic case makes traveling with the device convenient. The Brüush toothbrush, which comes in five colors with three brush heads and a USB power adapter and charger, retails for $79. And if you sign up for a subscription, Brüush will send you three new brush heads every six months for $18 — that’s just $6 per brush head. Replacing brush heads for Koninklijke Philips N.V.’ s (NYSE: PHG) Sonicare can cost as much as $43 for a three-pack, and the price of Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG) Oral-B line of brush heads reaches as high as $40 for a three-pack, depending on the model. Brüush estimates that 70% of its customer base is between ages 18 and 45 years old, a group that’s under-penetrated compared to baby boomers in terms of using an electric toothbrush. This age group also consists of the first digital generation when it comes to shopping, possibly a positive for a company where its website accounts for the majority of sales.

JefeBet Announces Launch of New Proprietary Free-to-Play Loteria Game

JefeBet

JefeBet, the premier gambling and multimedia brand for bilingual and Spanish-speaking Americans, announced a new proprietary, free-to-play Loteria game scheduled to debut this Fall, during National Hispanic Heritage Month. The game, built in partnership with Plan A Technologies, is designed as a hybrid of the widely-played games Loteria and Keno. It will be available to play on both iOS and Android platforms. Loteria, often referred to as “Mexican bingo,” is a game of chance where illustrated cards replace numbered balls. This nostalgic game has been played in Latino and Hispanic communities for nearly 150 years. Keno is a casino game, similar to bingo, in which players choose up to 10 numbers from the given table of numbers ranging from 1 to 80. Twenty numbers are drawn and players are paid out accordingly. “The Latino and Hispanic communities in the USA have been drastically underserved for decades, particularly so with gambling, entertainment, and media products. This is why we’ve created JefeBet as the premier gambling and entertainment platform for tens of millions of people that identify as Latino or Hispanic in the USA,” said Seth Schorr, CEO of FSG Digital. “The launch of the Loteria game is the first of many announcements and initiatives aimed at expanding our footprint beyond Las Vegas, in an effort to provide real value and authentically developed products to an expanding mainstream audience.” JefeBet’s parent company, Fifth Street Gaming (FSG), is a full-service hospitality and casino management company that has catered to the Latino market for more than 15 years. FSG casino properties, the Silver Nugget and the Lucky Club, are the only two properties in the United States to operate Loteria on-site. After years of proven success, FSG is introducing its JefeBet brand and its digital capabilities to expand Loteria beyond the local Las Vegas Latino community, and to players across the country. "We're really excited to be working with JefeBet on putting this game together,” said Aron Ezra, Chairman at Plan A Technologies. “It's going to be a fun, fast loteria experience that will get better and better over time as we keep adding features and new play mechanics. We're grateful to our partners at JefeBet for their vision in bringing this experience to life and providing a modern way to experience this classic game.” For more information on JefeBet, please visit: JefeBet.com. ABOUT FSG Digital FSG Digital, operating its flagship brand JefeBet, traces its roots in interactive gaming back to the year 2000 when CEO Seth Schorr developed Wynn Resorts’ first interactive casino. Today he is joined by his Fifth Street Gaming partner Jeffrey Fine and experienced iGaming entrepreneur Seth Young. FSG Digital focuses on providing compelling, authentic gambling related content and products to the Latino and Hispanic communities in the USA and beyond. JefeBet.com is a multimedia web portal, featuring proprietary written gambling and lifestyle content, numerous podcasts via the JefeBet Podcast Network, sports trivia prediction games via the JefeBet Pronosticos y Deportivos app on iOS and Android, and more. ABOUT FIFTH STREET GAMING Fifth Street Gaming (FSG) is a full-service hospitality and casino management company based in Las Vegas. Recognized as one of the gaming industry’s top local independent management companies, FSG delivers excellence in guest experience, leadership and profitability. With a diverse portfolio of thriving Las Vegas casinos and gaming taverns, innovative restaurants and bar concepts and a revolutionary new eSports platform, FSG remains grounded in its foundation of entrepreneurial spirit and integrity. The company has catered to the Latino market since 2006, most notably through the operations of the Lucky Club Hotel & Casino and Silver Nugget Casino.
