Next time you're in New York, I suggest you mosey on over to Brooklyn to pay a visit to the Index Ltd store. Full of unknown treasures, it's a one-stop off for rare and unusual merchandise.
Located specifically in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, the Index Ltd store and gallery is owned by Jonathan Roquemaure. With a passion for objects with character, history and an interesting tale behind it, Roquemaure has accumulated a bevy of objects begging for a home with equally interesting folk.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Eclectic Stores
- Entrepreneurs can establish stores that offer rare and distinct products to meet customers' affinity for unique offerings.
- Curated Collections
- Creating collections that tell a story can induce personal connections with the customers' purchases.
- Localized Shopping
- Focusing on distinct neighborhoods and creating a community feel can draw in customers as they seek unique products.
Sectors Adopting This
- Specialty Retail
- Retailers can establish a specialty store with unique selections to draw in customers that are looking for more uncommon and distinctive items.
- Art and Antiques
- Art and antiques dealers can develop a curated collection to appeal to the storytelling aspect of the objects, facilitating the creation of emotional connections with buyers.
- Tourism
- With a focus on distinct neighborhoods, tourism can capitalize on the unique offerings and create a community experience that can boost customer interest and satisfaction.
