Assignment:
Home Depot NYC
The stores are a suburban mecca for home improvements.
A few years ago a store opened on 23rd Street in Manhattan. And now there’s another on 58th Street. It's interesting that an iconic big box suburban brand built on DIY home improvements is in a city full of small apartments, single people and varied cultures and lifestyles. It's somewhat of a contradiction.
Assignment:
Find an interesting and creative way to CONNECT to consumers
and make the store RELEVANT to New Yorkers.
​
The 23rd Street/6th Ave store is only a few blocks from SVA. Go check it out.
Things to think about:
​
-
What is the perception of Home Depot for a city person?
-
What are the benefits of shopping there?
-
What kind of items do New Yorkers need?
-
What is it like living in a NYC and a NYC apartment?
-
What is good/bad about NYC apartments?
