“#Newly reopened NYC businesses get creative to peddle wares on sidewalks<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Some Big App<\/a>le businesses are coming up with creative ways to peddle their wares on sidewalks now that curbside pickup is allowed.<\/p>\n

The novel selling tactics, first reported by West Side Rag, include newly-reopened retailers placing samples outdoors or planting chairs on the pavement to signal a store is open for business.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople seem uncertain. I don\u2019t think [they] really understand stores are open and, if they\u2019re open, how are they open,\u201d said John Koch, the owner of John Koch Antiques on the Upper West Side.<\/p>\n

Koch, 60, described the months-long coronavirus shutdown as the \u201cretail apocalypse\u201d and said that, even with the partial reopening, he was \u201cnot optimistic about the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, he sent out email alerts to clients and had installed 10 chairs Wednesday outside his shop on 84th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.<\/p>\n

\u201c[It\u2019s] one of the ways we\u2019re telling people that we\u2019re open,\u201d Koch told The Post. \u201cMaybe they\u2019ll inquire if they see furniture outside on the sidewalk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under New York City\u2019s Phase One reopening, which began Monday, a smattering of businesses large and small reopened to serve customers outside or to have them pick up previously ordered items.<\/p>\n

At Harry\u2019s Shoes, on 84th Street and Broadway, staffers even set up seating for people to try on footwear.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty fun to try on shoes outside because it\u2019s so nice out today,\u201d said Helen Schulman, 59, a novelist who kept her hand sanitizer handy as she hunted for Birkenstocks.<\/p>\n

Emily Little, who was looking for shoes for her two- year-old son George, said it felt \u201cgood\u201d to finally be out shopping.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of me feel like I need to watch myself\u2026,\u201d Little said. \u201cI need to be strategic with things I buy because everything is tight with finances right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allowing customers to try on shoes outside has been helpful with sales, said Brian Wixson, the store\u2019s assistant manager for women\u2019s shoes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s challenging! As far as business, it\u2019s been good under the circumstances,\u201d said Wixson. \u201cWe expected to just be doing web business and pickup. Customers trying on shoes outside has been helpful for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is spaced out, so I\u2019m not concerned about social<\/a> distancing \u2014 I\u2019m concerned about people strolling in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a handful of mask-wearing customers browsed linens and bedding outside Down & Quilt Shop on Amsterdam Avenue near 85th Street.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of weird. We\u2019ve never shopped like this,\u201d said 21-year-old Sarah Getzler. \u201cWe were looking and happened to come by. It\u2019s perfect weather to go out and shop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-owner Tracy Morse said she came up with the idea to set up an outdoor table for her wares as soon as she heard the city was beginning to lift its lockdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as we knew we were in Phase One we said let\u2019s bring a table outside and let\u2019s do it,\u201d Morse said. \u201cAlso if people don\u2019t need something right away, they know we\u2019re back when they walk past, and word of mouth gets out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so happy to be back,\u201d she added. \u201cPeople are walking past saying \u2018I\u2019m so happy you\u2019re open.\u2019 \u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
