- Lack of men items
Tiffany & Co is a well-known jeweler knows for their “little blue boxes” and their beautiful engagement rings that are inside of them. While women are the ones mostly looking at the rings, typically the men are the ones going to the store and paying for it to give to his future wife. While Tiffany & Co does have other items like necklaces, bracelets, etc. that are more likely to be bought by women for themselves, men still are a big buyer at the store. In the recent years, Tiffany & Co has worked on a men’s section and having a wider variety of men’s items, but they need to grow it. Men are coming in there to buy a ring, if something they want catches their eye, they are more likely to buy it rather than coming in on their own for a men’s item.
