The Bead Box located in Tecumseh, Michigan is trending alongside Artists and Handmade Jewelry Markets because of their experience and ability to meet consumer demand.
Convenience is just about everything to people in this day and age. The emergence of mobile devices practically ensures that you don’t have to get out of bed to find what you want or need. This is nice to a certain extent but what’s missing is getting out, spending time with others, and the experience of interacting with people…you know…LIVING!
One cannot find everything they want or need in their local market but would also be amazed at how much is available. Shopping local is a great way to find information about products you are interested in purchasing, especially from people who are passionate about what they do and know the product well enough to really help customers.
A product that has always been a recurring trend when it comes to shopping are beads. While the types of beads change, they are typically used in jewelry. 10 years ago Pandora started a craze and similar products have come out to compete. However, those types of bead jewelry can get expensive and are mass produced. As in any market new trends emerge and one that is really big at this time is Artists Jewelry. Even though it has been around for a long time, trends come and go and at this time it’s certainly trending.
The Bead Box, located in downtown Tecumseh, is a locally-owned business that combines local market experience with an online reach. Their start comes from their experience in creating unique artists jewelry. A heavy emphasis has been placed on the word unique, because these creations are one of a kind, never to be exactly duplicated. The current trends include handmade bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Layering and mixing styles is a popular and different look that is perfect for the person wanting to make a statement of their own.
Not only can you buy unique jewelry at the Bead Box, but they are a local bead supplier as well. Beads and beading supplies are available to the public for various projects. If they do not have what the customer needs, they have the resources and experience to secure the supplies that are desired; customer service is of utmost importance.
All small businesses are faced with challenges in today’s fickle market. The Bead Box is not immune to certain challenges, but what sets them apart is their willingness to change with the demands of the customers. The Bead Box would love to expand and open their doors to provide design consultation services, metal smithing classes, and also partnering with local art teachers to develop art jewelry classes for credit to high school students.
The Bead Box is a proud member of the Tecumseh Area Chamber of Commerce. They support local events, contribute to local causes and own Vintage Boulevard Suites which provides lodging for local tourists. It is important part of the Bead Box family to support all downtown businesses, referring customers to each other for products and looking to ensure the customers needs are met.
The Bead Box is a must stop shop!! If you get a chance, stop in and check out the selection. You will not be disappointed!
