INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The incubator, known as Store No
8, just launched Jetblack, a concierge-style service for requesting stuff and getting it really quickly
During its pilot period, the project was known as Code Eight.To shop with Jetblack, first you need an invite
Right now the service is limited to some customers in Manhattan and Brooklyn who are part of an eight-month pilot program restricted to
buildings with a doorman, though that will soon expand and a waitlist is available now
same-day delivery.While concierge services like Hello Alfred position themselves as high-end options for people wishing to live more serene
request something, Jetblack members send a text message and will receive product recommendations sent back in text
Those recommendations are culled from Walmart and Jet.com but also from specialty retailers locally.That means any product request is fair
interesting to see if these kind of personal shopping services can differentiate themselves in markets already well-acquainted with same-day
