最新报道:London's quirky rubber duck stores are thriving despite economic challenges, with niche retailers reporting steady demand for collectible and novelty ducks. Owners attribute resilience to loyal customer bases, unique product offerings, and the toys' nostalgic appeal. Some shops have expanded into online sales and custom duck designs to boost revenue. The Rubber Duck Emporium in Camden noted a 15% sales increase last quarter, while Ducky Delights in Covent Garden introduced limited-edition artist collaborations. Industry analysts suggest the market's stability stems from rubber ducks being perceived as affordable luxuries during uncertain times. Several stores plan to launch augmented reality features allowing customers to "test float" digital ducks before purchasing physical ones.
