(PRESS RELEASE) The Atlanta Jewelry Show is launching two new feature areas for the 2019 spring event in Atlanta, GA, Executive Director Libby Brown announced.

As the buying habits of today’s consumers evolve, independent retailers are adapting e-commerce strategies to enhance – not replace – their sales opportunities and grow their business, according to a press release from AJS. The AJS E-Tail Pavilion will provide products, services and education to help retailers integrate e-commerce into their existing business model.

“Our commitment to fostering the growth and success of our retailers is the foundation for this investment into expanding the scope of the spring event,” Brown said. “We believe that our retailers are in a state of transition to compete in the digital marketplace, therefore we are committed to providing the tools and training to make that happen.”

The AJS Occasions Pavilion will include products that complement traditional jewelry store offerings, aligning to the modern needs of today’s customers, according to the release.

Regarding the Occasions Pavilion, Brown said, “In an effort to stay solvent in the marketplace, many of our independent retailers have expanded the selections in their stores to include the non-traditional jewelry and gift items. The goal of AJS is to create the opportunity for the retailer to discover new products and services to generate additional traffic and increase sales in their stores.”

Jewelers Mutual Plans to Donate $10,000 to Jewelers for Children During Holidays

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
