Since the beginning of 2021, Jewelers Mutual® Group and the Jewelers’ Security Alliance (JSA) have been tracking burglary trends at unprecedented levels throughout the US and Canada.

According to recent data, strip mall jewelers are experiencing twice as many burglaries as any other type of jewelry retail location this year. As this trend continues, it’s critical for jewelers to have working alarms and if an alert is received from the alarm service, treat it as an actual event every time.

In this webinar, you will hear about the recent criminal activity and risk management solutions to mitigate loss and prevent burglaries, including the new Alarm Response Program available through JM™ Risk Services, a division of Jewelers Mutual Group.

With the Alarm Response Program, supported by Securitas, a trained security officer will respond to all your alarms to ensure the safety of your business.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
