Bloomingdale’s is kicking off the holiday season by detailing its annual campaign, titled “Best Holiday Ever.” Centerpieces of the effort include a Wonka-themed shopping space known as The Carousel @ Bloomingdale’s in its flagship store, as well as window displays there following the same motif. (The Carousel space will debut Nov. 3, and the windows will be unveiled Nov. 16.)

The retailer has undertaken those efforts in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, in conjunction with the upcoming release on Dec. 15 of Warner Bros. Pictures’ new movie, “Wonka.”

“Our Wonka carousel serves as a testament to our marketing position and how we embrace pop culture to create unique experiences for our customer,” said Frank Berman, EVP, Chief Marketing Officer at Bloomingdale’s. “From our incredibly curated and exclusive gifting assortment to our collaboration with Broadway Cares, Bloomingdale’s will truly come alive through the magic of film and theater.”

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.”
