Plumb Club’s February Podcasts Focus on Attracting and Educating Customers

(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — A key component of any retail jewelry business is finding ways to expose the store to new customers and then enticing those customers to come in. Younger customers often respond well to out-of-the-box thinking and tactics that appeal to their sense of fun and uniqueness. As importantly, once a customer is in the store, it’s essential that you are armed with the knowledge and tools to educate them and assuage any concerns they may have. In keeping with those objectives, the successful Plumb Club Podcast Series introduces its February topics. Both podcasts, delivered by experts in the field, are available in the “Listen” area of the Jewelers Resource Center along with an extensive library of other retailer dedicated topics.

Piercing & Zapping Parties 101: Curating the perfect ear and wearing permanent jewelry are two of the biggest recent fine jewelry trends. In this informative “How-To” podcast, Duvall Osteen and Katherine Whitacre, on behalf of Plumb Club Member Chic Pistachio, provide you pro tips for producing successful piercing and “zapping” parties to bring more Gen Z and Millennial customers into the store. Discover the tools required and the pitfalls to avoid so that your customers will have an exciting and pleasant experience of self-expression and/or gifting that they can talk about and share on social media, all with your expert help.

From the Laboratory: Everything Retailers Need to Know about Disclosure and Detection of Diamonds: Retailers are ultimately responsible for the final disclosure of the origin of the diamonds and diamond jewelry they sell. Before going across that final 18 inches of sales counter, diamonds must go through multiple processes including screening and detection, and laboratory testing and analysis to ensure that the consumer receives exactly what the retailer has represented as origin. Alethea Inns, Chief Learning Officer for Plumb Club Member, Gemological Science International, outlines some of the ways a retailer can best detect and disclose laboratory grown diamonds, and why accurate disclosure of diamond origin is essential to the health of the jewelry industry.

The Plumb Club podcasts, which are added monthly, provide strategies, knowledge and immediately actionable steps from industry leaders, that help retailers across a variety of business areas. The newest podcasts, as well as previous ones, are available in the “Listen” area at the Jewelers Resource Center or on The Plumb Club website under “Resources”.

Ready to Move? Let Wilkerson Lead the Way

When Brockhaus Jewelry planned their move to a new location in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman knew exactly who to call for their moving sale: Wilkerson. "Having worked with Wilkerson before, choosing them again made perfect sense," says Shipman. "And our second partnership was even better than the first." The sale exceeded expectations, thanks to Wilkerson's strategic approach - starting with Brockhaus's existing inventory before carefully supplementing with additional pieces. "They made everything simple," Shipman adds. "From the outstanding consultant to the detailed planning, the entire process was seamless." It's why both partners enthusiastically recommend Wilkerson to fellow jewelers planning a move, remodel, or retirement sale.
