(PRESS RELEASE) EVANSTON, IL — BriteCo jewelry insurance has launched a new initiative May 14, 2021 designed to add value and reward continued loyalty among the company’s more than 2,000 retail jeweler partners across the USA. The new program entitled BriteCo Rewards allows retail jewelers to earn rewards points redeemable toward gift cards when completing appraisals using the free BriteCo, cloud-based appraisal system.
When BriteCo jeweler partners finalize a customer appraisal in the BriteCo Appraisal Management System, they automatically earn points that accrue in a special BriteCo Rewards account, accessible in the appraisal system. Points can be redeemed by jewelers for gift cards from a myriad of fine retailers, including Apple, Target, Best Buy, Starbucks and more, or even redeemed for Mastercard Gift Cards.
“One of the hallmarks of our BriteCo mission has always been finding ways to make appraisals more fun,” said Dustin Lemick, BriteCo founder and CEO. “Creating a points-based rewards program was the logical next step to add value and reward our jeweler partners,” he added.
BriteCo jeweler partners will now see a “Rewards” tab when logging into the BriteCo Appraisal Management System where they can view their current points balance and available rewards. In
a special promotion to introduce the rewards program, users are able to earn 2x points with every customer appraisal they finalize over the next 30 days starting May 14, 2021. Learn more at brite.co/briteco-rewards.
The BriteCo Appraisal Management System is a free, cloud-based software tool designed to help retail jewelers create accurate, professional appraisals for their customers in a matter of minutes. Retail jewelers wanting to learn more can visit brite.co/for-jewelers.
Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration
After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years."
Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations.
The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
