David Brown Instore November 2008 Issue

IF YOU WERE to turn the average U.S. jeweler’s inventory into a doughnut, here’s how it would look — stale and mostly inedible. Fresh inventory and fast sellers would account for just a third of all stock.?Remember that $100 of inventory should produce at least $100 of gross profit a year, so inventory that isn’t selling is costing you 100 percent in interest a year.

This story is from the December 2008 edition of INSTORE.

Wilkerson Testimonials | MSG Jewelers

Wilkerson Takes the Worry Out of Closing

MSG Jewelers has always treated its customers like family. When owner Mike George decided to retire and close the doors of his St. Louis, Missouri jewelry store, he selected a company to manage his going-out-of-business sale that treats its customers like family, too. That’s why he chose Wilkerson. “Wilkerson was able to do all the things that we needed,” says George. In the end, the bittersweet store closing was so much easier with Wilkerson at the helm. From marketing to pricing to inventory, Wilkerson does it all. “It’s a package deal,” says George.
