1 At least one in four businesses affected by a disaster never reopens. During NATIONAL PREPAREDENESS MONTH, be sure to spend some time at the Department of Homeland Security website so you can be as prepared as possible for any emergencies. “Freak weather” seems to have become disturbingly routine.

4 Celebrate the 145TH BIRTHDAY OF THE FIRST ELECTRIC LIGHTBULB with a brainstorming session on how you will approach the holiday/engagement season this year. The timing is apt: There are just over 100 days to go until Christmas.

17 If your family had bought a new TV at a Labor Day sale in 1964, it was just in time to catch an iconic autumn lineup of new TV programs that included Bewitched, the Addams Family, Gilligan’s Island and the Flinstones. Celebrate the 60TH BIRTHDAY of these cultural touchstones with a fancy dress party. “Hi, I’m Ginger, and you must be … Cousin Itt. Love your hair.”

22 There aren’t that many of them — only about one in every 4,000 Americans is 100 or older, but they are a special group and also the fastest growing population segment in the country. Moreover, they are mostly women. That makes them a neat cohort to target for a special offer on NATIONAL CENTENARIANS DAY. A great-great-grandchild buying a gift for them makes for a nice social media post.

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.
