Cyber Monday, Pawnbrokers Day, the Rockefeller Tree Lighting and More Dates You Can Leverage in December

2 From the 12th biggest shopping day in 2005, Cyber Monday is now No. 2. The theory is that shoppers are looking to close the deal after testing out gifts in person over the weekend. Help them with a gift card offer that throws in a 10% discount.

4 The Rockefeller Center hits the switch on its landmark Christmas tree today. You should, too. Your customers are back from the Thanksgiving break. They want to see lights, decorations and reindeer carved from ice. Don’t let them down.

6 We’re all pawnbrokers now, or so it seems, as gold trading generates hefty contributions to most jewelers’ bottom lines. On National Pawnbrokers Day, tip your hats to the world’s oldest financial institutions and consider an offer to get customers to sift through their drawers for gold dust.

25 You don’t have to invite Santa to your Christmas party. (He’s probably busy anyway.) A few years ago, Mees Jewelry in Chillicothe, OH, did a “Blue Christmas” event with a singing and dancing Elvis, as well as staff wearing 1950s costumes. We know of another store that booked Darth Vader “because anyone can have Santa” and reported a great response to their fundraiser. Think outside the tinseled box, spread cheer and watch the crowds come.

When third-generation jeweler Sam Sipe and his wife Laura decided to close Indianapolis’ historic J.C. Sipe Jewelers, they turned to Wilkerson to handle their retirement sale. “The conditions were right,” Sam explains of their decision to close the 139-year-old business. Wilkerson managed the entire going-out-of-business sale process, from marketing strategy to sales floor operations. “Our goal was to convert our paid inventory into retirement funds,” notes Sam. “The results exceeded expectations.” The Sipes’ advice for jewelers considering retirement? “Contact Wilkerson,” Laura says. “They’ll help you transition into retirement with confidence and financial security.”
