Earth Day is Your Chance to Show Off Jewelry’s Green Credentials, and Other Important Dates for March

22 The world is a warmer place buffeted by more extreme weather events than when EARTH DAY was first held 50 years ago. Join in the celebrations by playing up jewelry lines that feature recycled gold, estate diamonds and other Earth-friendly materials. Sponsor Earth Day activities (like beach cleanups, tree-plantings and other community events that promote the environment) to underscore how our industry — jewelry — is committed to responsible business practices.

5 Mark GEOLOGISTS DAY with a fun quiz: See who among your customers can name your state’s official rock. If they get that, ask them the gemstones of adjoining states.

9 THE MASTERS TOURNAMENT in Augusta, GA, begins today. Create a contest with your staff for what you consider to be a “hole in one” over the four days of the golf event.

23 On LOVERS DAY, invite clients in for a toast of champagne to celebrate “just because,” suggests Megan Crabtree of Crabtree Consulting.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
