The DOG DAYS are officially upon us; get tight with the dog owners in your market. Mark Diamond’s Jewelers in Albuquerque, NM, held an event that featured a “paw-tnership” with Animal Humane New Mexico, hot dogs on a grill, “pup-perazzi” taking photos, the sale of druzy paw pendants and a charity auction for a diamond bone pendant.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
