Welcome to “Fill in the Blank”, a weekly helping of nutritious thought for growing jewelry store-owners.

Instructions: Fill in the blank with the first thing that comes into your mind. Think of these as a Rorschach test for jewelers. Oh, and for extra credit, you might explain in a separate paragraph why you think answered the way you did. Because that’s always interesting, too — the so-called “method behind the madness”. </p

Thanks for participating! And check back every Friday for more blank-filling mayhem.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
