(PRESS RELEASE) Frederick Goldman Inc. is launching a One-Week Bridal Express program for two of its most important brands, Scott Kay and ArtCarved. The programs feature over 170 styles of engagement rings in both 14k white and yellow gold — made to order and shipped within one week. The 170-plus styles include a wide range of the brands’ best-selling designs and represent all of the distinctive collections within both brands.
To support the program, FGI has created easy-to-use reference booklets for Scott Kay and ArtCarved engagement ring collections with pictures of all the rings included, as well as detailed directions on placing custom orders. The Frederick Goldman B2B site also features all Xpress Programs with dedicated buttons to further allow quick access and ease of use for customers.
“The launch of our One-Week Bridal Express service programs further fulfills our mission to be the best partner for our retailers now and in the future,” said Jonathan Goldman, CEO of Frederick Goldman. “Meeting the needs of the millennial consumer for immediate gratification in a way that retailers can depend upon every day, is our focus.”
The Bridal Express service programs for Scott Kay and ArtCarved join the Goldman Xpress Wedding Band program launched in September 2017. That program features same day shipping on over 250 best-selling wedding bands. Since the launch of the Goldman Xpress program, retailers have experienced 100 percent on-time shipping of the designated items.
“We are always looking to meet the next challenge facing our retail partners – driving conversation, solving their problems and increasing the ease with which they do business with their clients,” said Jonathan Goldman.
Honoring a Legacy: How Smith & Son Jewelers Exceeded Every Goal With Wilkerson
When Andrew Smith decided to close the Springfield, Massachusetts location of Smith & Son Jewelers, the decision came down to family. His father was retiring after 72 years in the business, and Andrew wanted to spend more time with his children and soon-to-arrive grandchildren.
For this fourth-generation jeweler whose great-grandfather founded the company in 1918, closing the 107-year-old Springfield location required the right partner. Smith chose Wilkerson, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.
"Everything they told me was 100% true," Smith says. "The ease and use of all their tools was wonderful."
The consultants' knowledge and expertise proved invaluable. Smith and his father set their own financial goal, but Wilkerson proposed three more ambitious targets. "We thought we would never make it," Smith explains. "We were dead wrong. We hit our first goal, second goal and third goal. It was amazing."
Smith's recommendation is emphatic: "I would never be able to do what they did by myself."
