It’s designed to streamline the sales process.

(Press Release) NEWPORT BEACH, CA — GemFind, which provides technology-based marketing solutions for the jewelry industry, has partnered with the marketing and advertising agency Harmon Group to add REPS (Reliable Electronic Product Sales) to its lineup of applications. REPS is a sales system that puts a manufacturer’s entire jewelry product line and customer data profile on an iPad.

Harmon Group originally developed the app to allow jewelry reps to make impactful sales presentations while carrying an abbreviated line of products.

REPS streamlines the sales process, helping jewelry reps sell product more effectively. It simplifies customer relationship management, makes sales presentations more relevant for individual customers, eliminates mistakes and increases order accuracy. And its ability to store and display an entire product line digitally increases product exposure, reduces product cost, and can lower or eliminate the need for insurance.

“We are exceptionally pleased to be partnering with GemFind for the distribution of REPS,” said Rick Arnemann, CEO of Harmon Group. “Both Harmon and GemFind share the same high level of integrity, with a focus on quality, innovation, and client synergy, making this the perfect integration of our marketing and presentation skills and their technical capabilities.”

REPS is a complementary application to GemFind’s JewelCloud, which helps manufacturers better distribute their product data, and helps retailers manage online product and inventory. REPS integrates with JewelCloud, allowing product information on JewelCloud to easily transfer to REPS.

“GemFind strives to be on the cutting edge of technology for the jewelry industry, and this new partnership with Harmon Group fits nicely with our outstanding lineup of jewelry apps and services,” said Alex Fetanat, president of GemFind.

GemFind will be demonstrating the REPS application at JCK Luxury Las Vegas, June 2-8, at Booth # L203.

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.”
