Give Your Displays a Literary Touch

Persona Jewelry+ creative director Dustin Rennells recently expounded on the Boston store’s beautiful window displays for an upcoming Case Study installment for INDESIGN, and I was struck by his use of a famous book for the window theme – in this case, Winter’s Tale by Robert Sabuda.  The book features stylized artwork and intricate pop-up engineering.  Rennells took the concept and expanded it into a series of windows for the store’s holiday displays last year.

It seems to me that using a famous book theme for your windows is a great way to connect with the consumer on a level that’s comfortable and familiar.  It also heightens a sense of wonder and imagination that jewelry, like books, can provide.  Finally, it shows off your creativity, which is a positive in customers’ minds as far as what you can do for their look.

I went hunting on the Internet and found some other incredible book-based window displays.  Hope you’ll consider using this concept in your upcoming displays!

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.”
