Here’s a Fun Spin on The Traditional End-Of-Year Staff Party

Want to freshen up your end-of-year party? What about a store trivia night (along with some fun food and drink, of course). Who was your highest-spending customer during the year? Who sold the oldest piece of inventory? What was your top-selling wedding band brand? Not only is it fun, but it allows staff to reminisce about the craziness of the year and commit to mind some important sales data. Prep some neat prizes for the winner.

It Was Time to Make a Decision. It Was Time to Call Wilkerson.

Except for a few years when he worked as an accountant, Jim Schwartz has always been a jeweler.

He and Robin wanted to do it right, so they called Wilkerson. The best surprise (besides surpassing sales goals)? “The workers and associations really care about helping us move out own inventory out of the store first. It was very important to us.”
