The coronavirus outbreak basically killed trunk shows, either as a result of official edict or customer wariness about attending in-store events. But if your customers won’t or can’t visit you, that doesn’t mean you can’t still load up a trunk and go visit them, especially high-end customers who you know love jewelry or are collectors of a certain brand. “A personal trunk show – imagine that,” says Ellen Fruchtman, head of Fruchtman Marketing, suggesting you reach out to your best clients with such an offer. “Ship the product to their door. Tell them to have fun, try it all on, no strings attached. Make it easy for them to ship back or arrange a time for drop-off delivery and pickup.” Adds Fruchtman: “Once someone has something in their hands, they are more likely to buy.”

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
