They swapped tops, “borrowed” each other’s favorite shoes and cried over feckless boyfriends. Celebrate SISTERS DAY with a one-day coupon for any sisters who come in.

Mark the 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF ANDY WARHOL’S BIRTH with a pledge to get your 15 minutes of fame in the local media. Start with our lead in the February 2017 issue of INSTORE — “Becoming a PR Powerhouse.”

In honor of NATIONAL DOLLAR DAY, find an item in your monthly expenditures that you can forego (unused gym membership, premium cable, credit card interest?).

Like a messy tourist, the Swift-Tuttle comet passed through our solar system in 1992 leaving behind a trail of trash: tiny grains of ice, dust and rock. It is this “litter” that we see as the spectacular PERSEID METEOR SHOWER each August. Hold a Wish Upon a Star event in the store (with wish lists handy, of course) followed by a trip to an open field to do some stargazing. Hire a mini-bus, set up a tent, play a little Neil Diamond and Hot August Nights.

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.”
