Hot Sellers: March 2010

Ear cuff sales have been off the charts recently. Don’t know why, but I like it! Not everyone carries them, so I’ve been able to grab lots of new customers via Google searches!  — Janne Etz; Contemporary Concepts, Cocoa, FL

Royal Chain — the beads, and they have a great price-point market with their silver fashion and gold accent line. — Brian Rouse; Bay Area Diamond Co., Green Bay, WI

Tacori is first in bridal and Pandora is still selling well. — John Turrentine; Thomas S. Fox Diamond Jewelers, Grand Rapids, MI

Rainbow sapphires from Michael Couch — a vendor we discovered at The INSTORE Show! — Loann Stokes; Stokes Jewelry Services, Stillwater, MN

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
