How to Capitalize on National Pet Week, Mother’s Day and Other May Dates

6-14

We’re sure you’ve read stories about people spending ridiculous amounts of money on diamond-studded collars for their dogs. So how about for one week only — National Pet Week — you get in some of the “better” pet stuff for one case or even just one special section on your website? Market it, maybe even do a co-promotion with the local shelter. And some of that “ridiculous money” might just flow your way.

01

The May is Gold Month campaign may be the baby of big jewelry retailers and the World Gold Council, but grab those corporate coattails. After all, May is filled with traditional gifting opportunities.

03

National Teacher Day. Donate jewelry to a teacher who has won a recent award. Alert the local paper and schedule that teacher to come in and receive his or her prize.

Consider hosting a men’s-only shopping night a week before Mother’s Day. But don’t forget the non-traditional gifters: kids to moms, moms to adult daughters who are moms, and grandchildren to grandmothers.

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.”
