6 The Bible doesn’t specify how many wise men came to see Jesus; the idea there were three came from the number of gifts. But let’s not get caught up in details: THREE KINGS’ DAY, which marks the “official” end of the Christmas season, is a date worthy of your attention. In Hispanic culture, Epiphany, or Dia de los Tres Reyes, is often observed with the giving of gifts to children. Get your gold charms and kids’ jewelry ready and consider ways to market the date.

6 On NATIONAL SMITH DAY, urge all the Smiths in your customer database to come in and celebrate their Smithness today with another smith: their local goldsmith or silversmith!

14 On NATIONAL DRESS UP YOUR PET DAY, encourage clients to share photos on Facebook of their pets specially outfitted to win a prize, advises Megan Crabtree, president of Crabtree Consulting.

17 Today marks DITCH YOUR RESOLUTION DAY. But don’t give up yours — if you can hold on for just another week, there is a good chance that desired behavior can become a much-easier-to-keep habit.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
