Tip It’s Not Just the Jewelry, It’s Your Appearance

WHY IT IS TRUE: Be aware of your hands, nails, perfume/cologne, bad breath, wrinkled clothes, too much of your own jewelry, threadbare cuffs, scuffed shoes, etc. All can detract from the jewelry.

PLAN OF ACTION: Using a flipchart, ask staff to list specifics that would be detrimental to your store and the image you represent in your market. Contrast these with the elements of a positive appearance. Congratulate them for their willingness to present a professional image that your customers will never forget.

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.”
