As a jeweler, it’s easy to feel like a pinball, constantly bouncing from task to task, from customer to customer, says marketing specialist Jimmy DeGroot. 

In the video below, he explains that business owners too often get caught up in the immediate, the necessary, the urgent.

It’s crucial to take time to “think about your ideal situation for you and your jewelry store,” he says.

“Picture yourself at your happiest and what that looks like,” DeGroot continues. “Now picture your store. Maybe the volume that it’s doing … the profitability … your team being very successful. Or is there a store at all? Maybe it’s you retired or even doing something you’ve always wanted to do but never had the time.”

DeGroot provides an exercise to help jewelers focus on the big picture.

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.”
