(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK – Jewelers of America (JA), the national trade association for businesses serving the fine jewelry marketplace, has announced the association will be coordinating the launch of a consumer marketing program in 2019. The campaign will be an industry-wide collaboration to increase consumer desire for jewelry and drive jewelry sales by promoting the unique and emotional aspects of jewelry ownership versus other disposable income purchases.

“The jewelry industry has voiced their needs for a generic consumer campaign that speaks with actionable, yet sentimental messages about jewelry,” says JA President & CEO David J. Bonaparte. “We are excited to be moving forward with the campaign that our industry has been so passionate about. We are also are calling on all levels of the supply chain to band together for this initiative that will truly be by the industry, for the industry.”

Jewelers of America is currently raising funds for a test campaign. The hyper-targeted, digitally based campaign will run in a targeted region, allow the industry an opportunity to see the campaign creative in real time and establish key learnings before launching nationally. To raise funding, JA has established a “Pioneer Program” for those visionary companies who see the potential for the campaign success and want to contribute. Pioneer companies will be recognized through a variety of mechanisms, including: press coverage, inclusion in trade advertsing, recognition in all digital content related to the program and recognition during the 2019 GEM Awards in New York.

The current companies joining Jewelers of America in the Pioneer Program are: American Gem Society (AGS), Emerald Expositions, Forevermark, Gemological Institute of America, Gumuchian, Jewelers Mutual Insurance Group, JCK Industry Fund, Rahaminov Diamonds, Royal Chain Group and Greenland Ruby.

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
