Facebook campaign builds her business while doing social good.

Irene Greenberg, the founder of Eye Gee Design who also has a passion for horses, has figured out a way to promote her business while advocating for a meaningful cause. Horsetalk writes that she recently launched a Facebook campaign in which she pledges to donate $1 to Brooke USA, an equine welfare charity that she has supported since 2011, for every click-through to her recently redesigned website. The results so far have been encouraging, with Greenberg raising more than $700 for the charity. “As much as I’m doing this to be altruistic, it is smart business too,” she says. “It was an advertising awareness campaign for both Eye Gee Design and Brooke USA. I really am committed. I love what they do. Anything that I can do to help them become better known or raise money for them is my goal.”

Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life. Now it was time to get that “me time” every retailer dreams about. So, he chose Wilkerson to manage his going-out-of-business sale. White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience. I’ve had the best salespeople in the history of jewelry,” he says. “I recommend Wilkerson because they are really the icon of the jewelry business and going-out-of-business sales. They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
