“Yeah, right?”


WHEN TO SAY IT: When a male customer has brought in his wife’s jewelry to be cleaned.

BUT THIS MUST COME AFTER YOU PREVIOUSLY HAVE ASKED: “Are you sure you haven’t been sent in to buy her something?”

WHY?: The staff at Randy’s Jewelry in O’Fallon, MO, like to tease their customers to keep the shopping experience friendly and low-key. “We think our customers appreciate that we can have fun while facilitating their needs,” says owner Randy Hudson. “There is a comfort level that our staff and store provide to all of our customers no matter what their occupation is or how much mud may fall off their shoes,” he says.

After 139 Years, A Family Legacy Finds Its Perfect Exit With Wilkerson.

When third-generation jeweler Sam Sipe and his wife Laura decided to close Indianapolis’ historic J.C. Sipe Jewelers, they turned to Wilkerson to handle their retirement sale. “The conditions were right,” Sam explains of their decision to close the 139-year-old business. Wilkerson managed the entire going-out-of-business sale process, from marketing strategy to sales floor operations. “Our goal was to convert our paid inventory into retirement funds,” notes Sam. “The results exceeded expectations.” The Sipes’ advice for jewelers considering retirement? “Contact Wilkerson,” Laura says. “They’ll help you transition into retirement with confidence and financial security.”

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

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.”
