(Press Release) GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Montage, a leading national provider of protection plan programs, is introducing its Jewelry & Watch Care Plans. This program enables independent jewelry retailers of all sizes to generate additional revenue while enhancing their reputation for quality customer service.

Montage has teamed with Wexler Insurance Agency/IJB, one of the world’s largest independent insurance agencies specializing in the jewelry trade, to offer this coverage to retailers. The program is modeled on the system Montage has used to successfully service claims from millions of plans that we have sold. Jewelry retailers and their customers will benefit from:

Retailer Benefits

New source of revenue – day one bottom line impact.
Competitive advantage.
Additional service repair revenue (for retailers who perform their own repairs).

Customer Benefits

Coverage not included with basic jewelry insurance.
Prompt and convenient service and repair.
Protection on lifetime investments.

“We’ve been tremendously successful in the protection plan industry, helping retailers large and small capture additional sales revenue without having to maintain their own service and support staff,” said Alan Salmon, Montage president. “Through our exclusive partnership with Wexler Insurance Agency/IJB, we’re now able to bring this exciting opportunity to jewelry and watch retailers across the country.”

Montage Jewelry & Watch Care Plans affordably cover a wide variety of multiyear options and are available in two-, three- and five-year terms for both jewelry and watches. The company also offers “lifetime plans” including center stone coverage for jewelry. Additional information is available at www.montagejewelrycare.com.

Learn more about the new Montage Jewelry Care program by visiting Wexler Insurance Agency/IJB booths #L107 or #L142 at JCK Las Vegas 2017, June 5-8.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
