WHAT WERE THE CHALLENGES OF HOSTING THE EVENT?
“The evening was very challenging because the space is a lot smaller then we are used to working with. We had a difficult time helping everyone and making sure things were secure. All in all, we did make quite a few sales that evening, in spite of the large amount of people who attended.”

HOW DID WORKING WITH THE RITZ-CARLTON ADD TO THE EXPERIENCE?
“They have never participated in a situation where three luxury brands came together to produce an event, but it went off without hitch. Guests had the pleasure of tasting some of the chef’s latest culinary creations. A signature cocktail was created along with a cookie with our logo. The curiosity of customers wanting to view our newest location and the level of luxury that the Ritz-Carlton brand gives made for a wonderful evening.”

WHAT WAS IT LIKE WORKING WITH LUXE MAGAZINE?
“We have worked with Luxe for the past two years, and they are a wonderful media partner. Luxe assisted with designing the invitation, supplying the photographer, mailing the invitations and scheduling e-blasts to promote the event.”

How was the event promoted?
“Over three hundred invitations were mailed to our customers’ homes. We also sent out three e-blasts inviting customers and friends to the event. A special email was sent out to all the Ritz-Carlton residents, inviting them down to celebrate the evening with us. Luxe Magazine also sent e-blasts to local clients and subscribers.”

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.”
