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.”

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
