Hand holding Christmas ball

25 One of the biggest advantages a small business has over its corporate rivals is the personal connections its owner can establish with customers. And this year, the coronavirus has stoked a heightened interest in localism and a real desire to support main street retailers affected by the pandemic. In the run-up to CHRISTMAS, add a more personal touch to your communications with customers by sharing an anecdote from your own family’s holiday traditions or stories from past seasonal campaigns that will get customers excited for what you have planned this year.

4 There’s a reason so many successful jewelers hand out freshly baked cookies – the hunger generated by the smell of sweet dough expands into an appetite for other goodies. On NATIONAL COOKIE DAY, get in on the action.

15-29 These are the HALCYON DAYS. All around is chaos. And yet, there you are — a picture of calm, professional control and direction. Visualize it: You, the halcyon, charming the wild holiday seas.

19 PANIC SATURDAY comes six days before Christmas and will likely be one of your biggest shopping days of the year. Steer aggressively. Shoppers at this late hour really just want a sure thing.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
