IN THE SECOND EPISODE of his “Keepin’ It Real” podcast, Shane O’Neill of Fruchtman Marketing is joined by Daniel Gordon, one of independent jewelry retail’s biggest, and longest-running, proponents of digital marketing.

The discussion: Social and digital marketing has changed more than just how retail jewelers market themselves, it’s changed how we communicate. So, why then are so many salespeople still selling the way they always have? Gordon’s passion for digital and social marketing changed not only how he marketed as a jeweler, but how he connects to his customers.

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.”
