(Press Release)
Online testimonials are important when new prospects are researching a particular retail jeweler. Unfortunately, some consumers are suspicious when they read glowing comments. Further, most jewelers have not been able to garner enough online testimonials to truly impress the internet/consumer researcher.

With that in mind, Porte Marketing has created a 4” x 8” credit card-like personalized plastic postcard mailer with two detachable gift card offers – one for the customer to use and one for the customer to give a friend, relative or associate. The jeweler is able to track the customer who made the referral since their name is printed on the card.

Jewelers can target customers by their purchase history and/or buying frequency, and can also determine the amounts, exclusions and value of the gift cards mailed.

"This new marketing tool and strategy will help jewelers predict their referral business. Imagine what a jeweler’s business would look like if they could dramatically increase customer referral” says Porte.

Each mailer costs $0.98 and includes postage.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
