Viva Las Vegas … Squad t-shirts … Cool coming

RANDOM THOUGHTS: because, after a hectic trip to Las Vegas and back, there’s little time for anything else.  

1.) As always, it was a thrill to see so many of Instore’s readers at the various Las Vegas shows we bounced between the entire week. I can’t tell you how much your enthusiasm for this magazine inspires us, and your ideas for story topics, stores to feature, services to talk about and new departments to launch can’t help but make us even better. 

2.) We signed up more than 100 new members for our ?Brain Squad? in Las Vegas. And we’re continuing to look for more … and, right now, anybody who signs up to receive our monthly email surveys as part of the ?Brain Squad? will receive a free (and completely awesome) t-shirt in either black or gray. Check out the pics on Page 65. These were extremely popular in Las Vegas ? you should have seen the look on all those manufacturers’ faces when we told them the shirts were reserved exclusively for ?Brain Squad? members. Heart-breaking.

3.) Next month, we’re excited to bring you what has become one of your favorite issues to read, and one of our favorites to put together ? Instore’s fourth annual ?America’s Coolest Stores? edition. The winners have already been chosen, and we’re putting together what we expect to be our best package of stores ever ? the state-of-the-cool in American jewelry retail. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!

Wishing you the very best business …

After 139 Years, A Family Legacy Finds Its Perfect Exit With Wilkerson.

When third-generation jeweler Sam Sipe and his wife Laura decided to close Indianapolis’ historic J.C. Sipe Jewelers, they turned to Wilkerson to handle their retirement sale. “The conditions were right,” Sam explains of their decision to close the 139-year-old business. Wilkerson managed the entire going-out-of-business sale process, from marketing strategy to sales floor operations. “Our goal was to convert our paid inventory into retirement funds,” notes Sam. “The results exceeded expectations.” The Sipes’ advice for jewelers considering retirement? “Contact Wilkerson,” Laura says. “They’ll help you transition into retirement with confidence and financial security.”

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.”
