1 National Senior Independence Month is held to encourage the sharing of local resources to help the elderly live independent and full lives. That sounds like something you may want to get involved with. Roll out a pickup and delivery service for older customers who need repairs or would like to see a curated selection of your best classic jewelry. Seniors are a key if sometimes constrained market.

6 Music’s biggest night — aka the 65th Annual Grammy Awards — kicks off Red Carpet season. Slip into fashion-maven mode and get your customers excited about jewelry’s cutting-edge trends with a series of posts or tweets on what’s hot and what to look out for.
