“This is the best educational venue in the business, bar none.”

– Jim Tuttle of Green Lake Jewelry Works in Seattle, WA

“Intense immersion sessions in marketing, education and bench skills for beginners or advanced industry professionals designed to reinforce basics, instilling a certain flavor of business common sense and evoking widespread brainstorming. [The show leaves] you with a renewed sense of purpose, easily implemented ideas and access to fashionable “smart” stock to replenish your war chest so you can blow away the competition!”

– Denise Oros of Linnea Jewelers in LaGrange, IL

“The vibe at this show is different than other shows. The pace is different. I find it invigorating.”

– Brett Weiler of Decatur City Jewelers in Decatur, GA

“An incredible learning experience filled with tips and tricks that we should be doing every day. Find out who our demographic is, find out how to market to them, and [learning how to] brand your own store was huge as well. So excited to implement!”

– Katie Taylor of Taylor’s Jewellers in Alliston, Ontario, Canada

“If you’re not at the SMART Show, you’re missing out! I received more valuable information in a short time period than any other industry show.”

– Beth Schmitz of Beth Schmitz Consulting in Austin, TX

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.”
