Spiff of The Month: March 2013

BY INSTORE TEAM

Published in the March 2013 issue.

Here’s a game everyone knows how to play. In this variation, instead of random numbers, sales staff must achieve the goals set on each Bingo card (another option is to fill the card with various product lines).

1 Distribute the cards on Monday morning. Aim to run the game for a week.

2 Mount the cards, each with a person’s name atop, on a backroom wall so everyone can see how their “rivals” are progressing.

3 Award prizes based on filing a row or column or the whole card.

4 When someone goes “BINGO!” have them ring a bell.

5 Award prizes on the spot.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
