Get Ideas From the Best of the Best

We’ve been working hard on providing you with new stuff each day on INSTOREMAG.COM in our Daily Shine section (featuring Shine Times, Shine Blogs, Shine News and Shine on Design).

But, behind the scenes, we’ve also been working on the old stuff, trying to get our archives back in shape after a disastrous transition a few years back that resulted in a lot of lost material. That process is still ongoing, but there are a number of key sections of INSTORE magazine that are (more or less) complete and ready for your visits.

To start, go to the INSTORE archives main page, where you can read content from individual issues going back to September 2002.

Then peruse the collected works of columnists like Shane Decker, David Geller and David Brown. If you’re looking for good ideas, don’t forget to go through our Ask INSTORE and Book Reviews archives. One newer, can’t-miss area of the site is our Sanity Files department — where you can see the collected installments of what I honestly think is one of the coolest magazine departments ever.

All that said, if I were a jewelry retailer looking for inspiration, the place I would start is right here — our “Best of the Best” archives page, with more than 80 successful promotions from jewelers. Dive in!

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
