No matter what’s gone on prior to this Friday the 26th, as the lights go on, the stores are decorated and the doors open wide, it’s my goal to set the stage this season with the right attitude, determination and energy to give our customers a truly great holiday shopping experience. I really enjoy making our guest feel welcome and am honored that they make the effort to come to shop at Tappers. With our gifts you’ll love to give campaign 50 gifts under $500.00 sets the tone for affordable luxury at Tappers.
These next weeks are an opportunity to really strut our stuff. We’ve created our plan, set both personal and business goals, and are prepared with an arsenal of features and benefits, (at Tappers we call it our “Peace of Mind Guarantee”), and for me by “dressing for success” looking my best, being mentally and physically ready we are going to rock the house today!
This is my opportunity to begin this important selling season excited to provide more than superior service and making sales. I hope the success that I aspire to and achieve will give me the fuel and inspiration to meet the challenges yet to come.
Remember a positive attitude brings positive results.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success
After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone.
Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently.
The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
