(PRESS RELEASE) AREZZO – Everything is ready for the 39th edition of OROAREZZO, the show that promotes the best of Made in Italy production on an international scale, organized by IEG, Italian Exhibition Group.

Besides promoting the very best of Made in Italy manufacturing, OROAREZZO is the ideal context for companies to develop business and expand networking.

Thanks to consolidated collaboration with MISE (Ministry for Economic Development) and ICE (Italian Trade Agency), the incoming of over 450 top international buyers from all the main Made in Italy markets, as well as the targeted participation of Italian retailers, has been organized.

And, this year OROAREZZO is once again offering exhibitors its Meeting Club platform, a unique chance for putting the owners of jewellery companies in contact with buyers in emerging and consolidated markets from more than 60 different countries. In fact, an agenda of one-to-one meetings with buyers directly at exhibiting company stands during the four days of the Show will be scheduled.

Exhibitors will therefore be able to welcome business opportunities, establish interesting contacts and present their collections to delegations of top buyers at Oroarezzo.

And, with the opening of OROAREZZO just around the corner, registrations have already arrived at the sold out point.

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.”
