Life’s a beach … Can work be one, too?

AFTER TWO ISSUES that you’d have been well-advised to wear a weightlifter’s belt while removing from the mailbox, we’re back down to a more manageable size this month. 

Despite the slimmer size, we’ve still got a lot of reading for you to do. Only this time, instead of reading for ideas, we’re asking you to read for fun. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce our first-ever ?Summer Reading Edition.? So put away your Post-It notes and highlighters ? instead of tips, store profiles, polls and case studies, we’re packing this edition with the best jewelry-related fiction and non-fiction we could find.  

It’s an issue expressly designed for you to take to the beach or pool, slather on the sunscreen, crank up the iPod, and simply enjoy. (And if we ever do another one, maybe we’ll try a non-stain cover and even include a promotional Frisbee.) 

Though there’s not as much practical information as in a typical edition of INSTORE, we think we’re providing something equally valuable: a collection of very different tales that will help you feel, more strongly than ever before, the power of the amazing business we work in.  

Be sure to let us know your favorite piece. Was it the rude comedy of Dave Salkin’s ?The Young Salesman? (warning: stay away from this story if you’re easily offended), Guy De Maupassant’s classic ?The Necklace,? Josh Wimmer’s ?A Super Jeweler? ? a sly take on superheroes and the jewelry business ? or Marjorie Hart’s memoir of a long-ago season at America’s top jewelry store, ?Summer at Tiffany?? Enjoy!

Wilkerson Testimonials

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
