(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK – The Plumb Club introduces two new podcasts into its library of retail educational information. The initial podcasts, which made their debut in April, focused on the bridal consumer, often the “point of entry” for many jewelers. The May podcasts discuss two timely topics. Since some stores remain closed at this time while others are preparing to reopen, the new podcasts discuss constant content creation to keep your customer engaged and your store in top-of-mind with consumers, while creating a customer experience and conveying your brand message via visual merchandising. Both podcasts will supply retailers with insights, knowledge and immediately actionable steps that can impact their business whether they are remaining closed or reopening.

Retail Reinvigoration – Visual Merchandising Tips That Stimulate Sales by Pam Levine encourages retailers to think of their merchandise presentations, window displays and environment as their “space of engagement”. She showcases how a store’s visual merchandising and the creation of a customer experience are the silent sellers that express and impress the brand into the hearts and minds of a customer. Pam provides pertinent questions that enable a store to conduct their own store assessment, tips on techniques and design, as well as information on the psychology behind product arrangement that stimulates buying decisions and inspirational merchandising resources. Pam Levine is a brand experience specialist and president of Levine Luxury Branding, a boutique agency that provides brand communication across every point of customer contact.

Continuous Content Can Create Customers by Monica Elias illustrates that getting to know your customers and creating a continuous stream of relevant content can not only keep your store top of mind with customers when they can’t get in to see you, but can inspire your customers as they plan for self-purchase and gifting opportunities. She discusses the three C’s of content – Connect, Create and gives information on how to make a connection between what’s trending in the media and what you have in your store. Monica shares creative ideas on how to story tell around product and shares easy tips on how to photograph and create video to bring it to life. Additionally, she gives great ideas on how to calendar your posts and seek coop help from your vendors. Monica Elias is the founder, CEO and executive producer of Elias World Media, a multimedia company specializing in video production, distribution and integration of content across television and digital screens.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
