This Year, It’s Time to Emphasize Small Business Saturday … Plus More November Events

Once the preserve of big box retailers, the last week of November now offers something for everyone: Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Mobile Wednesday, even a Weed Wednesday for those who find all that family time a little too much. But for jewelers, it’s Small Business Saturday that deserves the thickest red circle in your calendar. This year, get serious. Hold a class, trunk show or wine tasting that underscores the personal touch you bring to retail in your community.

  • Nov. 1 Prep your red ribbon bracelets and blue circle earrings. November is National AIDS Awareness MontH and National Diabetes Month. Ask around to see if there is a role you can play in a related community event.
  • Nov. 11 Singles Day has become the world’s largest retail sales day. Celebrate the unattached lifestyle (“Yes, go ahead and buy those earrings for yourself!”).
  • Nov. 30 On Computer Security Day, review your passwords. And if you’re using the same password as you use for social sites — change it!

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.”
