Why a Mood Board Can Help You Connect with Your Customer

In her recently posted MasterClass on management, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour notes that one of designer Michael Kors’ greatest strengths is that “he understands absolutely who his customers are and responds to that with his creations.” To achieve something similar, she recommends setting up a mood or inspiration board in your back office, where you and your staff pin up visualizations of “who your customer is,” and other insights such as where you think she goes for holidays, where you think she might live, whether she is married or has children, and what kind of culture she is interested in. “All of this will feed into what you’re putting out there for the world to see and absorb and delight in,” Wintour says.

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.”
