Why Alliteration Could Jazz Up Your Jingle

When you need a phrase to stick in the mind, try this trick of sound.

“Alliterate or die!” That was a poster a former colleague saw pasted to a newsroom wall. Alliteration’s power to make words stick owes itself to the repetition of sounds. It’s something a lot of jewelers already know, hence “Wine Wednesdays” at Erik Runyan Jewelers in Vancouver, WA, or “Free Cleaning Friday” and “Saturday Style” at Fakier Jewelers in Houma, LA. Manic Mondays, Too Good to be True Tuesdays, Fried Food Fridays … once you get started using alliteration to jazz up your work week, it’s really hard to stop.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
