We had one customer who sent us this message, wanting an update on her engagement ring: “I promised myself I wouldn’t bother you about my ring’s progress, but I also promised myself to lose weight and stop swearing. Since I just ate almost a whole f#@&ing pecan pie, I figured I’d blow all my resolutions and ask how my beautiful ring is coming along? Hope to hear from you soon, but in the meantime, I hear a chocolate cake calling my name. Sh!t.”
We have another funny customer who would always sign her messages with the following: “Hugs and ass slaps, A.” — Jen Hollywood, J Hollywood Designs, Chester Springs, PA

Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life. Now it was time to get that “me time” every retailer dreams about. So, he chose Wilkerson to manage his going-out-of-business sale. White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience. I’ve had the best salespeople in the history of jewelry,” he says. “I recommend Wilkerson because they are really the icon of the jewelry business and going-out-of-business sales. They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
