Joan Charlene Little and the team at Genesis Jewelry received help from an unexpected source for a recent store move, and the result was a viral Facebook post. Says Little: “We moved into our new store on Labor Day weekend. We moved our inventory with the help of our local police department. Two officers and one K-9 officer. Very smooth, easy move. We posted photos on our Facebook page. It was a hit. For us, ‘viral.’”

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.”
