1 National Senior Independence Month is held to encourage the sharing of local resources to help the elderly live independent and full lives. That sounds like something you may want to get involved with. Roll out a pickup and delivery service for older customers who need repairs or would like to see a curated selection of your best classic jewelry. Seniors are a key if sometimes constrained market.

6 Music’s biggest night — aka the 65th Annual Grammy Awards — kicks off Red Carpet season. Slip into fashion-maven mode and get your customers excited about jewelry’s cutting-edge trends with a series of posts or tweets on what’s hot and what to look out for.

12 Ahead of INTERNATIONAL FLIRTING WEEK, write a blog post and a press release with your list of Top 10 flirting tips. (Tip #3 – interesting jewelry can serve as a prop and an ice-breaker!)

Choose the Easy Way to Retire with Wilkerson

After 47 years in business, Jim Saylor, owner of Jim Saylor Jewelers in Kapa’a, Hawaii, knew retiring successfully meant holding a going-out-of-business sale. He also knew he needed help to do it right. He chose Wilkerson. “I’ve heard a lot of different names of companies that do this type of thing,” says Saylor. “Wilkerson’s always seems to be in the forefront.” Saylor says the Wilkerson folks really cared about the success of the sale, making the next phase of his life a lot easier. “I’d recommend Wilkerson to anybody contemplating a change,” he says. “They are true experts.”
