ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EVENTS A RETAIL JEWELER CAN PROMOTE IS THE ESTATE JEWELRY TRUNK SHOWING
Douglas M. Liebman has been promoting these highly trafficked and profitable events since 1981.
A series of trunk showings with the Sakowitz department store chain launched one of the most rewarding events in the jewelry industry today.
Your store will not only have the most anticipated event of every year, but will gain the experience and benefit of Doug’s expertise year-round.
From assistance with appraisal values to guidance and offers for clients who have items for sale, your store will become the destination in your area for those who have antique, vintage or modern estate pieces with ANY need.
The trunk showing of estate jewelry is contracted with each store for a period of two (2) weeks. The inventory will arrive with bar-coded computer tags showing pertinent information and triple keystone prices. The total value of the shipment will be a minimum of 1.2 million dollars at triple key. A memo with cost prices breaks the items down by type and SKU numbers in ascending order, making the identification of any item quick and simple.
Each item has a gold-colored thermal transfer label with a bar code, SKU number,
metal type, gem identification, carat weight(s), and maker (if known) and triple
keystone numeric reference.
