There Is More to a Jewelry Store than Jewelry

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

By Christopher Weis So youre thinking about opening a jewelry store. Have you given some thought to all of the elements that go into your plan? If youve only thought as far as the jewelry and the building, youre just getting started. There are literally hundreds of components that go into creating a successful, customer-friendly jewelry store. The three most vital things to be considered are packaging, display options and security. If you arent prepared for it, it is easy to get overwhelmed when faced with the task of assembling your store. Here are a few things to consider as you begin planning: Packaging: You can have the finest diamonds in the world. But what is the customer going to carry them home in? The jewelry box is one of the most recognizable trademarks of the industry. And youre going to need a lot of them. Your best bet will be to buy wholesale jewelry boxes in the most common shapes and styles, so that youre prepared for anything. If you are trying to establish your brand, you can have your wholesale jewelry boxes custom printed to fit your name and logo. You can also buy jewelry boxes in a wide variety of colors to fit the scheme of your business. A uniform line of wholesale jewelry boxes will go a long way towards building a professional image in the mind of your customers. Display: Jewelry display cases are second only to a quality product when it comes to factors affecting a successful sale. Part of the attraction to a particular piece is the way it is presented. Choosing which jewelry display cases are right for your store will depend largely on the amount of room that you have to work with. If you have the room, it is always best to go with a setup that allows the customer to view all of the jewelry at the same level. Most mall stores have their jewelry display cases lined up in such a way. If space is an issue, a vertical 360 jewelry display case is another attractive option. The 360 display case will conserve space, add depth to a room, and allow your jewelry to shine from all angles. You can even get L-shaped jewelry display cases to turn a corner when necessary. The most important thing is that you pick your display case based on the space you have available. Security: One of the most important components of operating a successful jewelry store is an effective security system. And that starts with security cameras. A real or fake security camera can go a long way to deterring theft and burglary. Installing even a fake security camera sends a message to would-be criminals that their actions are being watched closely. If you can, a series of real security cameras is your best option. But you can also mix and match a few fake security cameras along with your real system. Just make sure the real security cameras are installed in the areas of most concern. Of course in the jewelry industry, security goes beyond the cameras. It would also be a good idea to install a door entry chime to alert your staff when a customer enters the store. You can cover a greater range with your security cameras if they are behind a mirrored globe in the ceiling. It is hard to avoid a camera when you arent sure which direction it is pointing. Jewelry store owners would also be well advised to install some sort of alarm system to deter after-hours theft. All of this information is still just a starting point when it comes to setting up your store. But considering all of the variables up front will save you a lot of headaches down the line.

Why is Everyone So Afraid to Talk About Religion in our World?

Friday, August 10th, 2007

By Lance Winslow It is amazing the amount of problems that are caused amongst family and friends over the discussion of religion? What do they say; never talk about religion or politics amongst mixed company? Indeed, and for those who have they know that it can rapidly decay a conversation into a shouting match faster that the World land speed record holder on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. But why does this happen? Why are folks so caught up into these pre-indoctrinated fairy tales that they cannot see the forest for the trees? And why will each of these humans bet their life that they are right and fight to death for what they believe? Why are humans programmed in such a way? Who does it serve; certainly not the individual and definitely judging by all the current conflicts in the World not the whole of humanity. So may I then ask since all religion does is cause conflict, chaos and controversies that often turn into shouting matches, hatred and wars; then why do we allow these religions to persist in our World? World religions are not helping with the forward progression of the human species and the sooner we get rid of them, perhaps the better for all concerned. We need not fight over differences on belief based on ancient really just literature, which was created to enslave the masses.

The Dating Ritual

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

By Janet Reiss Dating is a complicated affair. It involves the initial contact, the getting to know you, the first meeting, the second and subsequent dates, the first kiss, the first moment of true intimacy, sharing hopes and dreams, introducing friends and family, daily contact, blah, blah, blah. It’s like a never-ending story, yet a story that many of us strive to become a character in. This never-ending story is all part of a ritual that humans go through. The ritual personifies what it is to be human. Of course, the ritual exists so that the human race will multiply forever. A pretty important point, if you ask me. One of the most important rituals that we humans do is called “dating.” Ahh, to be young again. To be able to pick and choose and go through dates like they were calendar pages to be tossed away with each passing day. Remember how much fun that was? Dating is the cause and effect, the ultimate “in person”, where you have to show up on your best behavior, breath fresh, clothes clean, looking good. You worry before, during, and after. The dates stack up. They multiply. One after another, until one day, the date sticks. Sticking is what we are looking for. Sticking is when the date becomes a relationship. How does a first date morph into a relationship? It takes time, although we would like to believe that it could happen sooner than later. The morph is that fluid motion that exists between you and your partner. The hit and miss. The touch and go. The dance. When the dance ends the music truly begins. Love is funny that way. When you least expect it, the first date leads to a relationship, the relationship to a commitment and the commitment to forever. Like I said, dating is a complicated affair, but an affair that pays off in the end. JJR NY Janet J. Reiss, LCSW, is licensed as a clinical social worker in New York.

More on Complexity and the Lemon Vehicle

Monday, August 6th, 2007

By Donald Ladew Remember when you opened the hood of your car and saw the ground beneath the engine? Now you open the hood and there’s not enough room left in there for an underfed mouse. The space shuttle cockpit is child’s play by comparison. Do people actually work on this thing! Not unless they have fingers like a Rhesus monkey, can see through solid metal like Superman, and have advanced degrees in engineering and computers. That’s right computers! These days if the seat temperature isn’t controlled to a 10th of a degree the consumer doesn’t want it. Pretty soon the seats will vibrate like those heart-shaped beds at the No-Tell Motel. Okay, okay! Perhaps I’m getting a little carried away. The complexity of modern vehicles has grown extraordinarily in the last fifteen years. It isn’t enough that these vehicles have design flaws. It isn’t enough that attention to real quality has fallen by the wayside. Now even the mechanics are bewildered. When faced with diagnosing a problem the average mechanic must employ a confusing array of computerized test equipment. This is a guess, but I estimate that this so-called sophisticated test equipment isn’t even in the right problem area 50% of the time. There was a time when the mechanic started the engine, listened, or maybe drove it around the block after which he would tell you what was wrong, and he’d be right a large part of the time. Now they connect your vehicle to an engine test stand that looks like something from Apollo mission control. More often than not the computer will say you don’t have a problem or that you have a problem that isn’t vaguely related to what you are experiencing. You protest. The mechanic says, wisely. “The test equipment doesn’t lie, it’s computer controlled!” He says this with the assurance of someone who still believes in the tooth fairy, and that children are conceived under cabbage leaves. It is only later that you might think to say, “Wasn’t the computer programmed by humans?” And how about the old saying, “to err is human? Or GIGO: this is a computer programmer thing. I means ‘garbage in, garbage out’.” Here’s the point of all this. There are many reasons why you happened to get a “Lemon”. You were not, however, personally selected by Ford, Volkswagen or God to be punished because you are a bad person. The thing to remember is that you can do something about it. Whatever you do don’t assume that the dealership and its technicians know what’s wrong with your vehicle, or that all that wonderful test equipment can figure it out. You want the complexity gone from your life. Prediction is the basis of sanity. If you are constantly wondering if your vehicle is going to stall in traffic, the unpredictability of it all can be pretty darn depressing. The first step to handling is to understand how it happened and next determine how you can fight for your rights. The understanding part is one of the reasons you are here reading this essay.

5 Steps to Triple Your Marketing Effectiveness

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

By Leigh Ann Rodgers As small business owners we are eager to get business. When it comes to marketing our businesses we often jump without looking and end up scratching our heads wondering why nobody is pounding on our door begging to buy our product or service. Marketing is no easy feat and there is no easy formula for success. It takes work and effort to find the best way to attract people and get them to purchase your goods or services. Before you spend a dime on logos, business cards, brochures or ads, please read and think through these five things. I promise you that if you really do your homework and think these through, your marketing efforts will be more successful and focused. 1. Define your target audience. Just whom should you be marketing to anyway? This is a BIG question. You may just want to skip to the next one but dont. Clearly identifying a very specific target audience is really important. Your target audience should be very narrow and easy to find. It should be a group you know well or can find out a lot about. A mistake many business owners make is having a target audience that is too large such as: women or small business owners. Instead of women, target women over the age of 40 who exercise 3 times a week or more or small business owners who own restaurants. 2. Define your niche. What do you want to be known for? What is a niche? A niche is something unique and special that you offer to your customers. The more specific and focused it is, the greater your success will be. I struggled with this when I started coaching. I thought I had a niche: Small Business Coaching. However, I soon realized that small business coaching was too broad. It could mean financial analysis, writing business plans, or how to face fears. I enjoy working with a lot of people who have a lot of different concerns and goals but that does not help me market my business. Finally, I wised up and realized that many people were coming to me for help to get more clients and customers. So I revised my niche: Business Owners who offer a service and want to get more clients without breaking their bank. See how much clearer that is? 3. Define the benefits that your product/service offers. What do your products/services do for your customers/clients? When asked what we do, most people talk about their title or tell you what product they sell or service they provide. This is BORING! It rarely captivates a potential client to here me say, I am a Small Business Coach. Instead, you should share the benefits you provide. What is in it for the customer? I am better off describing what I do for my clients by saying, I help business owners in the service industry market their businesses on a shoestring budget. 4. Come up with concrete ways to give your business legitimacy. Why should they trust you just who are you anyway? There are a lot of businesses out there giving a lot of different messages. People are overwhelmed with choices. Chances are good you have tough competition. Your potential customers need to know that you are going to do what you say you will. Many people feel safer choosing a big company rather than an unknown solo business owner. It is up to you to let your clients know that they can rely on you. Do things to build their trust. You could give them a sample or show them examples of your past work. Get testimonials from satisfied customers and/or get a list of references and give this to your customers or post it on your website. Offer guarantees. Most importantly DO what you promise youre going to do every time. And, if for some reason you cant figure out a way to make it ok with the customer. The way to gain credibility from the start is to get referrals and the only way to do that is to offer outstanding quality and service consistently. 5. Analyze the competition and determine what makes you special. Just what are you up against who is the competition? This is not always a fun thing to do so many business owners kind of glide past this question. We know a little about them (the competition that is) but that isnt enough. If you want people to pick your business, you have to know who else is out there, what they are offering, what they are charging and how their clients feel about their services. Do some homework. Get on the internet and review your competitors’ websites. Read their brochures, talk to people who have used their services. Then, figure out what you can do to stand out. What defining feature or service can you offer. Bottom line- why should someone pick your business over another one? I urge you to take some time to really think these questions through. It is important to review these on a regular basis, because things change, people change and so do our products and services. If you would like me to brainstorm and work through these questions with you, just give me a call or send me an email. I want to help you succeed and grow your business.

Making Glow in the Dark Paint “Give your Art some Pop”

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

By Troy Myers If you have never seen it you are missing something. If you have never used it thats a shame. If you love art this will blow you away. If your are crafty this will give you a million ideas in a flash of a second. If you are wondering what I am talking about it is Glow in the Dark Paint and Powder. The use of glow in the dark paints for fine art and craft projects is not widely known. Most people who appreciate art or are artist themselves have probably never heard of it or thought about using glow in the dark paint in their art or for their craft projects. But they should. Glow in the dark powders and paint have come along way. Years ago the best glow in the dark stuff availible was a mixture of Zinc sulfide and copper. It smelled like bad eggs and had a glow time and brightness that was less than impressive. Not true anymore. A new type of glow in the dark powder has arrived and it will blow you away. Called Strontium Aluminate these powders are awsom. If you would like to know more about the chemistry of Strontium please visit www.GloNation.com and you can find out how it works. The pigments that have been developed are Green, with a glow time around 12 hours, Teal or AKA Aqua 10 hours, Blue, Purple or violet around 4 hours and red around 1/2 an hour. The times I just stated are real they will glow that long. The pigments glow very brightly and are just way cool. The two premier artist in this medium are Anders Knuttson www.andersknuttson.com and Tom Bacher at www.tombacher.com. These two excellent artist are light years ahead and the pioneers of this type of art. Please visit their sites. The will take your breath away. For crafters you can use these pigments in more than paint, It works in any clear substance except water. It needs to be suspended. Use it in plastics, silicones, gels if you can think it, you can make it glow. When painting with it you have to think in a different way. You must remember what will it look like in the dark. You can do some rally cool stuff with it. You can have a canvas it would appear that it is plain white, turn out the lights and you could have a whole painting glowing. The powder can mix in a white paint and glow green red, blue or violet. Neat huh? Make glow in the dark candles. Mix it in with candle gel and they will glow before you even light them. I hope this gives you a bunch of ideas so throw in the glow and have a blast.
