Just a few words to all our wholesale and retail customers. We had a great response to some of our new items. The comments given to us are greatly appreciated. Hope to have more in the future.

With the holidays coming we have added some new Christmas watches. You can find them on our Christmas Watch page. I also wanted to take this time to wish those who would be traveling for the Thanksgiving Holidays to have a safe trip. And for everyone else a Happy Thanksgiving.

We are trying to get all orders wholesale and retail shipped out as quickly as possible. Many are for up-coming events and we understand the need to have all orders shipped out as quickly as possible. So another Thank you all for being so understanding. We have many new clients who are just ordering from us for the first time and their response to receiving their fashion jewelry has been Great. We are thankful for all our clients. Remember to have a look at our Christmas watches. Also be watching for more new items. And check the site for any ring we have been out of stock on as we have added new stock this week.

So to everyone have a happy holiday and be safe.

In recent weeks we have told you about how wholesale orders are done and retail orders. I hope some of the information has been helpful in your ordering. We are fast approaching the Holidays. We have added some great new items to help in sales. Please check out the new men’s rings as well as the new earrings and necklaces. These would make some great stocking stuffers! For retail they would make great extra gifts to have for any unexpected guests. Most importantly though is to pick an item you really like that way you could always keep it for yourself if you have no one else to give it too!

But seriously we do have some great new items. Also with the holidays so close we are trying to make sure all orders are shipped as fast as we can. But we are striving to make sure they all go out correctly. So, wholesalers, if you know you have a show coming up please make sure you get your orders placed in plenty of time. With retail remember through the holidays the post office is swamped with cards and packages so it might be a little slower.

To all of you who read our blogs I thank you. If you have any questions or ideas, we welcome those. Also any suggestions you might have would be great. We try to answer all emails so feel free to email any questions. Thanks for all the feed back about our fashion jewelry.

Hi Wholesalers!

I want to take a minute and go over the features on your wholesale homepage. We have been working hard to make ordering, tracking and basic information easier to find and do.

1. When you first log into your wholesale account, we have added a search tool bar right below the header. Just click on the type of item & enter the stock number and it will take you to that item’s page. We hope this helps cut down on your ordering time on restock orders.
2. We will always give you the estimated shipping date right below your account number, this way you can make appropriate shipping plans. Please keep in mind this date is not the delivery date to you, but the date we will ship.
3. You can now place WIN/WIN orders online! Just click the link Place A Win/Win Order Online and fill out the questionnaire. We thought this might help those who can’t call it in during our business hours because of their schedule. The questionnaire is the basic information that we need, of course if we have any questions we will call or email. Hope this feature is helpful!
4. The Control Panel Icons:
   • The House will take you back to your wholesale homepage
   • The Man is your account information: such as address, phone number and email address. If you ever need this information updated, this is the icon that will help you.
   • The Book is a log of your orders that you have placed online using your wholesale account number. If you forget to log in before starting your order, at checkout there is a place to enter your account number and password. As long as you log in before you complete the checkout process, it will log it to your account. We are now able to update the shipping quantities through this. Once your order has shipped, you can view the complete list of items shipping. Your shipping fees and any credits will be included on this final page also.
   • The Mailbox is where you can send messages to our wholesale department or receive messages from a representative.
   • TOP 30 will give you a list of the Top 30 selling rings derived from wholesale and retail orders combined over the last 30 days. This will help you get in mind what other people are actually purchasing and what you may want to consider carrying in your line.
5. Below the control panel on your homepage will be banners running any specials, giveaways, ect. Just click on the banner for more details. These specials are only viewable through your wholesale homepage.

We hope these current features are helpful to you. We are continuously working on new things that hopefully will be just as useful. If you have any suggestions or comments, PLEASE feel free to email those in! Your thoughts and needs are our top priorities and we will do what we can to accommodate. We want to make things easier, as we truly appreciate each and everyone of you.

Many people who decide to sell wholesale ask about the win win program. Let me explain a little about how it is done.

First of all each win win is put together for the customer. Since many of our customers sell different ways, some may do home parties, have an existing store front, or do retail shows, we try to put together items that will sell for them. Most people will start out with rings only. There are a few who may want a small selection of other items too. What I try to find out from people is how they are going to be selling the items. It helps me put together a good selection for them. After finding out information about where they are located and what items they are interested in, I start on their order.

I start with any new rings we may have and then go to the most popular styles. Choosing sizes and colors differently for some of the customers. If someone has a bridal shop, they mainly want clear stones. If someone sells to the Red Hat Society, they will want red, purple, pink or lavender colors. Sizes vary also and in the past size 6, 7, and 8 were the most popular sizes, but we have seen an increase in smaller sizes and in larger sizes. We have increased our line of size 4 and 5. We have always tried to carry sizes 9, 10, and 11. We now carry several styles in size 12. So we try to have a size for every lady. And I try to put all sizes in all my win win orders. My reason is for my customers to show that they have all these sizes available to sell to their customers. As with colors I try to have all colors represented in the trays, but the number one color is always clear. If set in a tray with a black pad, the clear stones will sparkle. With watches, I try to send one of each style depending on the customer and how many watches they would like in their first order. The same with necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

Re-orders for Win Wins
I ask that the customer have some input on their reorders. For Example: Do they need more of one size? What sizes they have enough in at the time of order? Is there a certain color they are out of or do they need more wedding sets? Do they want it all in Gold or Rhodium? Do they need any in sterling silver? Although they can’t give style numbers, their input is helpful to fill their reorders. If there are certain styles they may want then it is not considered a win win item. Only if I pick the style myself is it considered win win. But as I said earlier their input is very helpful.

The Return of Win Win Items
I do ask they keep the win win items for at least 60 to 90 days before calling for an exchange code. Without the exchange code they are subject to a 25% restocking fee. I only ask that the rings be in clean condition and the tags not wrote on. If it is an item that the customer has ordered their self, IT IS NOT A WIN WIN ITEM. I can only exchange items out if they are items we have chosen. All others are not exchangeable.

I hope this information will help you if you are considering taking advantage of the win win program. If you are considering selling fashion jewelry and this would be of interest, please feel free to call 1-800-373-7464. I look forward to any questions you might have.
