Member Quote

#A woman from Taiwan was looking for a one and three quarter, round, E, VVS1, with a GIA cert. I couldn't find that stone in Chicago, at any price - but I found it on Polygon. It was available from a dealer in Richmond, Virginia, and I made the sale. The woman came back later with her family and altogether they've spent nearly $120,000 with us. Now each time she returns, she smiles. #

Email Newsletters Should Be In Your Marketing Mix

As a Marketing consultant, I am often surprised by how few businesses actually utilize or understand the effectiveness of email newsletters (e-newsletters.) Done well, they keep you connected to customers and potential clients, help you establish and reinforce your organization's brand, and provide an ongoing touchpoint for driving repeat business, new sales, event attendance, donations, and more.
