About RJI Newsletter

Retail Jewelry Insights™ is published as an industry service by the The Gordon Company (TGC) located in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, a leading third generation, family business specializing in jewelry liquidation and promotional sales started by J.B. Gordon in 1903. Published as events warrant, RJI™ is an impartial, authoritative source of information and critical analysis of business trends to help retail jewelers make informed decisions, especially during these turbulent times.

With more than 100 years of combined experience in the jewelry industry, the executives of TGC launched the first issue of RJI™ in October with the goal of keeping jewelry store decision-makers informed after the financial collapse on September 15, 2008. For instance, the first e-newsletter warned jewelers about the severity of competition during the 2008 holiday season in, "Jewelers Must Face the Coming Price Wars".

In November, RJI™ alerted retailers that consumer's would slash luxury spending as the economy weakened in "Jewelry Boom Ends". Later, "Can Jewelers Afford to Wait?" correctly predicted the severity of the sales decline after Black Friday. Most recently "Was the Price Right?" cautioned jewelers about threats to asset based lending after sales collapsed in December.

The TGC team believes the current economy is an opportunity for jewelers to increase sales and strengthen their businesses, provided they have the right information. But, timely information and quality analysis can be costly, especially for smaller retailers. That's why RJI™ is FREE.

Retail Jewelers Insights™ is your "source" for information for survival.
