We've been hard at it at National Jeweler over the past two months, but we're finally slipping comfortably into our new role as an exclusively online content provider. After restructuring workflow and staff and fine tuning our editorial mission, we're happy to be firing on all cylinders. I'm sure you all know that feeling of finally cresting the hill after a strenuous climb.
Our little secret is that we can't do our jobs without learning everything we can about yours. So there's nothing we'd love more than to spend some time with you at the show. While we'll be moving about the floor over the show's three days, Sunday through Tuesday, we all check back regularly into the National Jeweler booth.
So please, stop by, if only to chat a bit. As business begins to pick back up, your experiences and advice are probably much more valuable than you might guess for sharing with your peers. And we'll be glad to help you do that!
Wishing you success—Whitney
