Stuller announces Bridge conference schedule
Back for its sixth year, the Bridge events will focus on helping retail jewelers do better business.

Lafayette, La.--Stuller is bringing its Bridge events back for 2015, which focus on helping retail jewelers do better business through educational seminars and group discussions.
The company will hold six events this year: from April 12 to 14; May 17 to 19; Aug. 23 to 25; Sept. 13 to 15; Oct. 4 to 6; and Oct. 18 to 20.
The two-day events help jewelers with topics such as new selling strategies, product and technology innovations, and other information jewelers need to know to keep their businesses competitive. Themes covered in the past have included customization, in-store experience and retail challenges and opportunities.
This will be the sixth year that Stuller is holding the events.
“The whole experience was incredibly valuable for me and for my company,” said Shelly Benes of Alvin Goldfarb Jeweler in Bellevue, Wash. “The Stuller staff was warm and hospitable, and we never felt pressure or were made to feel like this was a sales presentation, but more of a community celebration for us to be successful.”
