Blood in the Water, Sharks Circling

By EDAHN GOLAN                         Idex                   February 07, 2013  


Hardly anything trumps bad news, especially if it's full of blood and gore. Everyone rubbernecks to see the damage when passing a car accident. Serious twisted wreckage makes us slow down even more to get a longer look at the disaster. Bad news is great, especially for a news outlet. >>>

By Rob Bates                                            JCK                                             February 07, 2013   

After a solid decade of increased prices, gold may soon begin a "slow slide," according to a new Credit Suisse report, "Gold: The Beginning of the End of an Era."

Diamonds Are Forever....Extremely Expensive

Industry Leaders Magazine                                                             February 09, 2013        

               


Once upon a time, over the hills and far away, humankind found a diamond. Since then people have tried to illustrate the beauty of a diamond. Yet diamonds are indescribable as it is impossible to capture all the luster of a diamond in just a few words. >>>

Quit making excuses jewelry retailers!
By Brad Huisken                           Southern Jewelry News                         February  2013              


It's time to step it up and quit making excuses about the economy, the state of the industry, the building bust, etc. or you may find yourself stepping aside!  I say this with the highest degree of respect for the industry and the people within it. >>>

The State of Our Marketing Departments in 2013 

By Laura Lake                                 About.com Guide                            February 10, 2013    

         


The marketing industry has gone through an evolution over the last decade. Just take a look at what job postings look like now, compared to what they looked like in the 1990s. Even the role of Chief Marketing Officers has changed and seems to be going one of two different directions in businesses, either phased out or growing into a more complex position than it used to be. >>>
