The Pictures say it all…

While things are certainly not perfect in retail land, it’s all smiles at IMG. Ideal Marketing Group member stores are doing much better than most jewelers in 2011. We had a great turn out for our Las Vegas dinner at Smith & Wollensky, 35 people representing 15 stores across the country. Business has been up this year, 23% in the first quarter, and our stores are working hard to have the right products and advertising to finish 2011 strong. Scott Sedlacek of The HRA Group gave a great talk and introduced our amazing new HeartStar2, the worlds only square shaped HeartStar diamond. Ok, Ok…here are the pics….
