How to get money back into your local communityAs independent jewelry stores, you are often more than just a store for many of the locals.You are a part of the community. You know the names of your customers, what their interests are and often their entire family and their interests.  You keep up to date with what's happening in the community and contribute to charities, schools and organisations.

If this sounds like you, then you may be interested in learning more about how to make your local community prosper.

A great place to start is watching the following videos:
