CO-OP WITH MANICURIST!
Last time I got my nails done, I heard more talk of color and clarity than I do in my own office! All women are doing is staring at their hands and talking about what IS or IS not on their fingers. This is a great time for the manicurist to say "hey if you are looking for killer rings go to Johnson's. I even have a 15% off coupon for you." Take a few hours out of your day, drive to every manicurist in town and see what deals you can set up. What do you have to loose?

CO-OP WITH FRATERNITIES
& SORORITES!!
These are your next engagement ring customers, so get to them early! Make cute charms with their logo on them. Sponsor their events. Give them $50 off on Valentines day. There are two ways to market to someone. When they are looking for something or before they are looking for something in hopes they think of you when they begin to buy. If you get boys in your store buying jewelry before they are looking for a ring, chances are they will think of you when the time comes.
