We love our retailers! And this month our Retailer of the Month is Leslie Elliott Interiors at 9130 S. Sheridan in Tulsa, OK (918-622-6562). Leslie started her business as a design showroom and design firm 20 years ago, adding retail space 10 years ago.
Leslie Elliott first found us at the Atlanta market – she saw someone wearing Pick Up Sticks, fell in love with the necklace, and had to ask where to find us. She immediately picked up the line. When asked what she thinks of when she hears the words “Pick Up Sticks Jewelry,” Leslie replies, “It’s a versatile accessory to any outfit!”
Her best advice to retailers is to place your Pick Up Sticks display near the cash register – given that this is an add-on line, returning customers especially seem to love to add a charm or trinket to their ticket as they’re checking out. Her clientele likes the timeless classic look – the two sizes of key trinkets seem to sell best at Leslie Elliott.
She thinks that Pick Up Sticks has added a new level of excitement to her customers’ shopping experience. Generally a design store may require that orders be placed and customers wait on the item they’ve chosen. Leslie’s customers like Pick Up Sticks because they get instant gratification by being able to take home something they love. It works well for her to keep several of each charm, trinket and chain in stock so that her customers are happy and don’t have to wait for an order to be filled.
Her customers love that, even if a particular Pick Up Sticks design is out of stock in the store, they can special order and receive it within 3 or 4 days. Leslie says the same. When asked what we could improve about the line or customer service, she praises the accuracy and quick turn-around time of the orders.
