Jeweller Testimonials
Pat Holland J. Sidebotham & Son on the Guild Postal Valuation service
"The staff at the Guild of Valuers & Jewellers are very helpful and the postal valuation service is a fast an efficient way of providing valuations for our customers all year round."

Alame Fraser Ltd. on Guild Valuation Days

"We have been delighted with the Valuation Days that we have had here. Wayne is always very helpful and our customers always leave happy. Guild Valuation Days are not only a great addition to our services but are also greatly enjoyed by our staff."

Chris Wilson CA Wilson on the Guild Postal Valuation service

"We are really pleased to be able to offer our customers a fast and efficient postal valuation service and would certainly recommend the Guild of Valuers & Jewellers to any jewellers wanting to offer valuations to their customers."
 
Mr Homer, B L Homer on Valuation Days
"At first I was sceptical about what Valuation Days could do for my business, but we held our first one in July and it was a real success."

Robert Dreweatt, CE the Jewellers on Valuation Days 
"The initial idea of holding an NAG Valuation Day was to help me out with the valuations work so I could concentrate more on the business. Another key factor for me was the fact that I produce my valuations using GuildPro, so I wanted a service that could give me the same output and quality – as the valuations at these events are carried out by Guild valuers using GuildPro they are able to match them to my usual valuation documentation.

"A lot of our customers are also reluctant to post and these events mean they can sit down with the valuer and have it done face-to-face without the items leaving their sight at any time, which is a real selling point. I would say NAG Valuation Days have worked very well for us so far, with several new customers gained on our first event and another date already booked.

"Essentially I see this as a good way to build my overall valuations business, something I haven’t looked to do in the past because I didn't have time to carry out all the work myself. I certainly plan to continue holding Valuation Days regularly throughout 2008."

Clive Ranger, Cardiff on Valuation Days
“NAG Valuation Days have worked so well for us that we are now holding one every month – they generate great revenue and publicity for very little effort.”
 
Robert Corkin, Francis Wain Jewellers on Valuation Days
“We held 9 days last year in our Huntingdon branch and we already have 5 more booked for 2008. I'd definitely recommend the service to other jewellers - if you don’t try new things you won’t move your business forward and I think any retailer would be daft not to take up this opportunity and at least try it."
 
Kevin Coleman, Baker Brothers on Valuation Days
"I can honestly say that our Valuation Day was an excellent PR exercise, and essentially it got customers through the door. My tip for other jewellers would be to sell the concept to your customers as soon as they enquire – that really is the key time to clinch the sale. We already have more Valuation Days planned for our stores." 
 
Margot Walker, Wilfred J Edwards on Valuation Days
"Where else can customers have a one-to-one consultation with an expert about something so special to them? These events make for a truly unique customer experience, and we have had nothing but positive feedback.” 
 
Marsha Andrews, Lyons and Mountford on Valuation Days
“Our first Guild Valuation Day was a great success and I am confident that subsequent days will be equally successful.” 
 
S D K Jewellers on Valuation Days
“Our Valuation Day was a great success. Although I was told we would attract new customers on the day, I didn’t believe it until it actually happened. We won two new customers right off the street because of the buzz going on in the store!” Paula Wigg, A S Wigg & Son Ltd on Valuation Days
We held our first Valuation Day with the Guild of Valuers and Jewellers in July this year and had a fantastic day. Our customers all enjoyed the experience immensely, so much so that two have re-booked for the next valuation day! The interest has been amazing, a real talking point for the team and our customers.
 
I would thoroughly recommend an NAG Valuation Day to any independent jeweller who likes to surprise and excite their customers."
Sue Spicer, David Christopher Jewellers on Valuation Days

"The most positive thing about our Valuation Day was the reaction from our customers – they really enjoyed talking to the valuer face-to-face and the added security of having them valued there and then. We also significantly improved our takings on the day and all in all it was very worthwhile!"
 
Chris Hundy, Totnes Jewellers on the Guild Postal Service
"I have been using the service for several months and I’m very happy with it. It’s quick, efficient and the documentation is always clear and concise when it comes back. It also frees up my time for other things and means I can get valuations turned around quickly when I need to."
 
Anita Hilbern, Wessex Jewellers on the Guild Postal Service
“We have found the service very useful indeed, and in terms of both service and turnaround it has been excellent.”
