1. Introduction--Centurion 2011 Holiday Success Index

Dear Prestige Fine Jewelry Retailer,

Each week between now and the end of the year, The Centurion will be conducting a quick Spot-Check survey of top fine jewelry stores to gauge how business is trending. This week's survey covers sales for the first full holiday week, from November 29 through December 5, 2011.

Getting a feel for how colleagues are performing week by week is a great benefit to top-level fine jewelers nationwide. Survey results will be reported anonymously in the aggregate each week. We very much appreciate your participation to benefit all better jewelry retailers and Centurion invitees.

Best regards,

Howard Hauben
The Centurion
