Helzberg Diamonds to Launch ‘Silver Salutes the Service’ Initiative

Silver Promotion Service Partners with Helzberg on Jewelers for Veterans Project

New York, NY (November 9, 2015) — The Silver Promotion Service (SPS) announced that it has joined forces with Helzberg Diamonds on a veterans focused program to be launched in conjunction with Veteran’s Day. The in-store and e-mail campaign will spotlight Helzberg’s new silver collection featuring the branches of the US Military. The in-store promotion will run in Helzberg’s stores in military locations and in key markets including Seattle, San Antonio, and Washington DC. Point-of-sale materials, provided by the SPS, will direct consumers to the Jewelers for Veterans Foundation whose mission is to connect veterans with employment opportunities within the jewelry industry. The program will run until the end of November.

Commenting on the partnership, SPS Director Michael Barlerin said, “We could not be more proud about the opportunity to support Helzberg’s commitment to the veterans. We believe that the particular collection of silver beads and charms they have created will both resonate with and honor members of the military community.”
