Silver Industry Announces Jewelry Marketing Push
Communicated by JamesAllen Silver Jewelry.com
Washington, D.C. - July 15, 2008 .... The Silver Institute today announced that it will launch a consumer-marketing element as part of its wide range of industry programs. The "Silver Marketing Initiative" (SMI) will combine a media and grassroots campaign to increase awareness and encourage consumer purchases of sterling silver jewelry. It will also educate the consumer and trade press on sterling silver and be a source of market information and product news on sterling silver.
Commenting on the announcement, Michael DiRienzo, Executive Director of the Silver Institute, said, "The consensus of our Executive Committee is that the time is right to introduce an industry-supported marketing program in the U.S., with the initial focus being on silver jewelry."
He went on to add, "We are very pleased about appointing Michael Barlerin Associates as the consultant to the Silver Institute in the development and roll-out of the SMI."
Barlerin added, "I could not be more enthusiastic about this opportunity. In light of what has been happening to the price of the other noble metals, now is definitely the time for silver jewelry. I am also gratified by the response I have already received from key members of the jewelry trade when I told them that the SMI was to be launched, and I look forward to discussing mutual opportunities at the JA Show in New York City later this month."
The Silver Institute is an international industry association, which serves as the silver industry's voice in increasing public understanding of the many uses and value of silver. The Institute publishes the widely read World Silver Survey, an annual publication on the global silver industry. The Institute also works to increase global silver demand through a host of programs, and for years operated Silver Trust International, a program similar in mission to the SMI.
Michael Barlerin Associates, LLC was formed in 2005, with the objective of providing marketing and management services to the jewelry industry. Prior to forming the Company, Barlerin had been CEO, Americas for World Gold Council, a position he held for 15 years. He had previously held several senior marketing positions with Zale Corporation.

Thanks for the great article 1st! With aid of improving ur life on net, I’d like to introduce something about Jordan Shoes to u. That’s right, something about Air Jordan or we can say something about Nike Shoes (Nike Air)and whatnot. Depending on the economy crisis, so many people start purchasing items on net cos that can save much money. The point is how to search a good place for jordan shoes? There’re millions of site supply different kinds of air jordans and which site is the place we can order for jordan shoes? All of us know that some of them are unauthentic or their air jordans weren’t good enough. For example: my sister bought a pair of UGG Boots from one site ,then she got the shoes so fast, and my classmate purhcase UGG Slippers on the other site but she didn’t get the slippers for a long time. The same as Silver Jewelry, especially Tiffany such household name. Back to our question, how to find “Mr right”? My suggestion is contact their online support! There should be the great livesupport on the great site, so before you place the order for Jordan Shoes, go to their support! Good luck!
