1. Introduction--Centurion 2012 Holiday Success Index

Dear Prestige Fine Jewelry Retailer,

The Centurion is conducting a weekly spot-check survey of top fine jewelry stores to gauge how holiday business is trending. This week's survey covers sales for the second full holiday week, from December 3 through December 9, 2012. It has two questions and will take less than a minute to answer.

Knowing 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
