Plymouth, IN, November 13—Plymouth's Brian and Lori VanDuyne, owners of Fernbaugh's Diamonds and Fine Jewelry, return this month from a Colorado-based business improvement "Destination BootCamp", where they learned hundreds of new methods to bring more customers and tourists to Plymouth.  The VanDuyne's were among a group of business owners from across North America who attended the two and one-half day, 20-hour workshop.

The two and one-half day "Destination Bootcamp", created by marketing consultant Jon Schallert, teaches independent business owners on how to reposition their businesses as "consumer destinations".  According to Schallert, a business using his "Destination Business" strategies can compete effectively with superstores like Wal-Mart and Home Depot, and significantly impact a local community.  According to Schallert, it is not uncommon for destination businesses to create change in an entire city, by drawing consumers from miles around, from outside the immediate marketplace of a community.

"With the principles we learned at the BootCamp, we will be able to satisfy more of our customers' needs and make purchasing from Fernbaugh's Diamonds and Fine Jewelry, a much more enjoyable, fun experience.  Additionally, we will be attracting more visitors and tourists from outside Plymouth, says Brian VanDuyne.  "With what we've learned, there's no reason we can't attract  multi generational customers from hundreds of miles away."

Established in 1933 by Earl and Geraldine Fernbaugh. The small jewelry repair shop grew into a jewelry store with a repair shop in house. Fernbaugh's moved to its current 416 East Broadway location in downtown Logansport in 1947. Since Earl Fernbaugh's passing, the store was operated by Alvin Scheerer, Florence Sutton, and Oris McGuire. Since 1982, the store has been owned and operated by Oris and Sally McGuire. Their son, Derek, daughter Lori VanDuyne, and son-in-law Brian VanDuyne bought the Logansport location in 2005 and opened a second, stylish Plymouth location at 206 North Michigan Street in February, 2006.
