Hints & Tips

These articles were written as general feedback to the grant applicant fields we have seen during the short history of the competition. They address business challenges that seem to be common issues for new jewelry companies. We recommend that all candidates read these articles prior to submitting a grant application packet. The contents are specifically tailored to companies attempting to become national branded jewelry firms. They will not be as applicable to smaller, local businesses. However, some of the general principles may still be helpful.
