Autumn 2012 stand photos
We just realised that we didn't post photos of our stands at the NEC Autumn Fair and Top Drawer Autumn... How remiss of us, especially when the stands looked as fabulous as they did....
Both stands were very different to reflect the different styles of exhibition. For Autumn Fair we took all of our collections while Top Drawer was a more intimate affair...

Autumn Fair
It was a great show, we talked to lots of people. We took orders, ate our own body weights in show chocolates and tootie frooties, watched the catwalk and enjoyed the buzz of the show.
Mad moment of the show was definitely when a real life teeny tiny bat landed on our trees (showing Blowing in the Wind) Very surreal - Bats in Hall 4 !?!
We were thrilled to have our jewellery selected for two of the catwalk models (Pics at the side) who looked very classy wearing 345Wrap, Narate & AnyWhich Way.
We'd like to say a really big THANK YOU to everyone who came to see us, to say hello and to view the new collections and place orders.
We are hard at work finishing off the new catalogues which should be with you shortly.....
Here comes Autumn !

12 tips to get the most out of visiting an exhibition or trade show
Some people really like this aspect of their business, they enjoy talking to their suppliers and seeing the new products but some of us can find it a bit overwhelming. This guide will show you how to get the best out of your visit to a trade show.
Before you go: Pre-show preparation:
Things have changed a lot in the exhibiting world over the past few years. The bigger shows now have their own “apps” that you can download way before the show begins which makes your research and your visit to the show more productive.
Register in advance for pre-show news, information and updates – Organisers are keen to showcase their exhibition and will send you out lots of information that should give you some clarity about which companies you would like to see more of.
It goes without saying that you should be registered for the trade publications relevant to your show – Each show now also has a media partner who will be a relevant trade publication – Call them and ask for a copy – or view them online and do some homework – Your time is valuable and you don’t want to spend it traversing exhibition halls needlessly.
Finally, and this isn’t strictly a pre show preparation, but its very important so its worth mentioning. Most trade fairs now run seminars for visitors on topics relevant to their industry – Obviously keep in mind that the aim of these is to sell you something, but sales pitches aside, they are very useful for snapshots and soundbites on an industry and development and current issues within an industry.
What you need to know when visiting a trade exhibition !
Firstly, the exhibitors have spent a lot of money and time to make their stands look as good as possible for your convenience. Let’s run through the preliminaries that enable you to spend your valuable time at the show as profitably as possible:
1. Wear comfortable shoes:
Yes, really this is worth writing. You will cover miles and miles of walkways, this is no fun at all, if you are wearing heels (ladies you know who you are!) or have uncomfortable shoes. Sacrifice vanity for sanity on this one please. Also, never, ever, ever wear NEW shoes to a trade show !
2. Layer up:
Car parks are cold (You know I’m talking about the NEC here), whereas exhibition halls are warm, or cold if you’re under air conditioning units…. The best idea is to wear layered clothing so you can take off, or add on layers as necessary.
3. Drink lots of water:
Stay hydrated, so you make good buying decisions. And make time to eat when you get hungry. Carry snack bars with you to keep your sugar levels up, so you can stay focused.
4. Rest when you feel tired:
The lighting in exhibitions can be very yellowish, which makes your eyes strain, so take plenty of rest, otherwise its no fun at all. Try to build in a small treat for yourself somewhere in the day. A mini massage, a visit to a supplier you really like, a wicked lunch - anything that keeps it fun for you !
5. Gameplan:
The halls at exhibitions can be massive, so having a rough gameplan will help you stay on track, and don’t have to run around in a panic afraid that you’ll miss something ! It goes without saying that some shows are bigger than others, some can be done in a day, some are simply too damn big - I’m thinking primarily of the NEC Spring and Autumn Fairs here - give yourself time - don’t turn into a pressure cooker !
6. See the companies you really need to see first : so they’re off your list and you can relax and enjoy the rest of the day without pressure
7. Allocate some specific time to look for new products: After all you can see most of your present suppliers at any time, or they’ll come and visit you, whereas its new product and suppliers you really need to search out at a show. Few things compare to the thrill of finding a new product or supplier that you know is going to bring great results for you, so its worth investing some time into this and creating this opportunity – the halls are simply too big to leave this to chance.
8. Have a show budget:
Work out how much money you have to spend, how much you want to spend and keep a track of each order you’ve placed. Your accountant will love you for this. Remember to allocate some of your budget to new suppliers / new product - we all need new products to keep us enthusiastic !
9. Keep a note of how much you’ve spent and which delivery date you’ve asked for:
Immediate, next week, or delayed. This will help you to organise your schedule when you get back to your shop.
10. Wheels:
If you’re going to be spending some time at a show, have a bad back, or plan on picking up a lot of literature (and there’s usually lots on offer) then consider taking a small suitcase on wheels with you. These are comfortable, save your back and allow you to pack away anything you don’t need, such as coats and scarves. How big? No bigger than aircraft cabin luggage !
11. Pre show planning :
So important I’ve mentioned it twice. Most trade magazines will be posted out between one or two weeks before a show so they’ll be fresh and topical. They’ll have show previews in them, with lots of new product. They’ll also have sections on new trends - make the time to study these magazines as well as doing your own research, so you’ll be able to spend your time effectively at the show.
12. Accommodation :
Finally, if you’re coming a long way, or you need to stay a couple of days? Book a hotel room, make a night of it, empty a bottle of wine or two, put the world to rights, and have some fun !
All work and no play makes for no fun !

22 tips for maximising Easter retail sales.
Is your shop ready for increased Easter holiday sales ?
When each holiday rolls around in the retail calendar we know that retail sales will increase both instore and online. Are you ready to take advantage of the sales opportunity that Easter brings?
Are you ready to sell Easter !
If that sounds like a misnomer I assure you that it’s not ! I’m talking here about your expectations from this holiday period. The one thing that continually dominates the news is the recession. Speculation on what might happen over the next few months is really best left to the banking experts. But how it affects our businesses is for us to determine.
After the well known death and taxes, there are two more guarantees that you can bank - holidays will happen, and people will still spend money on gifts and food for the holiday season.
Every year Christmas is the dominant period of retail sales in the UK. But retail sales increase around all the major holiday periods. We also see increased sales for special events and days like Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. If you’re fortunate enough to have an online store attached to your bricks and mortar store, then here’s some good news – Worldwide, the trend for online shopping is increasing and is unlikely to slow.
This year more people will buy online,
* Social networks will contribute widely to customers buying decisions.
* Consumers will increasingly search for bargains, added value and special offers
* Comparison shopping will increase
As we all know, buying for Christmas can start as early as September but the real peak happens in the first week of December. While Easter isn’t on the same scale as Christmas, it is a chance to shout about your business.
The key to successful holiday retailing is preparation. Last minute cobbling together of a display or an offer just isn’t going to bring you optimum results. Here are 22 key tips for maximising Easter sales:
1. Is your online store ready? It is no use waiting until April to set up the store as you just won't make it in time.
2. Is your bricks and Mortar store ready? Do you have a theme, a window display, a colour theme, and an offer ?
3. Do you have the products to sell? Getting the stock can be tricky the closer you get to a popular holiday so you need to know what you will need now. Its one of the vagaries of business in the UK that a holiday means that suppliers just disappear – so be ready with your stock levels in advance – if you can’t afford to get all the stock in at once, book it in on a rotational basis so that different suppliers drop stock in each week – this has the added benefit of keeping your store looking fresh, but might affect the “wow” factor of a new display ?
4. For online sales - When is the delivery cut off date? You can’t sell to a customer expecting 4. Easter delivery if you’re not going to get the product in time. It’s vital to tell your customers what they can expect if they buy later than a specific date.
5. Do you have a safe checkout process setup ? This will aid sales as it builds buyer confidence – as does adding an SSL certificate to your online store.
6. Think about promotions? You can setup special Google AdWords Campaigns just for key holidays and help drive traffic to your store.
7. Use the Price Comparison portals to promote your products and special offers and drive qualified traffic to your webstore. This doesn’t work quite so well for “aesthetic purchases” as it does for branded goods, but if price comparison is your bag, go ahead and do it well.
8. Are you offering holiday specials? You can put up products that have special pre-Easter offers such as free delivery. This can aid conversions.
9. Add special holiday keywords? Make sure that you add the keywords to your Meta-keywords with plenty of time to get crawled by the search engines long before the holiday date. Also make sure that you add Special Holiday Gift category names and description text to match up with your keywords.
10. Price points can be all important , so don’t forget to stand back and look at your offering to make sure that you’ve catered for price ranges for all budgets.
11. Help them out – give your customers ideas. Take some of the strain out of shopping for them, set up special categories like "Gifts for him", Gifts for Mum", "Gifts for my favourite nan", "Oooh she might like this gifts " etc. Be inventive - you need to stand out in a crowd. I always think that if you make someone laugh then you’ve made them remember you ! Obviously this is to be used with care !
12. Don't forget Google It might take weeks to crawl and index your new content so allow enough time for the googlebots to find your content and index it.
13. Gift wrapping and gift cards can be easily added in the shopping basket so you might want to think about offering free gift wrapping and free gift delivery.
14. Have your “Wall of desire” right next to your till. Whether it’s chocolate, key rings, pens, notebooks, nail varnish or whatever, make sure you have some fun fripperies right next to your till for impulse purchases.
15. Free shipping for all Holiday Purchases, or anytime, can be a great incentive to buy online. If you are selling a product online you can structure an average shipping price into your costs.
16. Time the shipping and delivery so that as you get closer to the holiday shipping is no longer free but perhaps at a premium to ensure delivery. (if you have the technological savvy to do this) For bricks and mortar stores, consider opening a little earlier, or staying open a little later if there are shoppers around.
17. Give your store a holiday theme. It is easy to setup a new style and change the colours and banners. You can even start doing that right now and make that the live style later in the year.
18. Set up a count down - it can be as easy as a little added text to your home page. For your bricks and mortar store, go all out on the Theming – this will create interest and interest creates shoppers.
19. After the holiday is a great time for specials and people on holiday like to shop around for bargains. So don't think everything stops on April 8th. The smart shops will be ready with the next campaign. (Spring, followed by the jubilee followed by the Olympics in case you were wondering)
20. Remember you don't need thousands of products just a few of the products that sell. Focus on quality and for online provide good content (descriptions, images etc) for bricks and mortar stores make sure your seasonal display is self evident in your window (ie before entering ) and instore (upon entering)
21. How much product – It doesn’t have to be acres of product – just a representation or suggestion. On the subject of decoration, to my knowledge no-one has ever complained about too much Easter decoration ! So go crazy with the bunnies and the pastels ! If it makes people smile, feel nostalgic (even for a second) then it makes them feel good and you’re heading in the right direction.
22. Finally, don’t be limited by convention! Think outside the box and come up with other ways to increase Easter traffic and sales to your business. For instance, if the products you sell don’t really have an Easter holiday theme---so what?
Have a go, call it an Easter promotion, give mini eggs to your customers, ask them to guess the weight of the egg, anything you can think of, Come up with a cute Easter theme for email marketing newsletters and promotions. You’re only limited by your imaginations!
It isn’t too late to make the most of the increased sales from Easter!

International Women's Day
Happy International Women’s Day ladies!
This is a day where us girls get to celebrate our achievements, the power of our strength, our femininity and how far we’ve come since this national day originated over 100 years ago.
We thought long and hard about the perfect accessory to showcase today, one that needs no talking, that speaks for its pretty self, and that embodies the strong yet feminine creatures we are–and we think we've found it here in our sterling silver feather pendants.
They're beautiful and delicate with a strong core ! We like them because the shape of the feather seems as though its dancing - almost as if the movement of the strands of the feather has been captured for ever. best of all you can wear this at a fashionably long length, or it would look striking grouped together with another pendant or two to make a personal fashion statement.
Now, we understand not all of you are a silver jewellery loving laydeee because not all of us are the same, but we all share a common link (besides our love for jewellery), our strength and accomplishments.
Its not an easy feat to pull of in this modern age - being tough, yet caring, feminine yet strong, looking good while having no time to ourselves - so all in all for every woman who walks that thin line everyday - lets celebrate today !

Wrap Bracelets - The Summer Sensation...
Wrap, wind, fold & bind....
That pretty much sums up how our new collection works.... Wrap it, wind it, fold it, then bind it with the adorable silver flower catch. Luxurious, easy to wear casual chic... for the urban beachcomber !
We’re crazy about these bracelets right now. They offer a delicious deco design too through the mixing of incongruous elements like leather with crystal and cord with pearl, and they're deliciously affordable even though they don't look like they should be !
So, back to the bracelets, between the combination of pearls (faux but still pretty as ever), shiny crystal beads, and those (gasp) semi-precious stunners, we think its going to be hard for anyone to resist the combination of this collections pretty and playful appeal.
Let’s face it, we all love a good trend. What’s on trend for this summer and even moving over into fall are these leather wrap bracelets. These bracelets can be found with beads or semi-precious stones in all styles and colors, inspired by the wrap bracelet trend started by Chan Luu in America, this is our take on the upcoming wrap trend.
