-Alison Cantley, Trussville, AL “Jewelry Business Advisor was mailed to our business address. We get a TON of magazines, news articles, catalogues etc. so it is rare that I actually pick one up.

Something on the cover must have peeked my interest, because I started to flip through it….trust me…this is rare. As I thumbed through the magazine, not only did it have relevant articles, but it also had information regarding suppliers that we currently use. So, needless to say…job well done!”

-Bill Johnson, El Paso, IL “Jewelry Business Advisor has been like a breath of fresh air for me and my business. Their articles are abundant, relevant and useful in my daily operations.

Much less ad heavy than what I’m used to, which is great, so the ads they do have really catch your eye. The fact that I can receive JBA for free is amazing, especially since the look and information are of such high quality. I’m already looing forward to the next issue!”
