Jewelers & Suppliers of America (MJSA) plans to launch a collaborative
effort to help its members find “inspiration” and “improve” their business with
the help of a jewelry designer community.
The MJSA
Designer Collaborative, which will start August 1, will include the “MJSA
Jewelry Designer Network” to share information, solicit ideas, and test new
business models and opportunities. It will also comprise a quarterly
e-newsletter, Design Insights, featuring news as well as pricing strategies
from consultant and award-winning author Marlene Richey. Other benefits
include access to a members-only online archive of free design-related articles
from MJSA Journal.
"Designers
are the creative backbone of the jewelry industry, and we want to ensure they
have the resources needed to thrive in today's market," said David
Cochran, MJSA’s president and chief executive officer. The MJSA appointed
Andrea Hill, the owner of Hill Management Group, as its “designer advocate”
responsible for ensuring the association addresses designers’ needs.
Other
features of the MJSA collaborative effort include a new event called ConFab
Creative, which will be held October 30 at the Fashion Institute of Technology
in New York as part of the MJSA's ConFab conference.
The
services are available to all MJSA members free of charge.
