Bead Store Owners Testimonials |

| I really love the improvements Julie & Nick are making to the site. They’ve taken what Greg had done and brought it up a notch, w/ color, a more modern look, and new features. It’s obvious that it is owned by someone who really understands beaders and bead stores and is focused on bringing us a quality site that will serve both. Can’t wait to see what’s in store next! Keep up the good work. | Lisa

| Dear Greg, I want to thank you for making A Guide to Beadwork available. You offer a great service, and although I am new to the listing, I want to tell you that I know, first hand, that the listing is working for me. I recently had a lady from out-of-state stop in at my shop – by way of a search she did on her way into town in her RV. Her online search brought up the Guide to Beadwork site, and she found my shop because of it! Thank you! | NicolaRaneMaker Beads at Nic’s Nax (in South Dakota) | |

| Hi Greg – I discovered your site in two ways. First a friend of mine told me about it as a good source for bead shops in various states. Then, I came across it in a google search for my product. I’ve already had 4 hits since posting my store only a few days ago. Thanks for doing this. | LauraAntelope Beads | |

| Hi Greg, I just ‘stumbled’ onto your website and it is FABULOUS!!! Thank you so much for doing this for me.

| I appreciate this website so much! I just opened a week ago, and business has been VERY slow so far. I think every customer I’ve had has found me through this site – my newspaper advertising hasn’t helped at all. Thank you thank you thank you! (I will definitely pay the $36 per year. Just let me know where to send the check.) | LynnetteBead-Bayou.com (in Georgia) |

| Thanks for your letter about the new fee-for-active-links program. We were about to contact you to order some advertising or offer some other financial support for the valuable service your directory provides. Many of our new customers found us with your directory. Keep up the good work and count on us for our support and thanks. | Jerry and Karen GlaserJust Bead It | |

| I am a member of a group of Jewelry designer/bead artist/bead crafters on the Internet. We have approximately 1500 members and grow every day… One of our members sent me to your site and said I should list our store there. I did that yesterday. Our online store is an eBay store and we have a brick and mortar store in Alabama.Since I registered yesterday I have seen an increase in our traffic and have bids on almost every item I have listed. I can totally attribute our increase in traffic to the listing with The Guide to Beadwork Bead Store Directory because I haven’t done anything else different. I had no idea how well being listed with you would work.
I’m very excited about the increase in people coming to our eBay Store and I’ve even had one young lady stop by the studio today after seeing us on your site! And after only one day of being listed!! Fantastic!! All I can say is THANK YOU and keep up the GREAT WORK!! |

I even have customers walk into the store with print outs of your online listings IN THEIR HANDS! As if it is a MAP or something!!! ( Well I supposed it IS a “Bead Store Map” in a sense! ) The site reaches potential customers all over the world, for I even recently had a customer come in from England and another from Australia! Both visited the states within a month and both had found us via your site! Thanks again! | Georgia WilsonThe Bead Shop in Louisiana (2 Locations) |

| I was looking for a bead store that I had been told of near my area. So I looked at the information pages for the city to no avail. Nothing on the city site nor the chamber of commerce. So I tried looking for “bead stores, Ohio” and found your site right away and there it was! I was excited to be able to get our store listed. Thank you for this service. My partner (Lora) and I appreciate being able to get our name out on the web! | Carolyn Carson and Lora Banksthe Beaded Spirit (in Ohio) |

| This is a great site. Your site is one of the reasons I opened my store. There are just not that many stores in my area. In fact, the closest one is approximately 45 miles from my home. I found that store from this site, visited and decided that “I can do that!” And so began the saga of Beadfreakie Designs and Texas Bead Store. Keep up the good work! | Marilyn RoderyTexas Bead Store | |

| Yesterday was only the second Saturday we have been open. TWO different groups of people who were in St. Louis for other reasons said they had looked up the Bead stores on the Internet, and came by our place!! | Donna NeumannBead On A Wire, Inc. (in Missouri) |

| THANK YOU for having this resource available for us. We truly appreciate it. I found your informative site in the early stages of my bead store research. I think I did a Google search, keyword “Bead Store”. It was “KEY” to alot of the decisions that we made about our store early on…truly. Please let us know we can do to thank you for your time and effort! (so I wrote and asked what decisions were helped. –greg) As we researched bead stores, one of the most important decisions we made was locational. We used the information on your site to define and refine our store loction criteria as well as “industry standard” hours and days of operation. | Randy and Denise FosterBead-Studio.com | |

| Thanks so much…we get alot of traffic from this listing and we really appreciate it! Your site is a wonderful resource for beaders and suppliers alike. | Renee Gomezbeadmerchant.com (in Oregon) | |

| Let me compliment you on the completeness and usefulness of your site. It is certainly one of the most (if not THE most) comprehensive bead information sites we’ve ever seen. We will place a link to your site on ours. | Carl Kupersmit2bead.com (in Florida) |

| I want to tell you how clear and concise your web site is, and what a joy to read about all the bead businesses out there. Thank you for the opportunity to put my name in your web site. | Gary FineParamount Beads (in California) | |

| You have a great [screen] background. It’s very memorable. I paged through hundreds of links yesterday. Today, I pulled up your page one more time, I remembered the background, and hence the web-site. Most sites seem to use a white background, and a graphical layout like so many others. These sites all blend together. | Warren S. Feldlandofodds.com (in Tennessee) | |
