Post a CJCI Banner or Button on Your Site – and Win!

Remember the television ad touting “an educated consumer is our best customer?” It’s cliché now for sure, but after all these years the statement is still so true when it comes to consumers recognizing craftsmanship and style.

So how can you help your customers and friends get the education they need to be better jewelry consumers? Introduce them to CJCI Magazine! To help you, we’ve recently posted a banner page with a number of options and easy-to-copy code to add to your site: www.costumejewelrycollectors.com/banner.htm.

When you post one of our banners or buttons on your site, email jay@costumejewelrycollectors.com a link to the page and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a free business card ad (a $45 value) in CJCI Magazine. The deadline to enter is July 25, so get those banners up soon!
