Signature Retailers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How are companies selected as Couture Signature Retailers?
There are two parts to the selection process: first, the Couture exhibitor community selects companies that have shown the desire and ability to sell fine designer jewelry.  This group is compared to Couture proprietary data that identifies sales volume and important demographic information.  Together, these two programs help us build the Signature program and deliver the best retailers to the Couture floor.  Ultimately, approximately 250 retailers are identified through this process.

What are the amenities that I will receive in 2010 as a Couture Signature Retailer?
