Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine is calling on all retail jewelers to take the platinum 3-ring challenge and enter their most innovative and superior 3-ring presentations for a chance to win fabulous prizes and invaluable exposure in the winter 2007 issue of the queen of chic's Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine.

The Martha Stewart Weddings Platinum 3-Ring Display Contest represents a win-win situation for all platinum jewelry retailers.  Not only does it provide immediate incentive to update tired and over-exposed displays with exciting, sales-bolstering presentations, it's an opportunity to generate priceless marketing exposure for you and your store among potential customers, fellow retailers and trade professionals.

An esteemed panel of judges, including a Martha Stewart Weddings Editor, a Martha Stewart Weddings Publisher, and a Retail Display Professional, will select winners.

THE SPECIFICS:
Get creative!  Think themes, props, textiles, style, colors and texture that will make your platinum 3-ring retail presentations pop. 
Whether in the case, on the case or in your store window or mall kiosk, select your very best platinum 3-ring store displays and submit photos of them along with your completed entry form. 
There is no fee to enter.
