Be Featured in the 2011 Bead Factory Calendar

That’s right - your latest bracelet could be “Miss March”! We are very excited to announce the return of the Bead Factory Calendar Competition for 2011. Each month will feature four pictures of our customers’ work – that’s you!! We will be selecting 54 total pieces, 4 for each month and six on the cover. Each winner will receive an acknowledged place in the calendar, and of course a free calendar!

We will begin accepting applications and samples starting July 15th through August 30th. Winners will be announced at a live evening event at The Bead Factory on Friday, September 10th, where all entries will be displayed for that evening. All pieces not chosen will then be returned to the owners by Sept 20th.

The Bead Factory wins The 2007 Better Business Bureau's Business of the Year Award in Customer Service!

We were so proud and honored to be the only Tacoma business as a finalist for the BBB Business of the Year awards, but to win in the customer service category is so exciting for us! I want to thank the Better Business Bureau for this great acknowledgement and also my outstanding staff that deliver the highest caliber service everyday. Also thank you to our incredible, wonderful Bead Factory customers, who make it possible for us to live our passion. Without all of you there is no Bead Factory, I hope you feel that kind of appreciation every time you do business with us, whether in person, on the phone, or on line: your satisfaction is our greatest priority and privilege.
