Lessons for Business Owners – Managing Expectations and Evaluating Sponsorship Opportunities

As business owners, we are always anxious to get our products in the hands of customers and in front of the public. The tactics used may be different – from free samples at the grocery store to promotional tie-ins with movies and TV shows – but the expectation is always the same. We know our products are the best – and we want as many people as possible to see how great they are.

Unfortunately, there are always people and organizations willing to take advantage of our enthusiasm and excitement and our excitement about our products. That is why business owners need to look at every new opportunity with both excitement and caution.

Sponsorship opportunities are a case in point. Sponsoring an event or providing a valuable prize can be a great way for business owners to promote their endeavors and gain new clients. There are many great organizations out there who work hard at creating real relationships with their sponsors. Those sponsors receive real value for their money – from mentions in program materials to heartfelt thank yous from those running the event.

The bad news is that not every organization works so hard to acknowledge and thank its sponsors. As a business owner, UNICAS recently encountered an ungrateful sponsor and poorly run event. It can cost a great deal of money to provide a sponsorship – in terms of both money and merchandise – and it is not unreasonable to expect a return on that investment.

As business owners, it is our responsibility to choose our partnerships carefully and to follow up on the commitments others make to us. That follow-up can take many forms, from ongoing communication with those in charge of the event to real-time monitoring of the festivities. It could mean insisting on seeing an advance copy of the program booklet and other promotional materials. It could mean talking personally with the organizer of the event.

The bottom line is that these sponsorship opportunities carry risk as well as potential reward. When handled well, such a partnership can help out a worthy cause while increasing business. On the other hand, a partnership with a poorly-run organization or one whose intentions are not so honorable can leave the business owners with nothing to show for their dedication, hard work and monetary investment.

New Partnership with Reborne Jewelry

Here at UNICAS, creating unique and wearable jewelry has always been our passion. We are proud to see our jewelry worn and enjoyed by people from all walks of live, from Hollywood celebrities to busy office workers.

That is why we are so proud of our new partnership with Reborne Jewelry. The folks at Reborne Jewelry share our passion – and our commitment to creating one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that make a statement.

In the case of Reborne Jewelry, that one-of-a-kind style comes from the materials from which the pieces are made. These unique handcrafted pieces of jewelry are created using zippers – certainly not the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks about jewelry.

Reborne Jewelry has created some of the most unique – and most beautiful – jewelry pieces anywhere. The casual observer might never guess that these beautiful necklaces had in fact started their lives as simple zippers – but that is indeed where they came from. The Paris-based artist who created and runs Reborne Jewelry is able to transform those simple zippers into true works of art – they simply must be seen to be believed.

The owner of Reborne Jewelry is a true artist, and that is why we are so proud to join with her and help her bring those winning designs and stunning creations to a wider audience. Since 2009, Reborne Jewelry has been creating exquisite jewelry from unexpected vintage materials. The stunning zipper necklaces in her collection are an example of the dedication to detail, hard work and creativity that Flora, the jewelry artist behind Reborne Jewelry, has used to build the business. We are thrilled to team up with Reborne Jewelry to bring these wonderful, unique and handcrafted pieces of jewelry to our customers. We invite you to take a look at these fine creations, pick out your favorite, and take one home today.

How to Measure Your Neck for a UNICAS Handmade Necklace

One of the chief joys of buying handmade jewelry is that each piece is yours and yours alone. Since no two pieces are alike, no one has a necklace exactly like yours. Every time you put on your handmade UNICAS necklace, you will know that it was created just for you.

You can make that handmade UNICAS necklace even more special by making sure you order the proper length. It can be difficult to know which length will look the best, and that is why it is important to measure your neck before you place your order.

Measuring your neck is easy, and the guys out there may already have a head start. While most women do not know their neck size, many men already know their collar size from buying shirts, suits and formal wear.

If you do not already know your neck size, all you need is a soft measuring tape like the kind tailors use. Simply wrap the tape around the base of your neck, place your finger where the two pieces meet and note the measurement.

If you do not have a soft measuring tape available, simply wrap a ribbon or similar material around the base of your neck and mark the spot where the ends meet. Then lay that ribbon out on a flat surface and measure it with a tape measure or yardstick.

Choosing the Right Length

Once you know your neck size, you can use that measurement as a basis for choosing the right length UNICAS necklace. A good rule of thumb is to choose a length at least two sizes up from your neck measurement. For instance, if your neck measures 18”, a chain length of at least 20” would be recommended.

It is also important to think about how that particular necklace will be worn. If you need a choker to wear for formal occasions, ordering one close to your actual neck measurement makes sense. If you prefer a longer necklace for casual wear, it could make sense to order the longest one available. Many women have necklaces of varying lengths in their wardrobe – this assortment of sizes makes it easier to find the perfect look for any outfit.

No matter what size you order, we are sure you will find a handmade UNICAS necklace that is perfect for you. We have a wide selection of sizes and styles available. Just take a look and we are sure you will fall in love.

Cufflinks for Men – a Great Addition to the UNICAS Collection

The cufflink has been an integral part of the male wardrobe for over a thousand years, and it shows no signs of fading away anytime soon. Members of the royal families of Europe used to commission custom cufflinks for weddings and other special occasions, and these fine pieces were often used as symbols of status, nobility and social standing.

In the modern world, cufflinks are no longer the exclusive privilege of those born into royalty. Men from all walks of life can dress up their favorite outfits with a fine pair of cufflinks. Whether the occasion is formal – like a wedding or dress ball – or more casual – like a meeting with clients or another day at the office – cufflinks can make any business suit or formal wear look even better.

That is why UNICAS is so proud to be adding a fine line of men’s cufflinks to our already great collection of jewelry and accessories.  No matter what you do for a living or what your style of dress, adding a pair of stylish cufflinks to your attire will make you stand out from the crowd and get the attention – and the compliments – of everyone you meet.

At UNICAS, we are proud of what we do, and we are especially proud of the new line of cufflinks we are introducing. If you have been looking for he perfect way to dress up your everyday outfit or make your formal wear look even better, we invite you to look around our site and choose a pair of stylish cufflinks. We are sure you will love these great cufflinks as much as we do.
