By Attracting The Right Clients, Exposure And Engagement For Your Brand
Discover The Simple System These Successful Designers Used To Build A Desirable, Thriving Jewelry Business… In Just 8 Weeks!
THE JEWELRY BUSINESS IS BOOMING ( ... OR SO YOU’VE BEEN TOLD)
Meanwhile you’re sick of putting all your effort into building a website that gets basically zero visitors and no sales.
People say they LOVE your jewelry all the time, but you have no idea how to turn those compliments into sales outside of the “friends and family zone.”
You struggle to differentiate yourself or find your unique “voice” and a target market, so getting consistent sales and exposure is a tough..
You feel exhausted or overwhelmed all of the time, because you’re pulled in so many directions and don’t know where to start.
You feel stuck! You’re just starting out and can’t decide how or what to do to get your biz off the ground.
The idea of earning five-figures (or more) a month feels like a pipe dream
You probably left your job (or you have one foot out the door) because you wanted to get away from all of the 9-5 madness and be on your own schedule.
You CAN make a comfortable living as a jewelry designer — but you can’t do it alone.
Here’s what the top independent jewelry brands are doing differently than you — every successful person you admire, without exception, got to the top because they received help.
Now that I have your attention, let’s start to shift the way you see running business.
Of course, in our industry, the hardest part is finding the right people who are willing to share the right information in the first place.
Carefully guarding their valuable secrets to success: material distributors, outsource methods and marketing strategies, jewelry designers can be a competitive and therefore tight-lipped bunch..
We get it. Robin and I (Tracy) have both worked in this industry for over 20 years each and finding someone willing to share these types of insights is rare.
In fact, you may be wondering…

We’ll quickly and practically show you the fundamentals of building an engaging jewelry brand that gives you the freedom and independence you crave as a designer.
Discover How to Get Your Jewelry Worn and Shared by Your Target Market.
We’ll give you the best kept secret in the jewelry industry up front…
Jewelry sells best when it’s desired.
People don’t buy jewelry out of necessity. They buy jewelry because they WANT it. They buy jewelry because it makes them feel beautiful, fashionable, unique, and gives them a story.
Selling jewelry isn’t about convincing prospects to buy; it’s about creating a burning desire to share your brand. It’s about sharing your jewelry with the world and allowing your story’s magnetic force to attract a crowd of raving advocates who become lifetime customers.
Once you’ve learned to promote desirability, everything else will fall into place.
Of course, that’s easier said than done which is why we created Laying the Foundation for you.
As your Chief Visionary Officer and Co-Founders, Laying The Foundation isn’t something Robin and I just recommend and lead. It’s something I’ve used to scale my own design business and Robin has taught these exact sales strategies to independent jewelry brands.
As an emerging designer, I had a stable corporate job. But I knew I was meant for something more and I wanted out of retail hell, working long hours every single weekend and holidays.
So I started making jewelry as a creative outlet and was LOVING it! Friends and family wanted pieces so I knew I was on to something.
It got to the point where my husband at the time and I agreed. I would leave my job to pursue my design business full time. Suddenly I had all the freedom I needed to create what I loved.
As you might already know, stepping into a new venture with no structured plan to scale the business can get messy fast. I was more than obsessed with making the Tracy Matthews Designs, Inc. collection perfect, because that was way easier than going out and getting sales.
When I walked into stores with my jewelry, I felt like a fraud and didn’t think they would take me seriously.
Well meaning friends and family would give me advice but it was never the right advice for my business model. And so none of it was really relatable.
It got to the point that my husband stepped in and gave me an ultimatum to make sales or go back to a regular job.
So I put together a proper business plan and started selling at trade shows. There was no way I was going back to retail hell.
That's when business skyrocketed! Over the course of 11 years, I was in 350 stores and we scaled up to nearly $4 million in total revenue.
During that time, I met Robin at a trade show. She was the Director of Sales for Dogeared Jewels & Gifts. Robin helped Dogeared grow from a small company into a well-known jewelry brand. Sales grew over 800% in just a few short years.
The line went from being sold in specialty boutiques to include major department stores and chains like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus Direct, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Von Maur and South Moon Under. Robin and I became fast friends and I was all ears when she gave advice about how to grow my own brand.
Like many designers at some point in their career, I made the move to New York City and by then I even brought four team members with me. I paid for them to move, and we started showing internationally in Paris and London. My jewelry collection was sold in 350 stores. I even got an order from QVC. That’s when I started losing money because all of the new opportunities I was exploring were with the WRONG audience.
So while my jewelry was in Twist, Sundance Catalog, Fred Siegel, Anthropologie, and Bloomingdales and celebrities like Halle Berry, Orlando Bloom, and Jessica Alba were wearing my pieces, I was barely covering payroll. Working hard to please the wrong customers sent my business on a downward spiral for 6 months.
After telling myself time again and again I couldn’t afford it, I finally invested in a consultant to show me all the holes and gaps.
With the help of my consultants and some serious soul-searching, I decided to switch directions and move into a different business model. Most of what I learned in the first 11 years of my design business was trial and error and being a constant student of how to market my jewelry.
Eventually, I made the decision to close TMD, Inc. and file for bankruptcy.
And then I started over, this time I started my business the right way knowing my audience, and having someone else show me what was missing. It was a huge shift! I felt like the skies opened up and angels looking down on me were giving me the thumbs up... cue operatic music.
Within 18 months, I had the most profitable month in the history of my jewelry design career— to the tune of 30k in profits.
AND the profits keep climbing!
When I first started out I always said to myself, “I wish there was someone who would teach me everything I needed to know about about starting and running a jewelry design business so I could spend more time being creative and focusing on the things I love.”
When I look back at the last two decades of my career. I’m so grateful I got help when I did. It changed my life!
I was no longer walking around in the dark without a flashlight trying to find my why. I now had the clarity and vision to see exactly what needed to happen to create a business that was profitable and supported me.
At the end of the day, I really didn't want anyone to have to go through what I went through. I built a business to nearly 4 million dollars in sales, and then in one year, the whole thing spiraled out.
Laying the Foundation Was Born…
That’s when I reached out to to Robin to grab coffee with me in NYC, I proposed the idea of an online “school” to teach aspiring designers everything they needed to know about building the jewelry business of their dreams. But most importantly to make it fun in the process.
So independent jewelry designers could skip past all the mistakes and quickly grow into a profitable jewelry business that fits their creative vision.
Robin was instantly interested and we both knew we wanted to create something that was way more affordable than the $1500 a month I paid a private consultant for two years.
We created Laying the Foundation for designers like you who don’t want to feel trapped by having to run the business while not getting the sales results you deserve.
Instead, we will show you how to come from a place of service and make sales naturally using what we call the Sharing Economy method.
Your clients will become your raving fans telling your story and practically selling your jewelry for you.
So that you have more time to spend with the people that matter most to you, knowing you have the right mentors by your side, and getting back to your zone of genius of designing and being creative.
BY TAKING LAYING THE FOUNDATION, YOU’LL MASTER HOW TO…
Transform your talent and passion for design into a desirable brand & successful business
Confidently price your jewelry and collection so you can pay yourself an actual salary AND cover all your costs
Attract the right buyers to your brand and keep them coming back for more
Talk about your jewelry business without feeling pushy, salsey, or completely blanking on what to say
Get the attention of even high profile media outlets to spotlight your jewelry and turn PR into sales for your biz
Create a steady, consistent flow of sales to turn that “expensive hobby” into a profitable business without working 12 hours a day
Build a business that serves your lifestyle (not the other way around)
IT’S TIME TO STOP GUESSING ABOUT WHAT TO DO NEXT AND GET YOUR OWN AMAZING RESULTS LIKE THESE DESIGNERS.
I now run a successful jewelry business that consistently makes more than 5 figures monthly.
I started FT&A with a full-time job and a jewelry-making hobby. Fast forward 9 months– after implementing the very helpful and actionable tools Tracy and Robin provided, I was making enough profit to quit my full-time job and move my production from my dining room table to my a professional design/office space. Before Laying the Foundation, I had exactly 32 paying customers. Since taking LTF, I'm over 8,000 paying customers and 34.6K followers on Instagram. I now run a successful jewelry business that consistently makes more than 5 figures monthly and best of all, I get to work doing what I love. I pinch myself every day. —MELISSA CAMILLERI, SHOPCOMPLIMENT.COM
Before taking the course I hated sales, now I feel excited to approach wholesalers and they’re saying yes after one visit!
Before taking the course, I had on my vision board "find the perfect sales person," because I hated sales so much and felt this was holding me back more than anything. Robin and Tracy gave me tools, advice, and most importantly the correct context for approaching sales in a way that feels really good and is extremely effective. Since the course, I reached out to three local stores for wholesale opportunities and two of them said yes to my line after one visit to their stores. I now feel excited, rather than dreadful, about introducing my line to potential wholesalers, and realized that *I* am that perfect sales person I was trying to manifest on my vision board. —ALLISON GEMMEL LAFRAMBOISE, PRASADAJEWELRY.COM
Instead of spending my weekends at markets, I focused on my website and the sales ROCKED this year!
Purchasing a home and a bout with breast cancer forced me to cancel a majority of my shows last year. I am happy to say that even in light of my life changes and challenges, I ended my year within $1000 gross sales of the previous year while taking back all of my weekends. Plus, instead of spending my weekends at markets, I focused on my website and it ROCKED this year! Instead of 3 web sales a month in the $60-$100 range, I averaged 3 web sales a day in the $300-600 range during the holidays! I would have never been able to figure out all of this information so quickly on my own. —ANA MARIA ANDRICAIN, JEWELOFHAVANA.COM

WHAT OUR SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS ARE SAYING…
Our buyer was so impressed that they nearly tripled their PO!
F&TA gave me the tools to refine my jewelry collection to be more in line with my dream client, and the courage to approach a multi-store wholesale account at the very top of my dream client list! The buyer loved our line so much that to launch, they hosted three successful in-store events. The buyer was so impressed with our high sell through rate that they approved a PO nearly triple the original proposal. Our inventory sold out in less than a month and they immediately placed a reorder. Thank you Robin & Tracy – what you do everyday for our industry and for us as designers and business owners is truly outstanding! —JULES VANCE, WWW.JULESVANCEJEWELRY.COM
Working with Tracy and Robin has been a profound experience.
Working with Tracy and Robin has been a profound experience. I had a vision of growth but really did not understand what that looked like, as this was my first jewelry business. Through being a part of Flourish & Thrive, I was able to understand the landscape of what a thriving and successful jewelry business is. At the end of Laying the Foundation, I had successfully designed my first Summer collection and laid out an action-oriented plan to execute my first Ecommerce website which launched this past May. —JEANNE VERGER, JEANNEVERGERJEWELRY.COM
Tracy & Robin have saved me years in creating a successful jewelry business and the continued lifetime support is invaluable!
Tracy & Robin, you exude an infectious, uplifting aura that is encouraging and motivating. When I am not enough, I can turn to the Flourish & Thrive community to help me push through whatever is causing me to stumble. Whether through the private Facebook community, or reviewing a lesson I have already completed, I can find clarity in areas that are not my strengths and left to myself would leave my head spinning. Could I accomplish creating a successful jewelry design business on my own? Eventually, I might... but it would take many, many years and I think my sanity would be fleeting. I truly appreciate the invaluable, continued lifetime support Flourish & Thrive Academy offers. —JENNIFER LAWLOR, RIVERGLASSCREATIONS.COM
WARNING: This Program is NOT for Everyone
We only work with ambitious, aspiring designers who are serious about taking their businesses to the next level.
This Program is NOT right for someone who:
Already making consistent sales every month whether or not you’re doing shows
Only interested in designing jewelry as a hobby
Confident you’ve mastered the art of sales and marketing (and get consistent results)
Consistently getting the RIGHT kind of media exposure to increase sales
Pricing your fully developed collection without any doubts you’re missing something
Not open to learning new ways to manage your time & improve your business (and lifestyle)
Uninterested in exploding your profits and breaking past your earning plateau
Afraid of learning how to put yourself “out there” and going after your DREAM
This Program is ABSOLUTELY for you if:
Want a step by step plan for reaching new customers and making sales directly between shows
Are tired of people saying your jewelry is a hobby, not a real business
Know your biggest challenge is marketing and you have no idea how to begin
Are ready to do what it takes to stand out and finally get your brand noticed
Struggle with pricing and merchandising your collections so they are in demand
Need help managing your time and staying focused to keep the doors of your jewelry business open
Have some sales, but they’re not consistent or steady enough to earn a living
Don’t want to feel pushy when you’re selling your jewelry, but you need more sales!
Like we said earlier – jewelry designers who structure their business the right way from the beginning feel more confident than those “just winging it.”
Why? Because they know exactly where they’re heading.
So, we have to ask — Where are YOU heading?
… the likelihood is you’re heading nowhere. Numerous studies have proven that those who fail to take immediate action are unlikely to EVER take action at all.
Translation: They’re left behind.
It’s funny because I know that only a small percentage of the people who have landed on this page will choose to take the next step. The majority of you will wonder if this is the right next step for you.
If you’re telling yourself things like…
I don’t have the time. I’m already stretched too thin, maybe later. Investing in myself is just too expensive right now.
We understand money can be tight when starting out — that’s exactly why we jam-packed this program with as much value as humanly possible for a fair + low price.
If you’re spending hours of your life on Google trying to find a tutorial that makes sense for you... then we want to show you how to get back to what you love — making jewelry!
You might decide we aren’t the right fit for you, and that’s totally fine. Regardless of whether or not you decide to work with us, we recommend setting aside some of your business earnings to invest in your education as a business owner. Take it from us, and learn from our mistakes:
That old saying about you being your best investment is the truth.
OR you might realize this is EXACTLY what you’ve been looking for.
Just give yourself a minute to imagine what life would be like if you had a plan and always knew what the next step was towards your vision of success You could confidently create a plan of action to grow your business. You’d stop feeling scared about sales and marketing and start feeling confident charging what you’re worth.
Imagine...
Sitting at dinner hoping your friends and family ask how business is going, because for once you’re excited and confident about the answer
Enjoying long overdue vacation, without an ounce of guilt, because your business is practically running itself
Paying yourself a salary for all your hard work and actually building up your savings account (instead of your savings account funding your business)
It feels great, right?
Oh, and one more thing…
We offer LIFETIME access so you can keep improving your business as you learn and grow.
Don’t wait until 2018… invest in yourself NOW to create and live the life of which you’ve always dreamed.
I went from wide-eyed and clueless to quitting my full-time job to work on my business!
Before LTF, I was a girl with a hobby that I really loved. I went from wide-eyed and clueless to quitting my full-time job to work on my business! My biggest milestones have been: selling from my own website, opening wholesale accounts, creating relationships with industry manufacturers, building a focused social media following, and connecting with celebrities (who are wearing my jewelry)! The course is the reason I have a business today. —IRINA ZHAN, IVJEWELRY.COM
I’m so glad I didn’t wait to join this incredible community!
I was not sure I was even ready to take this course as my business is in the infancy stage. However, after today’s amazing collection review with Robin & Tracy, I’m so glad I didn’t wait to join. It’s helping me to edit my work and focus on one direction at a time. I love being able to rise and learn together in this incredible community. —TOBY MYLES, RIDELIKEAGIRLDESIGNS.COM
F&TA has breathed life into an industry I’ve been in for over 15 years!
The results from taking LTF have been amazing. My sales increased by 50% in 2014 from 2013 and my mindset changed so much that I was able to move into a new studio space and hire help. I feel confident in designing my first ‘real’ collections and excited to approach wholesale prospects now that I am armed with the right pricing and tools. I feel (and act like) a new person – F&TA has breathed life into an industry I’ve been in for over 15 years! It feels new and exciting again – Thank You both SO much!. —SIENNA KITTELMAN, ZOEANDPIPER.COM

Not at all! Laying the Foundation is beneficial for any designer who wants to build a better brand and make more sales. Whether you’ve only you sold a few pieces of jewelry, been in the jewelry biz for many years, or anything in between, we promise you our material will improve the way you design, market and sell your jewelry.
Yeah sure, you can probably Google all of this and sort of find what you’re looking for. But how will you know for if you haven’t built your design business successfully already. It’s going to take you years of trial and error – and even with hard-work and dedication, there is no guarantee that you will ever stumble upon a winning formula.
Tracy & Robin have collected everything you’ll need to know about building a successful, independent jewelry brand in this single course. Plus, they have over 40 years of combined industry experience and personal discoveries to share with you.
With Laying the Foundation you can leverage our experience and expertise to completely bypass the learning curve.
Between the two of us (Tracy & Robin), we have over 40 years of jewelry industry experience. We’ve already been through all the roadblocks a struggling jewelry designer will face and we know exactly how to get you through them.
Also, as you may have noticed on this page, we have already helped nearly a thousand designers build the jewelry business of their dreams through our curriculum and coaching.
We have the insider knowledge and industry expert connections and we want to share them with you.
First of all, our course is a proven, step-by-step process for getting your jewelry in the hands of your DREAM clients, and creating a solid business out of your passion. So we really doubt you won’t love it.
BUT… we guarantee your satisfaction. So if you aren’t impressed by the curriculum for any reason, we offer a no-risk, money-back guarantee.
Try it out for two weeks! If you do the work, show us your results and you are still not satisfied, we’ll refund your money.
The truth is, you might never feel completely ready to invest both time and money in yourself. But once you take the leap and say, “Yes!” to evolving as a designer and an entrepreneur, you will wish you had done it sooner.
Plus, we understand how busy life can get. That’s why we offer lifetime access to the course. You can take it as slowly as you need.
No. We only run this course LIVE once per year and this is the last time we are offering the program with the LIVE component. So if you don’t register before January 23rd, 2018, you will have to wait an entire year for another opportunity.
Yes! Every coaching call and interview we conduct will be posted on the member site. That way, if there is a call you can’t listen to live, you will always be able to listen at your convenience.
