Want to find out how to grow your jewelry brand to 6 figures and beyond?

Hi! My name is Tracy Matthews

I teach jewelry business owners like you to grow wildly successful jewelry brands. For 10 years, I’ve helped over 9000+ independent jewelry makers and designers go from inconsistent sales and barely making a profit...to consistently reaching their sales goals and building sustainable, profitable jewelry businesses.

IN THIS PROGRAM, I TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF GROWING YOUR JEWELRY BUSINESS TO MEET YOUR SPECIFIC GOALS.

The reason it works is my proven framework that helps identify where you need to focus called – The DESIRED BRAND EFFECT. The result? A business with a marketing and sales system that leaves you feeling more confident, clear, and wealthy because you’re focused on the parts of your business that matter.

Rickson

I've run a 6 figure business for 17 years without investing in my own training aside from my formal BA and MA in jewelry design, so when I tried to scale my business I backslid hard, suffered massive burnout and LTF was a guiding light in my darkest business moment!

- Rickson Sharkey, Rickson Jewelry

Get Lassoed

"I am proud to say that I more than doubled my sales last year, all while balancing becoming a new mom and working only a few days a week. Although most of my sales come from my brick-and-mortar location, I also experienced a 35% increase in online sales.

Joining FTA last year was a game-changer for me. I was struggling with having too much to do and very little time to work. I wasn't sure what to focus on, and everything seemed like a top priority. FTA helped me prioritize and focus on what really mattered, and I am grateful for that."

Paige Barbee of Paige Barbee Jewelry

Blythe MacDonald

"Since joining LTF in February of this year, I have been able to streamline my vision for my business, Monarch and Magpie Designs. The results are in the numbers: by mid-July, I had surpassed my TOTAL sales from the previous year! My average order value has nearly doubled this summer (without raising my prices!) And my IG followers have increased by over 40%"

When your jewelry business is built without a strong brand foundation, you’ll experience slow sales, price resistance, low social media engagement, and little to no traffic on your website. It’s a LOT!

WHAT IS IT?

Laying the Foundation (aka LTF) is our signature 12 Week virtual program that’s designed to help you build desire and demand for your jewelry brand by attracting the right exposure and clients.

WHO’S IT FOR?

LTF is for independent jewelry designers and makers who desire to have a business that generates 5- or 6-figures in revenue per year… regardless of if you work it full-time or part-time.

WHERE DOES IT HAPPEN?

Laying the Foundation is delivered 100% online in a virtual classroom.

WHEN DOES IT START
AND END?

You will have immediate access to the program, so you can get started as soon as you enroll. You have lifetime access and can complete the modules on your own time and at your own pace.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Each Module is delivered to you on a weekly basis. We deliver the course materials via video, audio, worksheets, tools, templates, checklists, cheat sheets, and a private Facebook community. You can implement the action items on your own time and we’ve built in implementation weeks to support you in taking action while you move through the program - because this is what will get you results. How quickly you start getting results depends on how quickly you implement the action items.

WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT IS OFFERED?

When you enroll, you’ll be invited to join our private Diamond Insiders Facebook Community where you can ask questions from our Coaches and join monthly live trainings. It’s a supportive, and tight-knit community, and our DI coaches are actively answering questions and offering support so we encourage you to join and engage.

WHY DOES IT EXIST?

We created Laying the Foundation because there’s a lot of confusion and misinformation out there about how to grow your sales in a profitable and consistent way. Most creative types are (if we’re being honest) totally clueless about where to start. This program exists so that more creatives can make a living doing what they love and putting more beauty out into the world. And so designers like you don’t have to feel trapped running a business that isn’t bringing in the kind of sales they want.

WE WANT YOUR SUCCESS TO BE INEVITABLE.
