INDESIGN Wins Editorial Award in Inaugural Year
Magazine for top-end jewelry retailers earns Bronze in FOLIO: Magazine's 2008 Eddie Competition


(January 27, 2009)

(New York, NY) In only its first year of regular distribution, INDESIGN Magazine won the Bronze award for best single issue in the "B-to-B: Retail" category of FOLIO: Magazine's prestigious Eddie Award competition. The Eddie was awarded in acknowledgement of INDESIGN's June 2008 issue.

The Eddie and Ozzie Awards recognize excellence in magazine editorial and design, and this year's competition drew more than 2,800 entries in all. More than 100 expert judges spent weeks evaluating the entries and selecting the winners, according to the FOLIO: website.

"We were thrilled to be recognized at this level, especially in just our first year of publication," said Trace Shelton, editor-in-chief of INDESIGN. "When the magazine authority on magazines recognizes you, you know you're doing something right."

INDESIGN June2008 The first and only business magazine produced exclusively for retailers of fine jewelry design, INDESIGN is shipping on a bimonthly basis in 2009 after shipping monthly in 2008. The June 2008 issue featured a lead story on creating successful holiday events, an essay by best-selling author Laura Ries about what she would do if she owned a jewelry store, a photo essay on the use of color in jewelry showrooms, and much more material written exclusively for high-end jewelry store owners.

INDESIGN, launched in June 2007, is distributed to more than 5,000 fine jewelry stores across North America.
