How long does it take to hear back after I apply? We process applications on Monday and Tuesday. In most cases you will hear back from us by Monday evening. What if I sell on a website, but I'm not the only jewelry designer there? The logo is for YOU, not for a website... so just make sure the logo either accompanies only YOUR listings or is on your personal bio page, etc. What if I sell jewelry, but also sell other things? Not a problem. Use the SRAJD logo for your jewelry items and don't use the SRAJD logo on your non-jewelry items. Remember, the logo is there to identify a piece of jewelry as one made by the person who's selling it. If you still have a question, email us. I don't see any quality standards for this organization. Right... SRAJD is an organization for sellers to be recognized as self-representing. We don't "jury" the applicants. What do I get out of being a member? If you want to know what "what's in it" for you this organization may not be the right place for you. We don't provide anything other than a community. We are here to think of ways to raise awareness of self-representing artist jewelry designers. We are here to stick together and lift another, not to be self-righteous of one another or fear the competition, etc. Because I believe in "strength in numbers", "two heads are better than one", and "no man is an island"… I feel that if we bond together into this organization, our collective knowledge and talent can work together toward the common goal of educating people to the benefits of considering jewelry bought directly from the artist. Why do you ask for and list our real names, rather than the names of our businesses or stores? Because you are the artist before you are the business... and the logo is assigned to YOU, not your business. The logo doesn't represent a store or a business; it represents an artist. Why can I only list one website on the roster if I'm an upgraded member? It seems like the fairest solution since so many people have more than one website these days and we need to be able to present information for a large number of members. It also keeps the look of our pages simple and easy to navigate. What if my information changes someday? No problem. Just email us the information and we'll update the roster. What URL should I used to direct people to the SRAJD site in case they want to join or have a question about what it's all about? http://www.SRAJD.com Does SRAJD had one basic logo (not a membership logo) that we can use on websites? Copy and paste this HTML code to place the logo on your website with a hyperlink (makes it clickable) back to the SRAJD main page. <a href=http://www.artisimportant.com/SRAJD/index.html><p align=center><img src=http://www.artisimportant.com/SRAJD/indexpic1.jpg> We're here to help. If you need further assistance, please email us. We will do our best to solve the problem.

Can I start a group or fanpage to promote SRAJD? Absolutely! We only ask one thing. You have to make it crystal clear that you are a "member" of the SRAJD organization and not a representative of the SRAJD organization. We have had to shut down several groups already that were started and running as though it was something created by us or being run by us, the SRAJD organization. If you need help coming up with a title for your forum/page let us know; we're here to help. Some ideas that are perfectly fine include: "Fans of SRAJD", "Members of SRAJD", etc. Please do not use any titles that would imply the group was crated by us (such as: "SRAJD", or "Self-Representing Artists in Jewelry Design", etc).
