JIC Launches ‘Ultimate Proposal Contest’

The Jewelry Information Center (JIC) is seeking retailers for its upcoming Ultimate Proposal Contest, the JIC announced Tuesday. The contest is a nationwide search for the best engagement proposal story with a variety of prizes for consumers, retailers and sales associates.

Set to run from February 15 through April 30, retailers will be asked to refer consumers to the JIC website, www.JIC.org., to share their engagement stories. After the 10 best stories will be selected as finalists on April 15, 2010, anyone will be able to vote online to choose the winner.

The advantage for participating retailers will be national consumer and media exposure, through listings on www.JIC.org and other national consumer websites.

The grand prize winner will win platinum jewelry and a trip for two to Santorini, Greece. The retail store that refers the winning story will also receive a prize package that includes a beverage center courtesy of GE Money, valued at $1,000.
