Bling By Bev
Posted: Wednesday, June 15th 2011
Bling by Bev is a new business to the downtown area that opened up in February 2011. This charming shop is owned by Bev Anderson who was born in Central Alberta and just moved back to Red Deer from Calgary. She is an entrepreneur who enjoys designing jewelry with Swarovski Crystal, and also carries a unique variety of Ladies Fashion Accessories and a large variety of Swarovski Charm Beads.
Bev opened her store downtown because there is lots of foot traffic and activity going on. Most of the traffic that makes their way into her store are women. "They come in to browse and we usually get carried away chatting. We also have a lot of fun designing jewelry and picking out accessories” says Bev. When asked what her most memorable customer experience is, she said all of them.
In addition to her store, Bev takes her custom bracelets, necklaces, and earrings to the Bentley farmer’s market. You can also find her at the World of Women show, and other trade shows and Christmas craft sales all over Central Alberta.
Bev believes that the key to her success is the customizable aspect of her business. “People will come in and tell me that they can’t find a bracelet because it is either too big or too small, or they may need a certain color, but I can fix that” says Bev. Bev also believes that shopping local is the key to a vibrant downtown and is committed to Red Deer’s downtown. She is very passionate about what she does and that adds to the charm and authenticity of her business.
Bev is also offering a 10% discount for any downtown business.
