We wanted an easy way for our visitors to see which bead businesses listed at GuideToBeadwork.com support the work done on their behalf here at GTB.

The stars are color coded with gold being the highest. The current meaning for each color of star is detailed below. This may change as needed and other colors may be added.

Gold stars identify bead businesses which donate or spend more than $60.00 per year for services from GTB. An underlined asterisk (*) indicates that the business has been a charter gold star industry leader at GuideToBeadwork.com since 2002 when the Yellow pages section at GTB was created for wholesalers.

Silver stars identify bead businesses which donate or spend between $36.00 and $60.00 per year for services from GTB. Most of the bead businesses which participate in our new fee-for-active-text-links program will have a silver star displayed next to their business name.

Bronze stars identify bead businesses which donate or spend between $1.00 and $35.00 per year for services from GTB.

Please let us know what you think of this program. Your feedback is essential to our growth and understanding our visitors better. Thanks in advance.
