Jiljewelry | Application Preview
Jiljewelry is seeking government grants to support its growth and expansion efforts. The funding will be used to establish a dedicated workspace by converting a section of the owner's home, acquire a larger vehicle for transporting equipment to events, and invest in cutting and polishing machinery for creating a wider range of aromatherapy jewelry. The business aims to increase its presence in retail, focusing on major store placements and enhancing online sales through advertising and partnerships with local media and non-profits.
The application highlights the unique position of Jiljewelry as a mother-daughter team from the Middle East, committed to promoting natural healing through their products. With rising health concerns such as diabetes and anxiety in Arkansas, the business targets both local and underserved communities, offering affordable and effective wellness jewelry. The demand for their unique aromatherapy pieces is growing, especially as more people are inclined to shop locally post-COVID-19.
While facing competition from cheaper, mass-produced jewelry, Jiljewelry distinguishes itself through its handmade, one-of-a-kind designs that appeal to a diverse customer base. The use of specialty materials, such as African wood beads and local Arkansas gemstones, adds to the appeal. These products are also designed for practicality, making them accessible to various age groups and individuals with disabilities. Overall, Jiljewelry presents a compelling case for funding to continue fostering healthy choices and support the community through their distinctive jewelry offerings.

Business Plan
I am planning to put my aromatherapy jewelries on major retails shelves within 4 years and work on my online sales as well with advertisement and attending local TV segments and co-operating with a non-profit organization. I would love to have an opportunity to sell on organic supermarket fashion department as well. Investors should invest in Jiljewelry because we are mother and daughter team form Middle East working hard to pursue our dream in United States of America becoming successful business owners and helping building more local businesses revenues. Our unique aromatherapy jewelries and design are perfect example to Arkansans that natural healing and organic life style can be part of people's healthy choices if it gets prompted well. Specially in the state such as Arkansas that has highest grade nationally in Diabetes and Heart attacks. Our customers are overwhelmed with anxiety, pain and insomnia, I even heard a 10 years old complaining of anxiety and stress which is alarming. Our aromatherapy bracelets are on high demand and popular within our customers even the ones that never heard of essential oils after a quick 5 minutes explanation. They become eager purchase to try it out or at least we left a new idea in their mind that there is an alternative way. We offer very affordable prices jewelries with love, care and guarantee to our customers. Our area of operation is every where around the state of Arkansas even smallest town with 350 population such as Rose Bud. This is a unique advantage to us to help and promote aromatherapy and advantages of healthy choices to minorities, low income and under-serve population in Arkansas. We believe you should invest in our small business to grow and expand the aromatherapy and jewelries that help diffuse the essential oils to promote healthy choices over opioid and drug use in young and older adults.

Self Identified Competition
We do have major competitors mostly cheaper jewelry options from Chinese owned and run companies. But, again we have our pool of customers whom love our unique designs and choice of bead and wood combination that make us operates much safer and reliable. After COVID-19 crisis I see more people are agreeing and moving towards shopping local, spend their money supporting local business and arts. What makes Jiljewelry different from our competitors are our handmade, authentic and one of a kind pieces of jewelry we make for diverse population in sex, age, and commerce. We make our jewelry with wood beads from Africa and Middle East and gemstones from Arkansas and Africa. We have jewelries from age 2 - 70+ years old. And what makes us more unique is that our jewelries are practical to wear by handicaps with stretchy and elastic bands. Even for outdoorsy people, our bracelets are oil diffuser as mosquito repellent, at school for ant- anxiety, ADHD and autism Etc..
