Silverspoon Films makes the Big Bead Shop a Big Star!

September 18th, 2008

The Big Bead Shop gets star treatment  from Machynlleth based film company, Silverspoon Films.

We’re thrilled with the results of the hard work everyone put in on Wednesday this week, especially by the film company and it’s director, Richard Gott.  We’ve got a great video which, in 60 seconds, shows you pretty much what we’re all about here at The Big Bead Shop.

Take a look for yourself… 


Join us this Wednesday, become a mini bead star and get 15% Off!

This Wednesday the 17th September, we’re doing something a little special at The Big Bead Shop - Shrewsbury and we’d like you to take part.

The best bit about it is that not only will it not cost a penny, but you could make big savings with our one day only discount offer.

So, what are we up to?

Well we’ve teamed up with SilverSpoonFilms to create their very first ‘SIXTIES’. Essentially a 60 second, packed video representation of what The Big Bead Shop is all about, and we need your help. We need as many people as possible in the shop on Wednesday morning between 10am and 1pm to feature in the filming.

Now don’t worry, there’s no sound involved and none of the shots will be very long. There will be free demonstrations going on which we want you to get involved in, and if you have any old jewellery you want to bring and get recycled into something new, then that would be fantastic!

For taking part in this exciting venture, we will give you a whopping 15% Discount off anything you purchase on the day as our thank you for joining in.

If you are thinking of coming, then drop us a line and we’ll see you tomorrow.

Where will the video be shown?

Well, the video will get shown on our BigBeadShop.com website to illustrate to other potential customers all the things they can expect from our lovely new shop.
