(Newswire.net — July 11, 2014) Canon City, CO — Eight months ago, the competition challenged people to launch a brand new business and start selling. The store that sold the most in each category during a two-month period would take home the prize.
More than 21,000 participants entered the 10-category contest, with a total of $120 million in revenue. Bolder Band Headband won the Fashion & Apparel category. Each of the winners will receive a $50,000 and a VIP trip to New York City to meet with an industry expert, who will become their mentor. Bolder Band Headband founders, JD and Amy Crouse, will meet next month with Fashion and Apparel Mentor Daymond John, founder of FUBU and an investor on ABC’s Shark Tank.
“JD and I are so honored and humbled to win this award,” Crouse said. “When we started our business last fall, winning the contest was our goal but for that goal to come to fruition is so exciting. We are excited to see what the future holds for Bolder Bands. ”Amy Crouse created BOLDER Band in her home because she couldn’t find a high-quality product that would keep her hair and sweat out of her eyes while working out. This mother of three then started making the bands for her friends until the demand was too just much. At the end of 2013, BOLDER Band and www.bbolder.com was born and hasn’t stopped growing ever since.
BOLDER Band features an innovative, lightweight, moisture-wicking-tech fabric that channels perspiration down the sides, preventing buildup in the band. No more stinging in your eyes or interruptions as you pause to brush the hair off your face or wipe down your glasses during your workout. This versatile, non-slip, stretch-fit design is comfortable in both warm and cold weather.
BOLDER Band is available in many colors, prints and patterns. They are versatile enough for the gym or stylish enough for this season’s trends. The headbands come in sizes to fit most adults and are also available in a youth size. Amy is more than just a talented accessory designer; her true passion lies in coming along side women to help them to be BOLDER and realize and achieve their dreams.
