JBT Releases Full Red Book as a Mobile App

August 2013


The Jewelers Board of Trade (JBT), announces that it has added the full Red Book to its Mobile App options which previously were limited to geographic sectional editions only. The Mobile App, available on both Android and Apple platforms, allows sales teams and business owners access to the Red Book “on the go”, making critical business intelligence information available in real time from anywhere.

The Red Book Mobile App’s search engines allows users to call up company names, addresses and credit ratings for specific geographic territories. The information is searchable by Name, Zip Code, City and Proximity, and Business Type. JBT members using the Mobile App can instantly view a company’s location on a map, phone the company with an instant “Dial Now” feature, add customized notes for each company and create a list of ’favorites’.

According to Dione Kenyon, JBT President, “Our members need easy, instant access, especially when travelling, to identify and reach potential customers. Current users tell us it has greatly enhanced their effectiveness in the field. We are pleased to now meet the needs of more of our members by making the full Red Book available as part of JBT’s continued efforts to better deliver its products and services to the jewelry industry.“”The JBT Mobile App is in my opinion the greatest product JBT has ever released. When I am on the road, I no longer have to carry the hard copy Red Book. The maps feature allows me to know who else is nearby and I can easily target multiple companies in a geographic area, so I’m more efficient with my time. This App is well worth the money." Frank Cangelosi, Gabriel Bros.

The Red Book Mobile Apps (full and sectional) can be customized by territory, including the 50 U.S. States, Canada, Washington, D.C., New York City, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. Sectional and Full Red Books also remain available in printed form.

JBT Red Books contain over 30,000 jewelry retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers in the U.S. Canada, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
