About the Necklace Necessities Team

Inspired by the concept that a woman can create products women want and need better than men, Janis Helfman set out to design a jewelry accessory product that is not only a practical fashion staple for women, but exceptionally feminine in its presentation. Since May of 2006, she has worked to create the elements of the Necklace Necessities ensemble, spending extra time and effort to develop a product that would appeal to women for its functionality as well as its charm.

Janis is president and chief executive officer for Buttercup Creative and its product line, Necklace Necessities, unique products that solve common fashion dilemmas of women. Janis holds a bachelor's degree in business administration and marketing from Southern Utah University and brings over 20 years of experience in marketing and advertising for numerous size companies and agencies and as an entrepreneur. Throughout her career, she has had extensive involvement with all aspects of marketing and promotional campaigns, as well as strategic business development and management.

It is the goal of Buttercup Creative to offer the Necklace Necessities ensembles and ancillary products as the foremost choice of ladies interested in a unique, fun and feminine problem-solving product for their own use and as a gift item.

Janis is joined by Cheryl Livingston, a professional in the custom packaging industry, as a distributor of the Necklace Necessities product line. A business owner and entreprenuer as well, Cheryl has over 20 years experience in business management and sales in Southern California. Cheryl is focused on sales of the Necklace Necessities products to retailers in Orange and Los Angeles counties.

Buttercup Creative is grateful for the opportunity to contract the assembly of the Necklace Necessities product line to Goodwill of Orange County. The efficient and loyal contract labor workers are a joy to work with and the administration of their services is handled in a professional manner, resulting in a win-win for both organizations.

The headquarters of Buttercup Creative is located in Fullerton, California, with a showroom and distribution warehouse office in Anaheim, California.
