Marketing and selling your very own handmade jewelry can be a very tough task, especially if you have no background in sales and advertising. However, if you are equipped with some relevant tips in jewelry business, then you can probably have a good start in your new endeavor:

a. Before you start marketing your products, do your research. Determine if your handmade jewelries are really up for commercial release. Visit a variety of jewelry boutiques or your prospect jewelry store. Look around as a customer and examine the types of designs and fashion styles that their jewelry exudes.

Aside from the style, take note of the pricing as well. If your handmade products are generally in line with their products in terms of style and price, then you can probably start handing out your business cards.

b. Before you go to the nearest jewelry store to sell your handmade jewelry, check your jewelry presentation. Keep in mind that presentation is an important part of marketing and advertising. A gorgeous product can look cheap and dull if it is not presented properly.

For elegant presentations, use glass or acrylic displays in presenting your handmade jewelries. You can use earring holders and card racks, necklace boards or busts, bracelet ramps and humps, bangle displays, and T-bar displays. You can find these jewelry display equipment in craft shops.

c. When picking out jewelry samples for your prospect jewelry store, you have to choose representative samples. Make sure that your sample set offer representative pieces from each and every style and type of jewelry that you make. Keep in mind that too many representative samples from the same type will only lead to confusion and indecision that can jeopardize sale possibilities. Choose only the finest from your masterpieces.

d. Just before heading for the jewelry store, prepare everything that you need. These include your brochures which contain a pricelist for the jewelry and your payment terms and options. Note that you can sell your jewelry on a direct sale basis or on consignment.

Make certain that everything is prepared and presented in a highly organized and professional manner. Other than that, prepare yourself as well. Wear the most appropriate business attire that you have. Also, do not forget to wear some of your jewelry. GP
