Successful Selling Ideas


Although the internet has practically taken over how people do everything these days, I have noticed over time that my handmade jewelry pieces sell in comparably better in person than they do online. 
It’s important and smart to have your collection available on the web so that anyone can access it at all times, but you should make sure you’re not just providing one outlet for sales. If you’re just starting out or don’t want to sell where a tax I.D. number is required like myself, there are other alternatives available.
A great way to get recognized and make your items available in person is to show at jewelry parties. Doing that allows you to be the focus of the event and lets the guests know what is being offered beforehand so they are prepared to shop for and purchase your specific items.

Start off with hosting your own event to get the business started, and then encourage friends and family to have a showing party as well.
Approaching retail stores that carry merchandise reflecting similar characteristics, styles, and target customers is another great way to reach more potential customers. Make sure you research possible places to contact and narrow down your findings to the best options.

That conclusion will be based on how well your items fit in with the store, if you offer something new that they don’t already have, believe they will generate customer interest and provide an exclusive product, the probability of sales your collection could generate, and lastly, why it would be successful selling at that specific place.
Good luck!
