I started my handmade jewelry business back in march and I have a decent client base made up of my friends and some people that I have reached through the internet, but I love to make jewelry and I want my business to grow faster. I run as many free ads as possible and I have a free drawing every month where I give away jewelry. How can I market my business better?

The way to increase business is to create a buzz about it. find the more popular members of the demographic your selling to and get them to wear and talk about your stuff. For example, if their is a high school nearby, get the cheerleaders to wear some.

Start a YahooBeta360 page (for free) and show us in your pics what your jewelry looks like. Teach us , show us thru your blogs the steps you take in making each unique piece. Take tons of pictures and start building your portfolio. You need to document everypiece of jewelry you make. You never know who will cross your path.
Create a web site for free, have a friend design a web site for free so he can advertise for free his web design on your web site. I have a friend who is a power seller on e-bay. If I ask him, he would put your link on his webpage. He sells internationally. We recently became business partners for another venture, a new company we have just formed.
It's called marketing. I hold a University Degree, I have a Bachelor in Business Administraton and my major is Marketing.
Before answering your question I checked you out. You were born today on YahooAnswer and you don't have a 360 page.
Stop everything and go post your avatar on beta360.
I have met hundreds of people on beta360. I even had Yahoo delete my beta360 page because I created quite a drama. I wanted to see how far I could push the envelop. People complained. I lost everything. All my emails as well.
I had to start over and I adjusted to the new me.
I can teach you for free to help your business grow. There are many aspects and many ways to grow.
Last year my business grossed $ 250,000.
What if next year you gross $250,000.
Can you handle it ????

Do you have a library nearby? Check out the book "Marketing without Money" by Nicholas E Bade. You will find 300 ideas on how to promote your products/services. If your local branch doesn't have the book, see if they can order it from a partner library.
