What are some good ideas for selling handmade jewelry other than Ebay??

Question

I've recently started making jewelry and I'm looking for good ideas on how and where to market it. Any ideas???

Answer 1

I make jewelry too, and I have found a couple of Artist shops in my town that take in artwork from different vendors. If you know what you are doing, you can go into one of these places and see if they would be interested in selling your stuff. Of course, you would have to give them a percentage of the profits. There is also craft shows. This time of year is great too since it's getting close to Christmas. You could make up a ton of jewelry and maybe even see if any friends make anything that they would want to sell and get a booth...it's usually not much money. Other than that, I have had luck bringing mine into work--lots of men and women both have bought things from me that way. I have tons of beads too, so sometimes I bring in what I have and do a custom order. Good luck & have fun!

Try town markets that would allow you to set up a little booth or station to display your jewelry. Here they have a flea market every month thats where most people sell their handmade items. Or you could or have some really close friends or relatives wear your jewelry to kind of advertise it. A girl i know started making purses and had her sister carry them to school and people started wanting them, she nows has a little store in town.

Handmade jewelry signifies that you are lending a hand to support meticulous and proficient artisans. Of course, these artisans have laid their mind, heart and soul into each bit they craft. Artisans always worship what they accomplish and it proves in their elegant designs. Consequently, they create only gigantic class of handmade jewelry for their clients. In other words, you are also facilitating to persuade first-class superior craftsmanship globally.

Hi-

I would invest in neighborhood garage sales and flea markets...Distribute flyers in your neighborhood, and local businesses.....Start your own showing per se'...*smiles* Instead of Mary Kay- you sell jewelry.. Host a jewelry showing party....The possibilities are endless....

Good luck
