There are many different ways that you can sell your handmade jewelry crafts. Here is a list of some of those ways you can use to help sell your jewelry creations.
Try using eBay . This can be used to sell anything and along with setting up a PayPal account could be the easiest way to sell your jewelry crafts. For the best results in selling your jewelry crafts on eBay you should give as many details as possible including pictures of the jewelry product. Do some research on the eBay site to find what other sellers are charging for products similar to yours so that you are not overpriced and will get a profit.
Make your own website to sell your jewelry products. You can find books or other websites that can help guide you through the process of building your own website. You will need to create your website and be able to host it so that consumers can find it and shop on it. You will also need to advertise on other websites for the website you just created to get the word out letting people know where they can go to buy your jewelry crafts.
Word of mouth is a great way for other people to know that you are selling your jewelry crafts. Let friends and family know that you want to sell your jewelry creations and ask that they pass that information to other friends and family members. To spread the word you can use emails or texting for teenagers.
Find Internet auction other then eBay to help you sell your jewelry crafts. You may be able to find Internet auction sites locally to use for free and keep down your shipping costs for your jewelry crafts. When advertising for any of the Internet auction sites make sure to be thorough when explaining your jewelry crafts so that the consumer will be satisfied and more likely to come back to you when they need or want more jewelry.
Look into your local craft fairs or craft boutiques. Sometimes you need to buy a booth or rent space from someone who already has a booth. This will get your jewelry crafts out to a larger population. If you can’t find any craft fairs or craft boutiques in your local area you should try looking around for swap meets, flea markets or gem shows; all these types of markets are a great way for you to get your product out to the public and help you earn some extra money doing a craft that you love.
Think about doing community sales. These can be for your church, school, fire or police department or even the local library, donate part or all of the proceeds if you do this idea. All these community groups run on a tight budget and by you donating some of your profit to them they are also helping you by getting your name out there.
Think of doing your own open house jewelry party. Use unique and innovative layouts to display all your jewelry crafts. You can also call on friends to wear your jewelry designs as live models. Invite your neighborhood whether you know them or not, you may be surprised in who shows up.
Use yard sales to help sell your jewelry crafts. Talk to neighbors or friends that may be having a yard sale to see if you can display and try to sell your jewelry at their yard sale. Have your own yard sale to sell the jewelry crafts if you need to.
