How to Sell Jewelry Wholesale
If you are a creative person, with a great sense of style
and flair, you may be able to start your own business – making
and selling jewelry wholesale. Because people are so very
unique, they want jewelry pieces that are unique –
one-of-a-kind pieces that nobody else in the world owns! This
desire can make you quite a bit of money – simply start your
very own jewelry wholesale company.
You can easily order wholesale supplies from hundreds of
companies around the globe online – at really low prices. It is
important to keep up with how much each part of each piece of
jewelry costs you, and to get a total cost of each piece,
including any expenses that you had for having supplies shipped
to you. With the total cost figured, you can easily set your
prices by adding 15% to the cost.
You can sell your pieces in a variety of ways. You can open
your own online wholesale jewelry store, sell to local jewelry
stores, rent booths at local flea markets and fairs, or
advertise your jewelry making skills and take orders for unique
pieces. You can also sell your pieces on consignment at
boutiques.
You want to be known for your quality. Always select the
highest quality gems and stones for your pieces, and make sure
that the craftsmanship is outstanding. Become exclusive, and
more people will want to purchase your pieces – and never make
any two pieces alike.
However, you can also go the other route and make hundreds
of identical pieces, as they are ordered. You do this by making
one very unique, high quality piece, and showing it to your
local jewelry stores. Ask them if they would like to order in
bulk, then fill the order.
Another option is to do catalog sales. Make enough pieces to
fill a small catalog, and take pictures of each piece. Write a
description for each piece and then put together your own
catalog using software and a good printer – or send the work to
a print shop. You can send these catalogs out to a list that
you obtain from a direct mailing list company.
This type of business does require creativity and skill, but
it also requires the ability to market yourself and your
jewelry. You need to have business cards printed, and also have
catalogs and brochures printed as well to market your jewelry
wholesale business.
