Jewelry Selling Supplies
In order to produce and market jewelry, you need jewelry selling supplies as well as jewelry making supplies.
|
The supplies that you need depend on the venue you choose to sell your jewelry in. A business that focuses on online sales will need more computer related supplies, while a business that focuses on person to person sales will need more displays and price tags and such.
Some jewelry selling supplies that you will need no matter where you sell your inventory are receipts, zip lock bags and jewelry boxes or bags - or both! Whether you sell online or at shows or parties, it's nice for your customer to be able to take their jewels home in a pretty package. It will give your business an air of quality and bring in repeat business.

I sell mostly online and I package all of my jewelry in a zip lock bag and put that inside a gold foil jewelry box.
When the customer opens her package it's like getting a little present inside! I also include a receipt with my URL to encourage a repeat visit. You can also include little gift certificates and pens or magnets with your shop name and URL.
Some jewelry selling supplies for online sales that might not be obvious is the equipment that helps you present your items online. You will need a computer, a high speed internet connection and a digital camera. You have 3 choices in online marketing - an online mall, your own site or an online auction. Each requires that you learn how to take excellent photos of your jewelry and write adequate descriptions as well as a minimum of computer knowledge so that you can find your way around the site and get your items uploaded.
Jewelry selling supplies for shows, fairs and jewelry parties are all about the presentation. You will need some good displays that enhance your jewels and present an air of quality. Don't buy cheap displays as they will not show your products to their best advantage and will fall apart easily. Nice necklace busts can be bought quite reasonably and are well worth the price as are ring displays, earring trees and bracelet ramps. You can even buy a whole display set, complete with all the different pieces and goes together looking like an expensive jewelry store display. Tags are important too - don't buy tags that are too big as they will take away from the jewelry.
