If November and December are "feast" time for your jewelry business, January may seem like famine.

The holiday shopping frenzy is over, and Valentine's Day jewelry shopping seems like a long way away. Sometimes it's hard to scrape up many jewelry sales in between these two big occasions.

But here's one way to power up your January jewelry sales:

Once the New Year starts, people are very ready for the fresh, light, bright colors and styles of Spring. With the holiday season over, Winter begins to drag on many people, and they're very susceptible to clothes and jewelry in Spring colors and styles.

The fashion industry is very well aware of this. Spring clothing and fashion catalogs usually start trickling into your mailbox around December 26, and are pouring into it by the first week of January.

Gather these catalogs as they arrive, and use them to do some research. As you flip through them, keep an eye out for major color trends and color combinations in their Spring clothing lines.

For example, a few years ago two extremely popular color combinations that were all over the Spring catalogs were

• turquoise + lime, and


• pink + orange.

What will it be this year?

The predominant colors and palettes you see in these catalogs are what the clothing industry will be promoting and selling for this Spring, and most people will be adding a few pieces of new clothing in these colors to their wardrobes - even if they buy only a new top or jacket to update their look.

Incorporate these major new colors and color combos into your jewelry. People will want to buy jewelry to go with their new Spring outfits, and they'll be thrilled to see how wonderfully your Spring jewelry collection matches all their new clothes.

Don't forget to notify your customers when your new Spring jewelry line is ready, and tell them it's loaded with whichever new colors you've chosen to emphasize. Add a call to action - "Come and find the perfect bracelet or earrings to match your new Spring clothes!"

See if this doesn't chase the January jewelry sales blues away!
