Rena,

I have a successful story to tell you after reading your tips in Secrets of a Handcrafted Jewelry Shopping Service:

I sold our washing machine service man 5 pair of earrings tonight.

He came up from the basement after I had gone down there to thank him for coming on a rainy Friday evening. I told him that I had a jewelry display upstairs and that I could help him with his holiday shopping: I gift wrapped everything as he came to my jewelry room.

I gave him my phone to call his relatives to ask them what their favorite stones were.

Then he gave me cash and was thrilled that I fulfilled half of his female shopping needs, as they are very picky women! He wants to come back, too!

When he had his aunt on the line, he gave me the phone. She asked me to give her nephew plenty of cards with my website. Whether or not this develops into future business is not my immediate concern.

The fact that I was willing to try to offer my help, instead of feeling like I was pestering someone, is a new marketing technique I have learned from Rena Klingenberg.

Note from Rena: Elizabeth, I'm so excited for you, for stepping out and experiencing the joy and power of being able to help someone solve their gift-giving problems. It's one of the things jewelry artists do best! Congratulations, and thanks so much for sharing your success story!

Our neat site this week is Jodi Bloom's So Charmed.

Jodi is a storyteller as well as a jewelry artist, and her site has a wonderful "personality". It's different in a fascinating way. Instead of jewelry categories like earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, her categories include poets, princesses, pirates, and other archetypes.

Her designs are equally unique and wonderful, often incorporating rare collectible vintage beads and charms.

Got jewelry shows this Holiday season? It's the best, most profitable time of year for selling jewelry.

Sell more of your jewelry with the secrets you'll learn in my downloadable ebook, Ultimate Guide to Your Profitable Jewelry Booth.
