Your Profitable Jewelry Business
Holiday Gatherings Can Result in Jewelry Sales
by Rena Klingenberg
Since many of us will be going to holiday gatherings over the next several weeks, I want to point you to a post I published in my Jewelry Business Blog last year:
How Holiday Gatherings Can Result in Jewelry Sales.
At nearly any get-together you attend, your friends, loved ones, and new acquaintances will always ask what you've been doing lately.
And when you tell them about the latest jewelry you've been making (and they see the lovely pieces you're wearing), they almost always say they'd like to see more of your work.
It doesn't hurt to come prepared to do a friendly show-and-tell of a small selection of your jewelry. Seeing leads to buying, and people would always rather shop from someone they know.
Your friends and family are also also happy to tell their friends and co-workers about you and your jewelry, after seeing part of your collection.
My holiday gatherings blog post shares tips and ideas for making it a win-win experience for all!
Neat Jewelry-Related Website
Our interesting site today is Jewelry by Melissa Muir, "where art and jewelry play together."

Sell Your Jewelry Online
No matter how you sell your jewelry online, you have to do your own marketing if you want to make sales.
Using the step-by-step strategies you'll learn in my book, Social Networking: Sell Your Jewelry Online the New Way, you can easily develop your own online customer base, without competition from other jewelry artists.
