6 Ways to Sell Fashion Jewelry

Selling fashion jewelries is a great way to earn money. Jewelries are quite easy to sell especially if they are made from out of popular designs and gems. However, just like in any other business it can become a source of stress and anxiety if you don’t know how to sell properly. Here are some ways that you can use to make it big in the fashion jewelry retailing industry.

Buy in bulk
Buying in bulk will get you a better price for the individual items. This will allow you to have a better markup. The price flexibility allows you to have a sizeable profit while making the retail price attractive. There are companies that allow you to buy in bulk with a minimum order placement. While some wholesale traders will allow you to buy only as much as you need. Pro-tip: some traders may ask for your Tax ID so be prepared. When buying in bulk, you have to make sure that your source is credible and that each jewelry item must be made from genuine high quality materials.

Buy jewelry that has quality
Even if it is cheap, low-quality fashion jewelry will just give you headaches. If you are going for cheap and ugly stuff, might as well throw your money into the river. It is not wrong to be picky when buying fashion jewelry that you will be selling later on. But, being choosy will help you gain more customers and bring your business to the ladder of sustainable success.

Sell it on the flea market
Selling your wares on the flea market gives you maximum exposure with very little expense. The flea market has a sizeable amount of foot traffic. It is important to make your stall is professional-looking. Come up with a great branding or name and a nice banner for your stall. This will give you an aura of sophistication which can attract buyers. It pays to have a separate section for youngsters, middle-aged people and senior citizens.

Sell it on a yard sale
Fashion jewelry is a hit on yard sales. Make sure that you know the local ordinances and rules on yard sales before having one. Yard sales are almost cost-free. It is recommended to have the wares well presented to customers.  The jewelry should be properly marked and should have price tags. Before opening a yard sale, you must also exert some marketing strategies to ensure that your neighbors will flock into your yard and leave you with more profit. Display it in a very attractive manner and create some cheap but visually appealing fliers so that your neighbors will be enticed to visit your place.

Place an ad on a local newspaper, radio or use social media
Use the power of media in letting people know that you are selling fashion jewelry. The ad should include your contact information and the items up for sale. You can also post pictures of your wares on Facebook. Use Twitter to entice your followers about your discounted jewelry. The listing of prices on an ad is optional so that the buyers would need to contact you for the information. You may also come up with an email dedicated solely on catering your target market’s questions about your products.  This way, they will know that you are not a scam.  Just be sure to make a quick reply as much as possible.

Sell on eBay
Let’s face it. eBay remains the top auction site and attracts a lot of traffic. Pictures speak a lot and be sure you have tons. Make your prices competitive since you will have lots of competitors. Before posting your products on eBay, make sure to have complete research first so that you are aware with what your competitors are up to.
