How to Start Your Designer Inspired Jewelry Business
In a time on Recession, many people are considering the feasibility of establishing their own business. Many are unemployed or need to supplement their income and operating a home based business just may be the answer. If you are contemplating starting your own business, you will want to consider a few key points to insure your success.
First, select a wholesaler you can trust. A reliably wholesaler is someone you can talk to over the phone. Be careful of suppliers who only offer customer service via email. A quality wholesaler offers a satisfaction guarantee policy which includes returns without a re-stocking fee. In addition, if you are ordering online make sure the site is a secure before giving your credit card information. Many websites will tell you they are secure but don’t believe it. To be sure a site is secure go to their checkout. The address in the URL bar should read https/www.______ the letter s at the end of the http insures you that the site is secure and it is safe to pay via credit card.
Second, determine you market. This can include trade and craft shows, shops, boutiques, spas, home parties, your own website or even eBay. Determine what works for you; consider things like the amount of time you have to devote to your business and how you will reach your potential customers. Some may consider consignment or placement of their product in shops, while others would rather meet their customers face to face. By developing a marketing plan, identifying your target customers and locating where you will sell, you will be on your way to successfully marketing your product.
Next, advertise. Get the word out that you are in business. Talk to friends and neighbors. Purchase low cost business cards (try Vista Print), print fliers and most importantly make business contacts with people who may help market your product. You might also consider establishing an email list of those you meet and keeping them informed through a weekly or monthly newsletter.
