How to Select Jewelry Wholesale

Selecting jewelry isn’t hard, when you can see it  and touch it. However when you purchase jewelry  wholesale, you often won’t have this opportunity  before making a purchase, since most of these  purchases are made online or through mail order.  This makes the selection process a bit harder.  Start by reading all of the information that is  supplied. Make sure that words like ‘gold plated’ or  ‘faux’ are not used if you are looking for genuine  pieces. Contact the company and ask for more  information if you are unsure about anything that  you are reading as well. Make sure you are getting  wholesale prices. Look for similar pieces at the  online jewelry stores, or even at your local jewelry  stores, and compare the prices. The wholesale  price should be much lower. Also check the refund and exchange policy of the  business you are planning to purchase from. Make  sure that there is a ‘no questions asked’ money  back guarantee, or the offer of a 100% refund if you  are not satisfied.

How to Price Your Jewelry Wholesale

Pricing is an issue that many people in the jewelry  business often worry about. However, there is a  method that you can easily use, whether you  purchase jewelry wholesale or make your own jewelry. Pricing is very important. You don’t want  to charge too much, because you won’t sell  anything. On the other hand, you want to make  sure that you charge enough to make a profit. If you purchase your jewelry at wholesale prices, a  markup of 15% to 30% is usual, and people will pay  these prices. In the grand scheme of things, apply  the 30% markup, and make that the ‘regular’ price.  When you need to move merchandise hold a sale,  and use the 15% markup price as the sale price.  If you make your own jewelry, determine the total  cost of the piece, including the cost of supplies,  shipping, warehousing and packaging, then apply a  15% markup. With the 15% markup, your jewelry  will be priced at the wholesale price. If you sell the  jewelry to the general public yourself, as opposed  to se

How to Open An Online Jewelry Store With Jewelry Wholesale

Opening your own jewelry store has never been  easier than it is now. In fact, you can use the  Internet to open your own online jewelry store and  never stock a single piece of jewelry! In fact, your  jewelry store could be open for business in less  than a day – and the only thing you would need to  do is market it! This is pretty much an instant  business. First, find jewelry wholesale suppliers. If you want a  truly ‘hands-off’ business, find a wholesaler who will  drop ship to your customers. This way, you never  have to handle any of the stock. Here is how it  works. You get your website set up, with an online  catalog of all of the jewelry that you offer. You  market that site to the public. Customers start  visiting your site, and they place orders. You  forward those orders to the drop shipper, and the  drop shipper handles the rest!  Most wholesalers will require you to pay for the  merchandise before it is shipped. This shouldn’t be  a problem because you will require your c

How to Make A Jewelry Wholesale Catalog

So you want to sell your jewelry? Well, selling  jewelry wholesale is a big business, and you  definitely need a catalog of your offerings! Making  a catalog isn’t as difficult as you might think. First,  you have two options: an online catalog or a print  catalog. The choice is yours. Overall, an online catalog is the least expensive  way to advertise your jewelry wholesale company –  but with all of the online jewelry stores and online  wholesalers, it may not be the most effective way  to make sales. A print catalog should strongly be  considered for a direct mailing.  If you make your own jewelry, you will need to get  good pictures of the jewelry – preferably laid on a  velvet setting. Black or blue velvet will bring out the  jewelry the most. You can take these pictures  yourself with a digital camera, or have a  professional take the photographs. It is cheaper to  do it yourself, of course. Load the pictures up onto your computer, and use  publishing software, such as Microsoft
