I am a huge fan of David Weiman's jewelry marketing products. The 5 keys DVD will have your brain popping with ideas on how to talk to customers , making the most of shows and so much more.

He has a jewelry e-newsletter that will keep your marketing skills razor sharp throughout the whole year. Don't you want consistent sales vs peak holiday money?

The place it all started is with the Jewelry Selling Answer Book which is now available in print. David guarantees all his products so you don't have to take my word for it!

Here's to you creating a profitable jewelry business! :)

Online Resource-The Switchboards-Connecting Creative Women in Business

One of my favorite online resources for picking another artistic entrepreneur's brain or learning something new by just reading is The Switchboards. I know I have blogged about this site before but I can NOT write enough GREAT things about it! I have learned so many awesome tips from PR to photography that it is worth another mention.

Plus, I just stumbled across a post by one of my jewelry heroes, Amy Peters, that is worth it's weight in gold. It is a list of various online blogs to submit your PR to. Plus, it is so timely that I found it considering my most recent post.....partnership and promoting your jewelry/art to online blogs. Just realize that you MUST do your research first by checking out what the blogs target audience is before you pitch the blog editor. Some blogs have paid partnerships while others if they feature you are FREE.

The point is this is a great first step to get you marketing your jewelry/art to the masses via the world wide web. Remember, you must spend at least 10-15 minutes every day marketing your business and don't expect overnight success....just be consistent and you will see results...sales and more exposure!

Have a fabulous Monday!

Use E-Cards This Holiday to Connect with Your Customers

If you have an e-commerce jewelry site, you will most likely have a "newsletter/updates" sign up where you can keep in front of your customers. I just found a great article on using E-cards during the Holiday Season to connect with your jewelry newsletter subscribers/list by Gail Goodman, the CEO of Constant Contact.

I use Constant Contact for my jewelry newsletter list because I can create 'newsletters' and choose to send at specific dates/times. This allows me to have my updates on autopilot and allows me to get busy in the studio creating jewelry!

What are you doing to put your jewelry business on autopilot when it comes to holiday marketing?
