Don't Forget the Office & Corporate Gifts

This is a huge hidden market IMHO. I have done several trunk shows in downtown office buildings and was welcomed by both genders who are just TOO busy to shop. I always offer free gift wrapping, note cards and delivery options for my jewelry purchases.

Also, I have marketed to several companies and offered a variety of one of a kind corporate gifts. This was also well received. My marketing materials included an artist bio and photo samples of what types of jewelry & accessory gifts are available.

Never forget you are providing a service but you need to get in front of people so that service may be utilized!!!!

This is one HOT marketing tip. Let me know if it works for you!

5 Places to Sell Your Jewelry

These are great places to start selling your handcrafted jewelry creations:

Host a Trunk Show in your home and invite family and friends. Is it a hit? Offer an incentive to the next person who hosts a trunks show (% of the proceeds towards FREE jewelry)

Approach Salon or Local Boutique and ask if they would be interested in a private trunk show for their customers with the salon/boutique receiving ~ 20% of the proceeds.

Festivals often have vendors and bread and butter items (under $15) will sell well.

The office lunch trunk show is often a huge hit.
