Where Should I Sell My Jewelry?

RE: Where Should I Sell My Jewelry? Post By Chien Tay (Guest Post) (06/03/2008) Where ever your mom or aunt or grandmother, gets their hair down, or special place they get make-up, go with her wearing your jewelry, and your relative as well. I did this and loved they way my jewelry looked and asked if I could set up a small stand there to sell some of my work. Hope this helps. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Where Should I Sell My Jewelry?

I think it is really great that you are using your talents for creativity such as this...each person has unique ideas and being able to present your uniqueness through a craft is very good for you and for those who come across your beautiful works of art! Keep it up...online sales may be difficult for you at your age presently...unless maybe a relative or friend over 18 can help get you set up on something like ebay. which would deffinately be helpful for you if someone would, but ebay does charge fees and sometimes makes some people a little concerned that it will cost more than it will actually help market your talents. I'm not sure what your area is like, but keep an eye out for some of the local shops in your area, that sale collectibles, and gift items. It doesn't hurt to ask and the more asking you do the more knowledge you will gain...ask if they offer consignments in there shop, and tell them your goals of selling your handcrafted items. ask for advice, even if they refuse to do consignments alot of the time they are willing to throw some great hints and advice your way :) also ask around, possibly teachers, and others in your life...people are usually willing to give a word of advice, an idea, or a hand if they can. also check out some crafters magazines if you come across any....sometimes they list contests and things such as that, for you to enter, I know it is not a guaruntee of sale...but it will get your name out there and possibly give you even more ideas on where you could market your crafts and how to get started. Good luck to you sweetie. God bless and don't give up your talent for anyone. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Where Should I Sell My Jewelry?

You could of course have your parents do for you but you cannot at age 12. I have bought handmade jewelry at garage sales when the price has been right! There are holiday craft fairs coming up at schools and churches and you might be able to set up a booth and try your luck. Perhaps one or both of your parents would be willing to show your wares at their work. Good luck! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Where Should I Sell My Jewelry?

One problem with fairs is you do have to pay a fee to open a booth. My friends have also found it difficult to get shops to display their work, but it could be a matter of fit--if the style of your jewelry matches the style of a shop, you may have better luck. Here is the web page of one person I know who makes jewelry: http://www.bastetsbeads.com/ You can see that she uses a combination of website and E-bay. As a twelve-year-old, you have some advantages and disadvantages. You may have difficulty in some situations that require someone to be an adult, or you may have difficulty in getting people to take you seriously, so you may need to find a trustworthy adult to work with you. On the other hand, you may be able to find a way to bank on the cute factor--people love to buy things from cute kids. You may think you are beyond that stage (it's not like you're three anymore), but trust me, you still have some of that. And adults admire young people who are being industrious and want to reward them. How about garage sales? You could look in the paper (there may be an online version if you don't get the paper) on Fridays. If there are any garage sales in your neighborhood, try contacting the person giving the sale and asking if you can set up a table there to sell your jewelry. You could even offer to give them a percentage of your earnings (a small percentage). That way you have no up-front expense that could sink you.

Have your friends make some stuff too that way you have a variety of things. Choose to do it at a house (your's, a friend's or family member) that is on a busy street. Good Luck. :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Where Should I Sell My Jewelry?

What about selling via craft faires and street faires? Report Spam or Abuse
