Selling handmade jewellery

Hi Ambika,
I would suggest you to open a website for yourself, and post your handmade jewellery pictures in taht, see the response, try in ebay , iam not sure how it is done, but one of my friend was telling me....

Why dont you approach retail stores and convince them and supply them on monthly basis, it will definitely fetch you good customers. Just invite all your frds in a commom place or to ur house, display your products, they wil definitely call you to their offices or apratments.

Hope this helps.

 

hi
i do have the same problem. to say clearly more that you. the things is i am making the artificial jewelry for 2 years without much of the marketing. with 2 kids i don't go much out. through friends circle only i am selling it. but the items are moving very slow. and regarding the fancy stores they are not ready to buy for us as they can get cheaper than us. i have even tried this as i thought it to be an easy job. i am also looking for some way to do sell the things. to be frank i can't put stall but i think through website seems to be good idea. but i do afraid that here people are not that much into online shopping. any one out there who have any idea. pls do share with me. is there anyway like sales girls who will get the finished product and sell them and they get a share out of it. what problems one will face with this idea. any body with this experience. for the past few days this idea is itching me so much. but i am afraid to take the risk.
thankyou

Hi Ambika,

I'm from Bangalore, I organise exhibitions in and around bangalore.
If you are willing to come down to b'lore, i've got a exhibition coming up in March, you could put up a stall.
Could you mail me your jewellery pics. send me a pvt msg

Hi Sowmya,
I too am from Bangalore and have been making hand made jewellery for the last 3 years as a hobby. Sold many pieces to friends and gifted to my husband's colleagues. Have lots of ideas in mind but being a homemaker, not able to pursue in a larger scale. Like Latha Saravanan, I too am very reserved and tried selling to Fancy stores but their response is not encouraging.I am itching inside with passion and a desire to earn atleast to pursue my hobby. Participating in an exhibition in Bangalore would be a great idea and a new avenue for me. Kindly guide me in this regard. Shall post the pics of some of my creations shortly.

 

Hi Ladies...

In some MNCs they allow women to put up stalls. Or you can try to contact any colleges if you can put up stalls when they are organizing college fests.

You can also attend some handicraft melas and enquire how did they get a chance to put up a stall. You can meet the crafts mela event manger (or someone who approves the participants) and show him/her your crafts work. Take the contact details of the person and give your mail id to let you abt the next such event.

Also you can try to contact stores which sell handicrafts like jute cottage, Desi (sell terracota jewellery,khadi ,cotton sarees etc) and also dwaraka (which sell bengal cotton sarees)

Gud Luck ladies....
