Starting Your Own Business and Selling Your Wholesale Jewelry From Home
Love jewelry? It's time to start your own jewelry business from home. Needing money and figuring how to get money is on most of our minds today. The subject of selling quality jewelry may be far from thought. But I had an epiphany and wanted to share it with you. I have tested my theory and is now writing this article.
I have owned salons in the past before retiring for health reasons and have enjoyed writing and learning. I have even set up a Extra Income Online blog with numerous ways to make money online and off.
Making money with costume jewelry business was so far in the back of my mind I now feel silly for not thinking about this sooner. You see for years when I was in the salon we carried beauty products and jewelry because we knew the clients needed, wanted or just had to have it. The jewelry was the latter!
I allowed clients to tell me what they wanted more of. The income from selling jewelry was consistent through every season. We even sold out a few times during Mothers Day and the Christmas season!
I took if for granted but not anymore. Jewelry is the accessory that makes an outfit complete. The right jewelry has the power to make a person feel phenomenal with a tee and jeans. The best jewelry will pay your bills and sell itself.

Retail Pricing
You can make it simple to price your jewelry. Exam:Take your wholesale price, shipping cost plus add them together and multiply times 3. It's that simple.The price you come up with will become your discount price. So your negotiation margin will be between your retail price (your cost times 4)and your absolute lowest price (your cost times 3) to keep you in the green.
You can use that formula or research more pricing formulas. You must be consistent and always get reimbursed your cost. Keep competitive prices or your clients will think they are getting inferior merchandise.
