How to Sell Your
Handmade Jewelry
in a Profitable New Way
Learn how to sell your handmade jewelry to private clients who love to buy from you - again and again.
Hello, I'm jewelry artist Rena Klingenberg.
I first stumbled onto the "jewelry shopping service" approach to selling my handmade jewelry a few years ago.
I couldn't believe I'd never heard anyone talk about this before - because it's a wide-open field with tons of opportunities for selling your jewelry.
It's the main way I sell my jewelry now.
And in this complete guide, I detail everything you need to know to start your own profitable jewelry shopping service, selling your handmade jewelry.
I
just DEVOURED "Secrets of a Handcrafted Jewelry Shopping Service".
I thought I would read a few pages and then put it aside to take care
of a few errands I wanted to run this morning, but I couldn't put it
down! What an incredible resource this is.
I would
have never thought to take this approach to marketing my jewelry and
services without this book. Already I see
the endless possibilities for expanding my business using your
approach. Not only did I discover a whole new perspective for selling
jewelry but I also learned how very valuable my services are.
My mind is on fire with the possibilities! I'm already working on a
plan of action to implement these ideas in my own business.
I know
that this is a resource that I will return to read again and again
because there is so much valuable information here to work with.
I can't thank you
enough. I am sure this book will be hugely successful as will
any jewelry artist who applies this approach to their business.
What's
a
Jewelry Shopping Service?
It's a creative, profitable way to sell your handmade jewelry (I'll show you exactly how to do it, step by step).
You'll do private jewelry showings for individual clients, helping them choose jewelry items to purchase for themselves or to give as gifts.
Sounds easy? It is. And there's a real need for this type of service.
People are busier than ever, and many folks find that mainstream shopping options have become too overwhelming, frustrating, and time-consuming.
So imagine how relieved these customers are when they discover a jewelry artist who works with them personally to solve their gift-giving and accessorizing problems - quickly, simply, and painlessly.
They're thrilled that you provide such an efficient, pleasant shopping experience - and that you always seem to have just the right the jewelry for them.
The Key to Success:
Provide What Your Clients
Really Want.As a jewelry artist, there are huge opportunities to sell your work this way, as you'll see in "Secrets of a Handcrafted Jewelry Shopping Service".
I'll show you how to grow your customer base - including a ton of tips for providing the exact products and services your clients really want.
And I detail all the special touches that turn your jewelry customers into frequent buyers.
I'll also show you how you can make your jewelry gift and shopping service your entire jewelry business, or just one income stream of it.
It's a Very Profitable Way
to Sell Your Jewelry.You'll be selling your jewelry directly to your clients, at full retail prices.
That means you won't be paying for any booth fees, shop commissions, party hostess incentives, wholesale discounts, or other selling expenses.
In fact, one of the best things about it is that you keep more of the money from each sale, because there's no "middleman" to pay. Nearly 100% of the proceeds go directly to your business.
Also, many of your clients will be fairly big spenders. (I'll show you where to find them!)
They love your customized jewelry selections, personal service, and the way you take their gift-giving and shopping problems out of their hands. And they're willing to pay quite well for it.
Everything You Need to Know
Is in This Complete Guide.I've tested and polished these "jewelry shopping service" strategies so that they really work well - for you and your jewelry clients.
And I haven't held anything back - "Secrets of a Handcrafted Jewelry Shopping Service" is your complete, 128-page, step-by-step success guide and idea-starter for selling your jewelry in this exciting new way.
You don't have to go through the same learning curve I did to figure out what really works (and what doesn't!).
I've already done it for you, and I share every detail in this book - including loads of real-life examples and success tips from my own handmade jewelry shopping service.

This book is absolutely true from beginning to
end! When Rena says "you should do this to sell more jewelry", then you
DEFINITELY should!
Every time I'm interested in an ebook for sale, I wonder if the price I
pay will be worth - most of the times, ebooks contain only general
advice that can be easily found for free on marketing sites.
But this is NOT the case! This
book contains exactly the things you would only learn otherwise by
making mistakes - and making mistakes is
just what this book will keep you from, so you are NOT wasting your
money buying this book - in fact I think she should raise the price!
As a jeweller herself, Rena understands perfectly the main obstacles a
seller has to go through, specially when starting a serious business.
The book is written with long expertise in selling and finding your
space in the jewelry business world. Be sure you will be involved in
all the situations Rena talks about, and be sure do to as she says!
This is the approach to marketing of a mature salesperson and a
creative artist, with a profound respect for both the customers and the
business itself.
The
book is clearly written and offers multiple alternatives suitable for
any jeweller's specific needs and situations.
I've tried and used many of the techniques explained in this book
through the years and I've proved they work!
I can never says enough to the jewelry beginners
that ask me for consultation how important is to give red carpet
treatment to customers - Rena
shows you how, step by step, giving more and more examples and
solutions as the book goes by - and it's more than a hundred pages of
solutions!
I think this book is a must if you want to start a jewelry business
with a solid foundation that will grow by itself later. I wish I had
read this book when I started, it would've saved years of trial and
error!
