Jewelry Parties

People love to rummage, and often buy more when they get to search through a "treasure chest" or similar container.

A trunkful of earrings that are carded and enclosed in mini-ziplock bags can be an enormously profitable addition to your display at jewelry parties.

Increase your sales even more by volume-discount pricing your "treasure chest" earrings. I offer a price break when people buy 3 pair, and an even bigger price break at 5 pair.

Guests can pass the trunk around for rummaging, and it closes up for easy transportation to and from the party!

How to Run a Home-Based Jewelry Party Business

I highly recommend this well-written guide by Lorri Ely.

This ebook is a do-able, step-by-step action plan. At every step Lorri details exactly what you need to do for successful home jewelry parties, and why - and she provides loads of useful resources and links you can refer to all along the way.

In addition, her jewelry party business forms, templates, and invitation examples alone are worth the price of the ebook.

Read my complete review of this ebook.

Jewelry-making parties can get bogged down if guests have complete freedom to choose what type of jewelry to make, what beads/components to use, etc.

That's because making these choices when there's so much neat stuff to choose from can literally take hours for some people.

Running a jewelry-making party more like a class, where everyone works on the same project at the same time, is much easier.

Or you can make jewelry kits to distribute to everyone, and party guests simply get to choose which kit to work from.

Never underestimate the size of the under-$20 gift market, because your volume of these sales can REALLY add up!

It's a huge market segment, and one that's very easy to sell to, especially at home jewelry parties.

Even when guests come to the party with the intention of not buying anything, you'll be making sales if you have items that cater to this market.
