1. Business cards – You must give your customers a way to contact you after the transaction has been completed. Include a business card in every package. Weather you are at an art faire or selling on line and mailing the package. This is great for repeat business. Include all pertinent information, such as Business name, your name, address, email address and phone numbers – I have always used Vista Prints and love them. I signed up and always wait for there email with free items and get my cards then.
2. Earring Display Cards – I also use Vista Prints for these as well. I use there small sized Postcard . I had a graphic design artist create a design that fits on half of the card. I get two per card and then cut the card in half when it arrives. I keep the design simple and only included the business name on the front and then all the important information on the back – Business name, your name, address, email address and phone numbers.
3. I always supply jewelry gift boxes. At shows and when I send items out in the mail. I do not have them printed, but I do wrap them with ribbon and include a hand made tag with a thank you on the back. I have found many cute tags on Etsy. I use Bags and Bow for all of my boxes and ribbon. They even offer some great eco friendly boxes.
4. If you are participating in art and craft fairs, you will need some great gift bags to send your customers off with. In the past I have purchase some really cute gift bags from Bags and Bow they were a frosted bag with a design on them. They were small enough for jewelry, but could also double as a gift bag, just add tissue. One year I had customers wanting to just by the bags to wrap there Christmas Gifts in. Need less to say there were a hit. You can also get address label size stickers from Vista Prints and add you business name and website and put them on your bags or the back of your envelopes if you are sending items in the mail.
5. One last thing to consider is to offer Gift Certificates. This is a great way increase sales.Some people are hard to buy for and the client may have the gift of jewelry in mind, but just can not seem to pick the right piece for that person. A Gift certificate is an easy solution.
So, making beautiful designs is only the half of it. Make sure all of your items are consistant with the same design and pick boxes, bags, tags and ribbons that go well with your design.
Blessings for many creative designs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
