How To Sell Wholesale Jewelry
By 1ClickProfitSt | September 4th, 2011How to Advertise Wholesale Jewelry for Profit
If you are looking to make money on the Internet, you have to associate yourself with the right products that sell well internationally… products like jewelry.
Jewelry is a massive seller on eBay. One of my favorite things about marketing jewelry is that it’s so lightweight that your shipping costs don’t eat into your takings. Also, because wholesale jewelry items are so small, you don’t need to hire storage for them, making it a very economical choice for sellers.
Doing business on the Net is no different than doing business in your hometown. If you put forward quality products, at reasonable prices, you will make money. You will also get referrals from happy customers. The amount of money you earn is dictated by the spread between the wholesale and retail price of your products. I have used the ‘Asia Wholesale Jewelry Database’ to fast-track the operation and find the products that sells.
The ‘Asia Wholesale Jewelry Database’ shows you where to purchase raw gems and ready-made jewelry in Third World countries. Many of the items you will find can be marked up 500% – 1000%, when retailed in North America or internationally.
I would recommend that you have jewelry that is different and high-quality to sell.
Determine who would most want to buy the jewelry you are selling. Or instead, decide who you want to sell to, and make jewelry that would be of interest to them. Your merchandise should match your market.
Have really clear, appealing photographs of your jewelry. This is important because people can’t physically pick up the jewelry so the photograph has to tell the story. If you can find a local photography student that would be cheapest, or, if you can afford it, engage a professional.

To help get you started, here are 5 essential tips to conquering wholesale jewelry on eBay:
1. Locate a reliable source of jewelry. Wholesalers are a great option. All good ones offer low prices and thorough customer service. When looking for a wholesaler, make sure you take the time to find a trusted one. I always make sure my suppliers fulfil the following requirements:
-They offer safe payment options such as PayPal or credit card payments. This way, you can do a charge back if something goes wrong.
-They are a member of a directory such as ‘SaleHoo.com’ who verifies all their suppliers.
-They have been in business for more than 2 years. (You can check this by going to http://www.domaintools.com and entering their URL to see their company information.)
2. Prior to dealing with a new supplier, order a sample of the wholesale jewelry from them first. This way you can evaluate the calibre of the product prior to committing to a larger order. When ordering samples, make sure you take the time to wear the jewelry yourself to see if it tarnishes or breaks easily. Buyers are always looking for good quality items when it comes to jewelry.
3. Avoid phony goods. This is significant for running a successful operation. The penalties for selling fake items are very serious, and auction sites like ‘eBay’ are dedicated to keeping their sites free from fakes. Occasionally it can be hard telling the difference between a genuine designer item and a fake.
The trouble is, many suppliers of fake wholesale jewelry sell them at very low prices to draw new sellers in.
What these sellers don’t know is that even at a wholesale rate, designer goods are still very pricey. There really is no such thing as a $100 Rolex watch, or a $50 pair of Tiffany earrings… unless of course, they are fake!
4. Once you have sourced your jewelry, give yourself more of a chance of making a sale by including more than one photo of the wholesale jewelry items. Buyers love to see the item thoroughly, and photos are the only way to do this. While it does cost extra in ‘eBay’ fees to list more than 1 photo, it is proven that listings with more than 3 photos sell better than those which do not. If you are concerned about paying more in ‘eBay’ fees, look into using a free image host such as ‘supload.com’.
5. Research the current hot sellers on eBay. Even if you aren’t selling your wholesale jewelry on ‘eBay’, researching what are currently the big sellers there can give you the snapshot you need to sell to succeed on any market. ‘eBay pulse’ (http://pulse.ebay.com/) is a fantastic tool that eBay provides sellers to give them a bird’s eye view of what the hot selling items are.
For jewelry sellers, you can find out the hot sellers by drilling down to the Jewelry and Watches category and seeing what comes up. ‘eBay Pulse’ will then give you the top 10 hot sellers. This will give you some great ideas on what to sell. And Finally, gain access to the ‘Asia Wholesale Jewelry Database’. ‘Asia Wholesale Jewelry Database’.
Apply these 5 tips, and you will be well on your way to succeeding in the wholesale jewelry niche. For Further Information on this Subject and Other Relevant Topics, Take a Look at the Authors Website.
