How to Open An Online Jewelry Store With Jewelry Wholesale
Opening your own jewelry store has never been easier than it is
now. In fact, you can use the Internet to open your own online
jewelry store and never stock a single piece of jewelry! In
fact, your jewelry store could be open for business in less than
a day - and the only thing you would need to do is market it!
This is pretty much an instant business.
First, find jewelry wholesale suppliers. If you want a truly
'hands-off' business, find a wholesaler who will drop ship to
your customers. This way, you never have to handle any of the
stock. Here is how it works. You get your website set up, with
an online catalog of all of the jewelry that you offer. You
market that site to the public. Customers start visiting your
site, and they place orders. You forward those orders to the
drop shipper, and the drop shipper handles the rest!
Most wholesalers will require you to pay for the merchandise
before it is shipped. This shouldn't be a problem because you
will require your customers to pay for their orders at the time
the order is placed. Of course, you charge more for the jewelry
than the wholesaler charges you.
In most cases, you will be allowed to set your own prices. Look
to see what the wholesaler charges you, including shipping, then
add 15% to 30% to that price. This is what you should charge
your customers.
If you aren't sure how to go about setting up a website, you can
probably find a wholesaler who will provide you with a website.
Most of these wholesalers charge a fee for the site, and your
site will usually look like all of their other distributors.
This should be your last option.
You may consider opening an eBay store. There is a fee for this
as well, but at least your store will be unique. You can also
bypass the eBay store and simply set up eBay auctions, which are
very affordable for everyone. Make sure that you set a minimum
reserve price for the jewelry that you are selling so that you
don't lose money, and make sure that the buyer pays all shipping
costs and insurance.
Again, setting up an online jewelry store with jewelry wholesale
is one of the easiest ways to start a business today. You can
literally be up and running in a few short hours, and making
money within twenty-four hours of 'opening your doors!'
