I am a work artist.I wire gold filled and sterling silver.I am relatively new (14 months) to art, but were very diligent in practice, and have got quite good.I sold to friends during the holidays. Now that its finished, I have about 200 pieces to try sell.What is the best way forward? I hear other artists son, who have been successful and how you did it.Thanks
Most can not, some do. You must attend trade fairs, at flea markets and rock and jewelry shows and talk to everyone you meet.
Maybe try to sell them on eBay to see what kind of response you get. It's pretty easy to join and the cost is minimal. This way, you can choose, for example, your top 5 pieces and prices as you want. Based on these answers, you will get a glimpse of what is wanted.
Have you a name in mind for your jewelry line? Before you invest time, money and effort into a name, it is strongly advised to conduct extensive research to ensure that the name you want is really available.
This involves finding the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the U.S. National files of the common law. Secondly, so clear, you can decide if you wish to apply federal or state trademark.
Research is needed to ensure that your business name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation, or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!
There are 16 + million names in use in commerce in the United States. Similar names, so close to its appearance, or meaning. similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by the use of common law (14 million), the State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million).
Yes u Can I have a friend who just came into this business and it became a very lucky woman, but she's a bit of jewelry Exspensive it depends how u sell it anyway, my answer is yes
Yes hand is nice. handmade jewelry is "in" in our country, the Philippines. if demand remains strong, adding more labor and capital heart. Yes, I agree with Richard, too! And find a good place to sell and mouth-to-mouth from people who bought it is nice, and have regular customers, too.
I guess it depends on where you do. If you do it in a county like India, it is very popular and you can earn a good living on it. The only problem with a country like India will be the competition you face. Some western countries are now interested in the money in hand and gold jewelry and perhaps in the near future their might be a good market.
