Helping Your Jewellery to Sell - By: Sarahv A Lane

If you buy and sell wholesale jewellery for a living then this is a great way to make a living and a very easy business model. By buying wholesale jewellery in bulk you can get a significant discount and then sell the jewellery on at a profit while still offering it for a reasonable price. Then by marketing it well and using the right strategies you can make your wholesale jewellery highly popular and make a lot of money back on your initial investment.

If you have some wholesale jewellery you are hoping to sell on then, what strategies and techniques can you use to help it sell more effectively? Here we will look at some tips.

First of all you should make sure that you have a website. This is a great hub through which you can sell your items and this will be very much like your shop window combined with your shelf. People can then browse to your wholesale jewellery either through search engines or through promotion that you have done yourself on websites and social networking sites, and from here then can then make purchases with no input from you.

Next you need to know how best to organize your items on that website. This means first and foremost making them jump out of the page so that they look appealing and so that you draw attention to them. If they are not well arranged or well photographed then they will look less appealing.

You can then use some psychological tricks to make people more likely to buy right away. One of these is to use a strategy called 'contrast'. Here you place one item that you are charging more for, next to one that you are selling a lot more cheaply. The reason this works so well is that it makes the cheaper item seem really cheap comparatively and that means people are more likely to buy it and to think that they are being reserved and using self restraint when they do. What will go through their head is something along the lines of 'at least I didn't buy the really expensive one'.

Another option is to put a time limit on your items – say that you have limited stock or that the price will increase after a certain time. This is important as it encourages impulse buys and means that your visitors don't leave the site in order to think about making a purchase. This is valuable because for many shoppers 'maybe later' is most likely to become 'never' so you need to strike while they're interested and most likely to click buy.

That's another tip then – make your buy button big and obvious and make the checkout very simple to navigate. This is one of the secrets to Amazon's incredible success – the 'buy with one click' button making it all to easy for someone to have a slight lapse in judgment at which point it becomes a hassle for them to cancel their order and they become more likely therefore to stick with their decision.
