What is the best way to upsell jewelry?
958542
I am a recruiter for a major jewelry chain and I have attended several of their sales seminars. What is taught within my company is very simple - Basically to sell means to get the person's story and feed it back to them. For example, Bob comes in to your store and you ask him "Who are you spoiling today?" He says, "My wife". Then go on to ask him questions but not to be too inquisitive - use a conversational mode. When he tells you all of the answers you feel you need to aptly suggest an item, go for this "Ok Bob, you told me that your wife loves rubies but hates the color of gold. She has alot of silver and white gold pieces and has been complaining of not having a bracelet to match her ruby necklace. May I suggest this white gold bracelet with rubies?" Then move on to something like this - "To complete the look, we have these lovely white gold and ruby earrings..etc." Obviously, any sale will be much more complicated and detailed than the example I have provided but it can be used as a guidelin. Basically, what you are looking to do is GET THEIR STORY and TELL IT BACK TO THEM. They will tell you exactly what they want, what they don't want, and any possibilties for add-ons.

Sell products that people actually want. \n\nSelling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tough, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees.\n\neBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace: \n\nItems In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html  \n\nHot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left. \n\neBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action. \n\nMerchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html  to view the current Merchandising Calendar.\n\nHow to Find the Hottest Products to Sell on eBay\n http://www.powerhomebiz.com/102005/ebay.htm\n\nFor managing ebay listings, I use Timbercreek's Sold! http://www.timbercreeksoftware.com/... - it can create invoices, schedule your listings, manage multiple auctions, manage customers, track payments receive, etc.\n\nI suggest you read the articles on Success with Auctions http://www.powerhomebiz.com/internet/auctions.htm\n\nBuying from garage sales and selling on eBay is fun, and good getting a few dollars here and there from ebay. Sometimes, you luck out on an item and hit big, but many times it will just be so-so (assuming you can even get the price you paid for it). In terms of fun factor, it is great. But from a business stand-point, it is not. Not sustainable.\n\nIf you want to earn serious money from eBay, you need to have a well-thought out business model. Selling on ebay is getting tougher -- just look at the number of auctions that closes without a bid. Go to the boards on ebay and you will hear even oldtimers complaining about how stiffer competition plus higher fees make it so much harder to sell on ebay.\n\nOne success model of ebay is the couple Jay and Marie Senese (username jayandmarie) of the 1-cent CD fame. They have the highest positive feedback number of all sellers on eBay. Their business model is to buy very low cost CDs in bulk (those that CD stores sell in their discount bins) and offer them on ebay at a starting price of 1 cent http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_23/b3886080.htm Their success is based on the fact that they stumbled on a sustainable business model with products that people really want. They sold their business -- where else but on ebay -- for $5 million! Now that is success.

open and e-bay store.  go to stores that are not chains-- like little specialty shops (especially if you live in a tourist area!)  and offer them 15% of what they sell them for.   agree on a price and see if that works out.

You should get 2-3 prices from different jewelers if possible.  They will often offer more if they know you are shopping around.  You should also make an attempt to find the owner.  Some diamonds are marked and can be traced.

You can sell to boutique stores but be careful of consignment.. There is also a boutique show where buyers go to buy wholesale.. it is expensive to do these shows but if you jewelry is unique and highly salable it might be worth a shot.. and you might branch into doing craft shows and state fairs - wherever people go in your area - - Christmas can be great in the right mall but also expensive - you get what you pay for... if the rents are high that usually means that the traffic is high too... You must have the inventory to make it worthwhile..\n\nYes, I used to do this for a living - best to you..

If it has sentimental value, take it to a jeweler and ask what it would cost to have it replated.  Try a locally owned jeweler rather than a mall jewelry store.

First off it all depends on how you market your jewelry. If you want to sell this for $1,000 or more you need to make your customers precieve that kind of value on your product. \n\nFirst if you know that your jewelry is one of a kind you need to show that it does. Your own style and label. Labeling your jewelry is your name to fame. Especially the ones you see in the art galleries. Make your jewelry unique, creative, your style, your design. Make your name as a Brand. Market your name as a Brand. So when people hear your name they know it's your jewelry.\n\nExample: When you say McDonald's...people think of Big Mac\n\nI'm gonna give you a tip that I learned from my father he used to buy old cars and resold the car himself. This is what he used to do to get more money for his car. He used to place flyers in local stores sending customers to my brother's house, to see the car for a high price, which didn't say how much the price of the car this flyer states that we accept any offers. Then in a few days later he place another ad which sent customer's to his house, which this flyer has a lower price on the same car advertise.  So in the end he was selling his car for more, but price was cheaper than from my brother's house. Without Negotiating any pricing on the car.\n\nKnow you can use the same system to resell your jewelry. For example you can set up a website selling it for really high. And you can set up an account on Ebay where your going to sell it for less. Now remember whatever price you sell on your website your going to sell it on Ebay for 1/2 of the price.\n\nYou can also create a blog about jewelry art. And you can talk about your designs. This will increase your Branding.\n\nGood Luck and I hope this will help you in your jewelry business venture.\n\nLuis Galarza,  Business and Telecommunication Consultant\nfor communication tips go to http://www.cogni360blog.co.nr\nand for free business tips go to http://luisgalarza.blogspot.com

The totally easiest way in the WORLD is ebay.com, all you need is to set up an account, upload pictures of your item, describe it and tell people what you would charge for shipping.  Ebay only charges a $.30 listing fee and 5% overheard fee when you sell the item.  Not much when you consider an e-commerce website is about $50 a month on average. \nAuctiva.com is a free site that helps you make a listing look awesome.\n\nIt's easy and cheap!

Take samples and talk to managers/owners but first you need to figure out how much you paid for them and how much u want to make.  Give the watches to manager for the amount you need to make a profit on and he will raise that price to make an amount HE needs to make.  So let's say you paid $5.00 each and u want to make $10.00 on each.  You tell manager you want to sell them for no less than $15.00 ea.  Whatever he sells them for you don't worry about.  He will make a profit on any price OVER $15. A good place to sell these things is Hair Salons, Gift Shops, smaller stores and specialty shops.  Also try Ebay.

If there are diamonds, take the rings to a jeweler and have the stones reset into earrings, pendant, or something else that fits your style.\n\nHave the gold melted and used to make a new piece of jewelry. Some jewelers do custom work, so look around. You won't find those places in the mall, so use the phone book and call around.

My wife started selling Premier Designs Jewelry. It is only about $125.00 to start. She has been selling it for about 2 weeks (really only worked about 3 hours) and has made over $4,000. Yeah, I know. If she keeps this up shes not going back to work full time!!
