How do I Raise Money by Selling Beaded Jewelry?
Whether you find it in the form of bracelets, necklaces or earrings, beaded jewelry can be more than a trendy accessory. When the profits from a beaded jewelry sale are dedicated to benefit an organization or a cause, beaded jewelry becomes an eye-catching and fashion-forward way to pique buyers' interest and generate new funds. Introduce your jewelry to your circle of acquaintances by hosting a jewelry party. You'll grow your base of potential buyers in a fun and inexpensive way.

Host a jewelry party featuring an array of beaded jewelry at your home or another clean, spacious, well-lit venue. Select a venue that offers plenty of space for display tables and chairs for your guests. Clean the venue thoroughly, if needed, to create a clean and inviting environment for guests to peruse your items.

Design, print and distribute fliers describing your event. Invite your friends, family, coworkers and other acquaintances by using a word processing or desktop publishing application to create fliers that include the date, time, location of your event, forms of payment accepted, and pictures of two or three of the beaded sale items. Save the document to a computer or thumb drive and email an electronic version of the flier in an attachment to your acquaintances as well. Distribute the flier about two to to three weeks before your event.
