Selling Costume Jewelry

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Judy Carrier with Jewels by Park Lane. I'm going to talk to you about selling costume jewelry. Well, I don't like that term, those of us in the business and I've been in the business for over thirty years, prefer to call it fashion jewelry. Because we're not going to a masquerade you know, this is not Halloween. At least not yet. So, when you're selling fashion jewelry, first of all you pick the type of jewelry you're going to sell. Are you just raiding your mom's jewelry box or getting all the stuff that grandmother left you and you're going to get rid of that? Fine, the easiest way to do that is a yard sale or maybe take it to a flea market one time. And you're going to have to pay for your little booth or your table. Make sure you have a banner with a name on it. It gives you a little credibility. Or you can just advertise it in your local newspaper. Again, it's going to cost you, so you have to know what other things of that quality or type are selling for. So you have to do a little research first to get the most out of it. Or if you want to sell fashion jewelry you can have a lot of fun doing it, get free training and have all of this taken care of for you, you can join a direct selling company like I did, Jewels by Park Lane and they send everything out to you including your paycheck."
