How to Start a Jewelry Sales Business
Given that Wal-Mart has
a stranglehold on 5% of all jewelry sales, and the four largest
chains/retailers together hold only 17%, is there a future in starting
a home jewelry sales business? The answer is a most emphatic, yes!
In a market where sales growth has slowed steadily over the last
four years, people are looking for the best buys possible for those
luxury items like watches, pins, brooches, earrings, and necklace
sets. Those can often be had from a home jewelry business for several
reasons.
Most jewelry business operated from home are sole proprietorships,
with one person the only "employee". When your home is
your office, there is no expensive overhead, although you can make
deductions on your income tax for certain expenses. This allows
entrepreneurs to buy higher quality items that can be offered for
lower prices than in retail stores.
To start up a business on your own can be prohibitively expensive
if you must buy and keep on hand, a certain amount of stock. Most
home jewelry sales businesses are operated as part of the network
for established companies. This can be in one of many forms, with
individual consultants receiving a given percentage commission on
each item sold, with a variety of incentive and bonus plans. Products
are displayed and ordered by your customers at home showings or
"parties", where they are free to choose whatever attracts
them from your selection of samples and catalogues.
