Making a Wholesale Jewelry Catalog
An online catalog
is less expensive, but
a print catalog should be considered.
So you want to sell your jewelry? Well, selling jewelry wholesale
is a big business, and you definitely need a catalog of your offerings!
Making a catalog isnt as difficult as you might think. First,
you have two options: an online catalog or a print catalog. The
choice is yours.
Overall, an online catalog is the least expensive way to advertise
your jewelry wholesale company but with all of the online
jewelry stores and online wholesalers, it may not be the most effective
way to make sales. A print catalog should strongly be considered
for a direct mailing.
If you make your own jewelry, you will need to get good pictures
of the jewelry preferably laid on a velvet setting. Black
or blue velvet will bring out the jewelry the most. You can take
these pictures yourself with a digital camera, or have a professional
take the photographs. It is cheaper to do it yourself, of course.
Load the pictures up onto your computer, and use publishing software,
such as Microsoft Publisher to design and layout your catalog. This
may take a little time and patience, but it is much cheaper than
having someone else do it.
Since you will need hundreds, if not thousands of copies of your
catalog, your best bet will be to save the catalog on a CD and take
it to a print shop that can handle the job. This will cost money
especially since the pages need to be glossy and in color,
and the catalog will need to be bound but this expense will
be well worth it if you will be doing a mass direct mailing.
In order to do a mass direct mailing, you simply find a reputable
company who either sells mailing lists or does the mailing for you.
You can actually request lists of mailing addresses where the person
has expressed an interest in purchasing wholesale jewelry
or any other criteria that you set. In most cases, it is best to
have the company handle the mailing for you. They will get the best
rates on the mailing because they can use the bulk mail rate.
Make sure that you use a reputable printer, and a reputable direct
mail company! This is an investment in the future of your business,
and your jewelry wholesale catalog needs to be perfect in every
way and the mailing needs to go off without a hitch!
