I am looking for information of handcrafted jewelry ?
Q.I am looking for information on how to market the jewelry that I make which is mostly angels. Does anyone know of any good books or other source that may be helpful. I am aware of the usual routes like craft shows, malls, consignment, etc. I am looking for info on how to sell to retail
A.- Another Usenet group that might provide an answer on retail-level marketing is misc.business.marketing.moderated. That's where the professional marketing people hang out, and the source of some really good marketing info. Also, if memory serves, there is a shop in Galena, Illinois, that sells nothing but angel-related artsy craftsy dust-collecting stuff. My wife and I stopped in when we were there this year, and that might provide an additional outlet for your pieces. Unfortunately, I don't recall the name of the place, but the Galena chamber of commerce would most likely know. -Artist's Guide to His Market, The Chamberlain, Betty Creative Cash, Brabec, Barbara How to be Successful in the Bead Jewelry Business Wilkinson, Kate Drew How to Open and Operate a Home-Based Craft Business Oberrecht, Kenn Indian Agate Beads Francis Jr., Peter Marketing Your Arts & Crafts West, Janice You Can Make Money From Your Arts & Crafts Long, Steve & Cindy
