Marketing Hand-crafted Jewelry

Intuit Websites

If you were in my shoes, how would you market a hand-crafted jewelry business? We sell pre-made items and sell a lot of custom made orders; I'm not quite sure how to market the product with optimal results.

Hi Paradisetrio,

Jewelry is defintely a tough market to get into. The biggest suggestion I can give is try and find some very niche phrases to go after.

A great program to help you with this is Google Adwords Keyword Tool. It's a free program that will let you know how often someone types in a keyword phrase. Start with general searches and work your way down. Ex.

Jewelry --> Handcrafted Jewelry --> Handcrafted Pearl Jewelry --> Handcrafted Pearl Necklace --> Handcrafted Crystazzi Pearl Necklace

Right there you have gone all the way down into a very specific category and eliminated 90% of the competition online. It's always better to start with these very niche keywords to get your site out there and slowly work up to more competitive phrases.

Hope that helps,

 

Please help me improve my performance by answering a short survey that will be emailed to you from the community.

I also recommend putting those keywords in your metatags on your webpage to improve search engine results.

Additionally, I recommend checking out sites geared towards that type of thing like etsy.com.  This is a site for people to sell and market handmade items - jewelry,clothes, etc.  Many people know about etsy and go there specifically looking for handmade items.

Mmmm Tax! So delicious!
