Philadelphia art show report

Posted in News from SilverFrogJewelry studio, Thoughts of the day at 2:03 am by silverfrogjewelry

My dear friends!
I am very tired, very excited, and very happy and have many-many new ideas after last show.
Lesson#1 form last weekend: I’ve learned that I am not very good salesman (DAAH!). I started my journey with jewelry and gemstones not thinking about making money. I started this of love and passion for beautiful gems and how they can enhance beauty of people. So, I am getting carried away chatting with my clients, getting so friendly with them that it’s becoming difficult to charge them for my creation! Isn’t that ironic?! I am soo thrilled to see happy smile on somebody’s face. That’s fine, but I cannot do this all the time, I have to learn to be more business-like, perhaps? O well, at least, I can try, right?
Lesson #2: My new expensive iron shelf is not all that useful – or, may be, I did not learn how to utilize it better yet! Very possible, indeed…
Lesson #3: I have to improve my merchandise grouping and display setting skills.
I need one more earring stand – the large one, preferably…So many earrings in different styles I have -I even did not have time to take pictures and upload all of them to the web!
And one more very important thing I want to do: to change completely my labeling and packaging. My necklaces and earrings are unique and creative right? So, I want to make my packaging unique, creative, fun and cool looking as well!
So, as you see – I have lot’s of thinking to do!
Pictures from show are coming, I will post them soon, and ,please, feel free to comment!
Have a wonderful day!

How jewelry designer can survive in slow economy times

Posted in Thoughts of the day at 7:51 am by larimar

For those who are struggling now with disappearing sales at this uneasy time, my word is – use difficult times to your advantage!

Yes, your read it right and I am not crazy. People are buying much less of everything not essential to survival, so jewelry sales are not on the rise no matter of what are you trying to do. That’s why my 3-dimentional action plan for difficult times like that would be:

#1. Invest in yourself

Learn new techniques of jewelry making, improve your skills, take a training course, re-think your strategies, designs, re-structure your collection, re-do your website, learn how to take better pictures of your jewelry. Everything that you have learned – it’s yours forever, no matter of what!

#2. Network and promote

Get involved in professional groups, make new connections with fellow designers, with jewelry retailers, with manufacturers; promote yourself on internet social networks. Information can become useful in no time – good times are ahead!

#3. Volunteer

Find local charities, hospitals; give free lessons in your local community, donate some jewelry to a good cause. It’s all can turn into future sales.

 

That was my thought of the day.

If you agree with that, or even more so – if you disagree with me – please, leave your comments. I will be happy to hear from you.

Coral Pendant

Coral Pendant

I love red coral. I was so glad when I red in Harper’s BAZAAR magazine that Pendant Necklaces are in style right now! And particularly CORAL CHARMS – that what is HOT now!
So, here what I was saying and making all the time – coral pendants, coral charms, coral necklaces!
