Business Planning, Bali Jewelry, Large Lots $1100…

So as to not waste your time, here are a few topics I will briefly discuss:

• Planning & Forecasting
• Bali Jewelry- Exclusives 30% Off for 2 More Days
• Large, Fancy lots of silver gem jewellery for $1100 – 3 left
• Customer Spotlight – Madison Blackstone
• New Wholesale Jewelry Arrivals – Wholesale Rings & Earrings & Pendants

Things seem to have leveled off in the past few weeks. Though business for most of us is significantly down, I am feeling that the upcoming year is more predictable than it was last month. I am taking solace in this because, maybe you will agree, the unknowns create the most anxiety and uncertainty. Based on my sales and feedback from my customers across the USA and in Canada, the UK, Australia and Europe, I am feeling confident that we will be ok. While sales are slower, they have not dropped off a cliff. My customers are reporting moving the ‘right’ products. So proper sourcing has become very important. Focus on known winners, lower price points, take fewer chances.

Whether from me or another trusted supplier, look for value. In the next month I will be adding a new line of gemchip and silver bracelets, earrings and necklaces, that I will wholesale for $2-$10. Nice, stuff, colorful, with silver, NOT tiny!

And if you have $1100 to invest now, I have another possibility for you. My artisan partner in India for the past 6 years has a huge batch of stunning earrings, rings, pendants and bracelets that he needs to sell very quickly. So I said I would take it from. I am in turn selling these pieces in 10 lots for $1140 each. I realize this is not for everyone but these are large, fancy pieces which are priced at around 25% off normal wholesale prices. You will not find a deal like this anywhere else. I have just a few lots left. Click the link below to see pics of all the items and prices (page will take a long time to load – lots of pics):

Maybe you will see a pattern here… I am looking at ways I can lower my risk exposure while bringing you some awesome deals. Here is another. On the Bali Jewelry page (http://www.wholesalegemshop.com/Products.cfm?type=BaliJewelry) for 2 days I am taking custom orders on some pretty expensive, high end, stunning bracelets, rings and earrings. The gemstones are amazing. I am having these custom made and have priced these up to 30% off the normal wholesale price. But they are still pricey! But a great value. Saturday night these items will dissapear from the site. To order just place an order as normal. For these items it will take an extra 2-3 days to reach you and min order from this page is $175.

BUY BACK PROGRAM – Do you have jewellry you have bought from me 6 months ago, a year ago?? Cannot sell it? I realize this happens. If it is in new condition and meets the criteria I will buy it back from you. Read all about it here: http://www.wholesalegemshop.com/blog/?page_id=112

I have a lot of cool customers. One of them is Madison Blackstone. She is a renowned artist in Sasket (I abbreviate b/c I have no idea how to spell it) Canada. She has a studio where she sells jewelry she gets from me. She just published a fantastic illustrated novel which is being used at every public school in Canada about Helen Osborne, a 1st Nationer from Canada. Take a look at the video of her book (yes, I know that sounds odd!) – it is on the top of my blog: http://www.wholesalegemshop.com/blog. Nice job Madison!
