Building a business takes courage.
I’ve seen designers try to do the same thing over and over again expecting things to be different because they’re afraid of what might happen if they try something new.
The monotony is familiar and safe, but ultimately flatlines your business.
To be a successful jewelry designer, you must find the courage to put yourself out there, try new things, and most importantly, ask for help.
The Flourish & Thrive community is filled with brave designers who have done just that, and their businesses are taking off. Today, I want to celebrate them.
I wish I could say the jewelry market isn’t saturated, but let’s be honest… it is.
But I’m not telling you this to discourage you. On the contrary, you need to know that it takes consistent strategy and effort to make your brand stand out!
Truth bomb: It is possible to distinguish yourself among the crowd! With the right strategy.
Let’s talk about what designers just like YOU are doing to make their brand stand out in this saturated market.
The jewelry industry can be notoriously secretive. In a true demonstration of #CommunityOverCompetition, Metalsmith Society is trying to change that.
Just as Flourish & Thrive Academy has created a supportive space for jewelers to learn about business, Corkie Bolton has established a vibrant community where jewelers can share techniques, ask questions, and exchange ideas.
Corkie came on the show today to discuss some of the questions she hears most from jewelers in the Metalsmith Society. Such as, “How do I price my jewelry?” and “Should I sell on Etsy?”
With our powers combined, we were able to come up with some answers.
Let’s start the new decade off with a challenge!
I love January (even though it’s a slow month for us designers) because it’s an opportunity for a fresh start. Time to refresh your mindset, fast-track your sales, and create a repeatable sales system that you can use all year long.
