Use publishing software, such as Microsoft Publisher to design and layout your catalog. This may take a little time and patience, but it is much cheaper than having someone else do it. Since you will need hundreds, if not thousands of copies of your catalog, your best bet will be to save the catalog on a CD and take it to a print shop that can handle the job.
This will cost money especially since the pages need to be glossy and in color, and the catalog will need to be bound.
But this expense will be well worth it if you will be doing a mass direct mailing.
To do a mass direct mailing, you simply find a reputable company who either sells mailing lists or does the mailing for you.
You can request lists of mailing addresses where the person has expressed an interest in purchasing wholesale jewelry or any other criteria that you set.
In most cases, it is best to have the company handle the mailing for you.
They will get the best rates on the mailing because they can use the bulk mail rate.
Make sure that you use a reputable printer, and a reputable direct mail company.
This is an investment in the future of your business, and your jewelry wholesale catalog needs to be perfect in every way, and the mailing needs to go off without a hitch.
Opening your own jewelry store has never been easier than it is now.
In fact, you can use the Internet to open your own online jewelry store and never stock a single piece of jewelry.
Your jewelry store could be open for business in less than a day and the only thing you would need to do is market it.
This is pretty much an instant business.
First, find jewelry wholesale suppliers.
If you want a truly hands-off business, find a wholesaler who will drop ship to your customers.
This way, you never have to handle any of the stock.
You get your website set up, with an online catalog of all the jewelry that you offer.
You market that website to the public.
Customers start visiting your website, and they place orders.
You forward those orders to the drop shipper, and the drop shipper handles the rest.
Most wholesalers will require you to pay for the merchandise before it is shipped.
This should not be a problem because you will require your customers to pay for their orders at the time the order is placed.
Of course, you charge more for the jewelry than the wholesaler charges you.
In most cases, you will be allowed to set your own prices.
Look to see what the wholesaler charges you, including shipping, then add 15% to 30% to that price.
This is what you should charge your customers.
If you are not sure how to go about setting up a website, you can probably find a wholesaler who will provide you with a website.
Most of these wholesalers charge a fee for the website, and your website will usually look like all their other distributors.
This should be your last option.
You may consider opening an eBay store.
There is a fee for this as well, but at least your store will be unique.
You can also bypass the eBay store and simply set up eBay auctions, which are very affordable for everyone.
Make sure that you set a minimum reserve price for the jewelry that you are selling so that you do not lose money, and make sure that the buyer pays all shipping costs and insurance.
