Bead weaving has become a popular and common hobby as it is fairly easy to learn and the results are often true works of art. Some masters turn this uncomplicated hobby into a source of permanent and fairly good income.
Beaded jewelry almost never went out of fashion, since at all times there were styles and directions in which such accessories looked harmonious and natural. Accordingly, the demand for beadwork is also quite constant, which allows you to be sure that the study of beadwork will not become a waste of time in a few years.
The main advantage of designer beaded jewelry is its originality. Beading is very popular, so you will need to spend a lot of time finding your own unique style that will make you stand out from the competition. If you have already found your niche and know how to weave not only banal baubles and simple bracelets, then you can start an advertising campaign to promote your work.
The most convenient option, of course, are the various handicraft fairs that are held in your city. Here you can not only declare yourself, but also sell your first works, which will make you feel like a real professional. This feeling is very important, as it will make you take your hobby more seriously and responsibly. Moreover, such fairs are an excellent opportunity to assess the level of work of competitors.
If the nearest fair is not coming soon, and a lot of jewelry has accumulated, you can try to show them to friends and colleagues at work or study. Naturally, in this case, you will have to make significant discounts, but on the other hand, there is a great chance that people will recommend you to their friends, which means that the potential sales market will increase.
Social media can be a great way to showcase your work to a lot of people. Better to create a dedicated group or community dedicated entirely to your beading. It is highly advisable to take good photographs of the work, as well as take care of the promotion of the group on the network. Do not hesitate to ask your friends and acquaintances to put a link to the page of your group, so you will quickly gain the required number of subscribers who can become customers. Think over a system for delivering jewelry to other cities and methods of payment.
It is very important not to be satisfied with what has already been achieved, even if it seems to you that you have already achieved success and recognition. Constantly improve your skills, look for new opportunities for selling ready-made jewelry and finding customers. For example, you can advertise your products at themed festivals, participate in exhibitions, and meet the sellers of specialty stores. Any business needs development, and the sale of beaded products is no exception.
