Sounds good to me

Already selling jewellery on ebay/Amazon so know some of what's selling but well open to other niches within this massive market!

Selling some wood on ebay/Amazon as well.

Hot sheets could easily be sold on regular sites (like the magick in another thread) - saves creating a website as the hungry crowd is likely already there & buying Kindle books for instance.

I'm sure you know this, but the thought has to go toward the buyer...but #1 is the GIFT market, people buying for other people; graduation, birthdays, anniversary, special occasions

But as the GIFT giver is shopping, what are you (the general you jewellry seller) doing to grab the gift buyers attention? And what does every one want?

Your graduate will wear this with pride and have a touchstone to your heart.

Or, add the EMOTION of gift giving in the promotion, see if every piece you offer even brief explanations, include the emotional reward of giving a memorable and appreciated gift.

Lucky charms lead the way, cause who doesn't want to give someone a gift of luck?

Many thanks Gordon - am mentioning the gift possibilities but need to change the wording so it's got more emotion in it.

And had already started adding lucky items to my stock after you mentioned them elsewhere. Thanks again!

Default A suggestion, without knowing anything at all...

Wherever your visitors or shoppers come from, I would advise they see a BINARY choice, so for example, you have a pair of diamond earrings for sale, when your shopper first lands, maybe something like a button that says GIFT BUYERS SPECIAL, and the difference may be gift wrapping, or something like that. But when they click on that link, or scroll down, you can have the description (promotion) more slanted toward that buyer.

So, the earrings could be bought for self use, and the description would highlight compliments, how they make you feel, whereas the gift wrapping package would say things like life lasting memories and gratitude.

Small subtle changes, but it could increase sales for all items when approached like this.

Thanks Gordon.

Not sure if I can do that on ebay or Amazon but I can certainly add extra bits into the sales blurb so will work on that!

An

Attention Gift Shoppers, See Special Below*

Or something like that. Just a little extra, hopefully, will make a difference.
