Photography
You need to get your pieces in front of the buyers somehow! Putting in a little extra work to have fantastic photos of every piece you design is essential.
You want to accurately represent your brand. White backgrounds are great because they make your designs stand out. Include detailed line sheets for buyers as well.
Do Your Research
Not all stores are looking for OOAK designs. Make sure you understand what type of jewelry they already sell so you can complement their current selection.
Spend your time pursuing accounts that are actively looking for OOAK, because they are out there! OOAK has become more and more important to customers.
Refine your Story
The why behind your brand is so important in OOAK. Facts tell, stories sell! Having your story nailed down helps you sell to the store, but also helps the store sell to the end customer!
The stronger the story, the stronger the connection you can have with clients. Go deeper than just where you learned to make jewelry, really get personal with why you do this for a living.
