Make a Plan
Most of the time when Laryssa advises a jewelry designer who feels stuck, it’s because they don’t have a plan.
They’re flying by the seat of their pants and wondering why they’ve run out of momentum. It’s not a fun place to be.
Laryssa recommends getting ahead of yourself. Try to brainstorm marketing ideas for 3-6 months out.
Even if you change course, you’ll still have a baseline marketing plan in place that makes pivoting easier.
Step Outside Your Industry
The jewelry industry can be pretty insular.
If you’re just looking at other jewelry brands for inspiration, which is common mistake designers make, your brand is going to start looking like all the rest.
Try to think outside the box and look at other industries for inspiration, such as beauty, lifestyle, home goods, fashion, etc.
You’ll never know what’s out there until you cast a wider net.
Listen to Your Customers
“The customer is always right” is an old adage, but it still rings true when it comes to marketing.
Your customer has as much to offer you as you have to offer them. After all, they’re the ones who will be buying your products.
