    Jewelry is for everyone girl, on your next outing pay close attention whether man , women,old , young, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, store clerk, surfer, girlfriend, boyfriend whoever, one thing they will all have in common is almost all of them will be wearing some type of adornment even if its just a ring or a single necklace. Point im making is take advantage of that and remember not all buyers have to be wearer's a lot of people purchase jewelry as a gift too. You seem to be growing and willing to make changes when necessary. Good luck on your journey and i love your jewelry style.

    you said that your first attempt at starting a jewelry business you didn't sell that much something like one piece a week or month etc. Now you have clearly defined type of customer your selling to and things have improved are you getting good amount of sales per week or is it still very sporadic?
    secondly I'd love to know how you drive traffic to your website. Do you use Facebook ads and if so how's that going or do you get all your traffic from your instagram account? Be good to make a video on this.

    • @sophiamyambala1405
      @sophiamyambala1405 2 роки тому +1

      Hope it’s not too late to say that but just use a good mobile phone camera to start out. There are loads of apps that you can use to edit the pictures, or hire a photographer. I saw a post from a famous photographer that said there is no point getting a good camera if you don’t know how to use it as the photos will come out worse because you won’t be able to make the most of all the special features. So better to get really good with your phone and apps then slowly upgrade as your business does better. If your phone camera is good, then your customers won’t know the difference.
