It is important that when you are choosing a business for you to launch, it is something that you are passionate about. When you look over your plans you are motivated and inspired by your own work and what you intend to do.

Passion can be the biggest driving force behind you achieving your dreams. Passion and hard work of course.

Most people who are hoping to launch a business online will turn to provide services and courses, but if you want something a little more concrete then an online jewelry store can be the perfect thing.

The online jewelry market was worth a huge $230 billion in 2020 and that is expected to rise to a whopping $292 billion by 2025.

Who wouldn’t want to get in on that market?

Identify the market

Luckily there is plenty of research available when it comes to what consumers are buying - and you can make use of it. Buying reports can be costly, but they can help you to align yourself with a type of jewelry that you want to sell and people want to buy.

You should also decide if you want to position yourself as an affordable, high-end, or middle market. You can source suppliers and manufacturers that will meet those requirements.

Audience

Your audience will be defined by the type of jewelry you want to sell. But you should make sure that you consider all of the demographics and needs of your audience. Are they looking for something specific? Will they be distinguishing between 14k vs 18k gold?

Or are they going to be looking for high-quality, low-cost options?

To compete in a fast-paced and busy market like the jewelry market, you need to keep in mind your niche and what you want to offer them that is unique.

Make or buy?

Most people who want to launch a jewelry store online will hope to make their goods and sell them. It is one of the most creative and enjoyable parts of this career decision.

However, there is also the option that you would prefer to source your jewelry, curate your offerings and sell it for a markup.

When making your jewelry, you need to make sure that you factor in your material costs and the time it takes to make each piece. You may also consider a hybrid approach and have a combination of your handmade pieces and some manufactured pieces available.

The latter can relieve some of the pressure that creating your pieces at volume may bring.

When choosing a supplier, always ask for samples to see the quality. You may need to try out several suppliers before finding the right match.

Branding

The key to selling the jewelry will be creating a solid brand that people want to be involved in. Strong branding is one of the most important ways to build a loyal customer base.
