Hang Tags for Your Jewelry
Putting hanging tags on your home-made jewelry is a great way of showing your effort at making them, whether they are for selling or for giving to friends. You can put the name of your business, your full name as its owner, contact information, and other important details. This is one good technique for a potential buyer to contact you easily. Some hang tags that are commonly used are business cards, rubber stamps, computer cards, and printed basic cards. If you also sell jewelry supplies like handmade glass beads then put all the beads in a packet and tie your tag to the packet, that way you can still give your contact details to your customers. As a start up jewelry business finding a good sales rep may not be a concern at the moment for you due to budget issues, so at this stage hang tags are your sales representative. If budget is an issue they don’t have to be fancy as long as you are getting you name out there as a jeweler.
Hang tag business cards are commonly used by beginners not just in the jeweler’s field but also in some other fields of small businesses. You can create your own hang tag business card by cutting a thick card stock into whatever shape you wish to create. Paste your business card on top of the card and use needles to punch a hole. Some crafters punch holes directly through their business cards and hang the jewelry from them. This is a good money saving tip in customizing your small business.
Another option is to use rubber stamps. If you want to hang your home-made finished earrings from this rubber stamp, you can use a straight pin to punch holes through them. There are some very nice stamps that have different designs. However, be careful when using stamps to add designs on your tags because there are now lots of stamps that have copyright restrictions. But, of course there are still those that you can use for free.
You can also use your computer to create a card from a word program. You will need some perforated business card paper. You can choose from a large assortment of designs and colors. Just follow the instructions on your word processing program when printing out the cards.
If you want to make your work easier and faster, you can try the printed basic cards. Just go to the nearest printing press and have your next group of cards printed. However, before going there and having your cards printed, make sure that you have included all the necessary information to prevent any delay.
Far too many people worry about how to overcome the downside of selling handmade crafts, the major downside for most people is that they don’t get enough sales to continue their business; hang tags are a cheap effective way of ensuring new and repeat customers.
