There is no overnight success in business; you need to build your business step by step on a solid foundation to ensure continued success.
A lot has changed over the years but the wholesale jewelry and gift shows are continuing to generate increased sales. Exhibiting at wholesale gift shows is still the best way to get your product noticed. Buyers from all over the country come to the gift shows looking for new products and suppliers. Even if you come away with just sales leads, they are targeted and with a few follow-up calls you will make the sale. You are showing your product to a targeted market that has been established for decades. People go to wholesale jewelry and gift shows to place orders and see your products first hand. Even the best photos cannot sell your product as well as you can.
Most wholesale buyers still find ordering online intimidating. At wholesale gift shows buyers see the product, touch the product and time and time again they order the product. They feel confident that they will be able to sell your products. The sale becomes more personal in a world that every day becomes more impersonal; there is nothing better than making the sale face to face. Buyers associate your product with you. The relationships that you build at the gift shows will continue for many years. New customers are referred by existing customers. There is no better compliment than word of mouth advertising.
While online marketing opens the whole world for your wholesale products, it is still very important to have a continued presence at wholesale jewelry and gift shows. The majority of your orders and re-orders will come directly from your participation in wholesale shows. Continue your online efforts to support your existing customers while at the same time work on attracting your targeted market from around the world.
