My thoughts: How to diversify your beading business

Sometimes ago, I attended a seminar on how to grow my business and one of the topics discussed was diversification. This got me thinking about ways to diversify my beading business and guess what , I came to these amazing decisions and they have been very helpful.

See you below the post..

1. The need to find a niche: Creativity cannot be boxed into a corner as one of the qualities of being a creative person is that everyone and everything inspires you. Create a range of jewelry designs that suits every woman's need and budget , give them various options to choose from without losing your signature brand.

2. Create timeless pieces that keeps bringing your clients back to you. From experience,designs made with pearls, corals and gemstones are classic and timeless.

3. Sell handmade supplies, tools and findings to provide additional income.


4. Increase and maintain your online visibility using social media platforms: Instagram, twitter and owning a facebook page has increased my sales tremendously ( Believe me, it can be overwhelming, but to be on Forbes List, you have to make sacrifices...lol)

5. Attend at least 2 jewelry shows and exhibitions every month to create your brand awareness .

Hmmm, a lot can added to this list, share with us what has worked for you, it can improve our business also.

Cheers!!!!!

Girls love pearls

We are not just about selling beaded handmade jewelry, we also help with how to wear them gorgeously.

Pearls are classic and timeless, they can be worn on any outfit for that wow effect and they are simply amazing.

We designed this Pearl statement necklace for a client and she couldn't get over it....we are hoping she will send us a photo of how she wore it.

Okay ,If you are having a hard time accessorising your pearl necklace the right way?  hmmmm , not to worry, I stumbled on http://www.stylishpetite.com/2013/03/21-ways-to-wear-60-long-strand-pearl.html  and I feel it is worth sharing with you.

Hope I was able to help?

Introducing: The CRAW Collection

The CRAW collection was designed using the right angle weave which is very versatile,it gives you the liberty to manipulate your beaded necklace into various designs, shapes and so on.

This collection is all about elegance, comfort with wearing beaded jewelry on every day wear, which strikes out having to limit beaded jewelry to parties only.

Watch out!  we will be showcasing more photos from this collection later.
Cheers!!!

Love me some russian leaves .....

The first time I saw a set of russian leaf earrings, they were so lovely, I couldn't wait to make mine.

As a beginner, the technique may be quite challenging especially if you can't read beading pattern like me ...lol , but trust me, when you get a hang of it , you can make numerous designs from necklaces to bracelets and so on.

This was my first attempt....

Then I made this...

And this ......

Have fun creating amazing designs and tell us your experience. we hope to share a tutorial on this sometimes soon.

Many thanks

Rocking my brand ...

Isn't funny how I spend most of my time making beaded jewelry for women to look fabulous, yet I rarely wear any of my designs?

I was jolted to reality by a friend who asked a simple question, Funmi, how do you sell your jewelry if you dont wear them? Immediately, it dawned on me , that I should represent the brand more by wearing a piece of my jewelry designs to work everyday , as I am the first BRAND AMBASSADOR.

How do I look?
