If you are approaching the jewelry business as a complement to your daily job, it is a great opportunity to sell your pieces at the office, maybe even ask your spouse, friends and family to offer it at their workplaces.

And to help you get started with the right foot, here are five valuable tips for selling jewelry successfully at work:

1.    Before you start offering your jewelry to your colleagues, talk to your boss about it and get the OK.  Some companies may not be as flexible as others, so you have to ensure they approve of your idea to offer your pieces there, only during lunchtime, coffee breaks, or after work.  You have to also clarify that the company will not be responsible for any loss or damage to your product.

2.    If selling jewelry at the office is not an option because of the company’s policy, you can find other ways to show your pieces to your colleagues.  You can wear your jewelry during the week and when people comment, you tell them that you sell it and offer them a business card.  Tell them that they can host a jewelry party at home, and that you can take their custom orders (talk to your jewelry wholesaler to confirm how custom orders work).

3.    If you get your boss’ OK, plan a trunk show during lunchtime or a coffee break on payday.  You can also take advantage of a special date like Christmas, Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day, to ensure you do really well.  Be it at a conference room, the cafeteria, patio, or even your car’s trunk, your show will have to be set up fast, thus, use rolls, trays and other practical containers.

4.    Allow your friends and family to offer your jewelry at their workplaces.  Ask them to tell their colleagues that they will be bringing some pieces to show around, so that everyone is expecting them.  Your friends and family can choose several pieces with specific people in mind, and make sure you provide gift boxes so that they can pack the pieces nicely and fast.  Of course, thank them by gifting them with a piece of jewelry after they sell your pieces.

5.    Always be out on the look at what others are wearing so that you identify what type of jewelry your colleagues like.
