Work Your Way Through School Selling Wholesale Jewelry
Students want cash and student jobs are depressingly low-paying. It’s hard enough to schedule classes, studies, and social life without having to make time for work. Part-time jobs shave considerable hours from your day that could be otherwise spent on class work, campus parties, or a multitude of other enjoyable and stimulating things. By the same token, it’s makes sense not to accrue too much in student loans. The question is now what to do for cash. Look into the possibility of working your way through university marketing wholesale jewelry.
With a few hundred bucks to get started, you can purchase jewelry on the Internet at ridiculously discounted prices. You are familiar with your friends and their tastes. You know what’s hot on campus. The only thing you have to do is chose the sort of jewelry your friends will buy, or want to wear, but can’t pay the price for. You’ll become the broker who helps everyone get what they covet.
Advertise at school and in coed hot spots to let the world know you’re in business. Talk up your business and model the jewelry you buy so everyone can see the merchandise firsthand. Get low cost business cards and encourage others to come to your dorm or apartment and check out your offerings.
You can offer wholesale jewelry at a sizable markup and still ask quite a bit less than bargain stores and flea markets. You’ll be helping your peers to get some bling they may not otherwise be able to afford. Once word gets around, your jewelry will sell itself.
If you want this to succeed, you’ll have to honor it like you would any other job. After you earn back your initial outlay, reinvest it immediately in your business. Buy more wholesale jewelry so your supply won’t run low. Your earning minus expenses are your salary. Be certain to stash receipts and records of your earnings and costs so you can track your progress.
If you’re majoring in business or economics, selling wholesale jewelry on campus will provide you with in-depth on-the-job experience in all phases of business management, accounting, sales, advertising, and marketing. You can reference the business on your resume and have something with which to interest potential employers before you even graduate. Being in business for yourself and making money in it is much more impressive than washing dishes, waiting tables, or working in a video store.
