Home Based Jewelry Business

Archive for April, 2009

Hostess rewards are great tools for marketing your home based Jewelry Business. If you run a home based Jewelry Business, you may be restricted by your budget of how much you can spend advertising and marketing. Most new home based jewelers find it more profitable to share revenue based on performance.

How does a hostess reward work?

Network marketing jewelry businesses have been taking advantage of home shows and having hostesses for a long time. Finding people who are willing to become hostesses for your jewelry business and earn free jewelry and other hostess rewards will help you get the words out and advertise.

What to give as hostess rewards?

Different jewelry businesses offer different hostess rewards. Some are free jewelry whereas others are free credit or prizes or even monetary rewards. Examples of hostess rewards are given below:

Cash or Credit for Free Jewelry

You can offer your hostess credit towards buying some jewelry with you. How much of the hostess credit you offer should depend on how much sales is generated at the home show or by your hostess. Basically, your hostess helps you sell your jewelry and you reward her with free jewelry.

Discounts

Instead of giving credit or free jewelry, you can offer discounts as hostess rewards. You can even offer discounts on top of the free jewelry hostess rewards. 20%, 30% and 50% discounts are common. The higher the sales initiated and brought to you by your hostess, the higher the discounts.

Booking Incentives

If you find that giving away hostess benefits or rewards is profitable for your Home Based Jewelry Business, then you want to recruit as many hostesses as possible. You could offer a referral program where an existing hostess will get even more hostess benefits or rewards by referring a friend to become a hostess too.
