TIPS:

Do Your Research: Do thorough research about the marketplace on which you want to sell jewellery online.

Make a list of top-performing brands and study them. Have a look at the type of merchandise they sell, their return/exchange policy, the way they have written their product content, and displayed pictures.

This will help you to optimize your listing according to the industry standard.

You should also research the payment cycle of a particular marketplace that is, how many days will it take to transfer the amount of a particular sale in your bank account.

Such factors may not seem important now but trust me, they should not be ignored (at any cost). Thorough marketplace research will make things easier for you.

Inventory Management: Inventory management is one of the most important (and difficult) aspects of selling jewellery online.

You should have a clear idea about your inventory management- the number of designs and their quantity, restocking, managing the damaged or defected products.

Trust me, if you’re not sorted inventory wise, it will only create problems for you.

Therefore, do your research work properly because it will help you to execute your plan smoothly.
