The information in this article is predicated on 2 assumptions: That you've one or more beading projects you would like to make profitable, and that you have some level of inventory at the prepared for when sales begin coming in. If that's you, then this article will outline severa avenues open to you for "passively marketing" bead craft ideas .

Note that passive marketing doesn't mean "no work required," or "you do not have to talk to anyone." Rather, it means that the bigger bulk of the work occurs on the "front end" and that once the work is concluded, your passive marketing efforts will continue more or less on their own, indefinitely, with only smallest added effort on your part.

This is important for you as a bead crafter since it frees up more of your time, which you can dedicate to your current beading projects, or, if you feel you are ready for it, develop wholly new beading projects to enlarge your line.

We will cover two examples of passive marketing. One, advertising your finished beading projects locally, and the other, advertising them globally.

Among the very finest ways to market your bead craft ideas locally is via consignment. Here, your purpose is to show your line to people with a recognized business and ask if they'll display and sell your products in exchange for a portion of the profits. This works to your advantage on a many levels. First, the established business already has regular buyers you can make sales from. Furthermore, most will allow you to display your business cards next to your wares, so if a patron likes what you produce, their next order may be made direct from you. Also, once you have an existing relationship of this sort, it's normally easy to introduce new products to your display as you expand the number of beading projects in your line.

The key here's not to limit yourself to only one or two such relationships, but to seek to engage as many sources as you can keep supplied. Not just does this boost your publicity, but it also allows you to see how various shops handle your products, and you can use this information to see where your products sell the best, then try to gain a similar in-store position at other stores carrying your line. If your beading projects are focused on necklaces/bracelets, you may certainly be drawn to locally owned jewelry stores in your town, but I recommend you to think outside the box here! Hospital gift stores, gift shops in retirement homes and old fashioned country shops are all great pleases to inquire, as are general gift stores and specialty shops such as Hallmark, and any place that caters to local artists!

Considering the global market, the extremely best thing you can do to advertise your projects is niche internet marketing. There are dozens of books on this topic, and it's beyond the scope of this article to completely explore the process, but in broad strokes, what you need to do in order to market your beading projects in this form are:

1) Identify keywords describing your beading projects that get a few daily searches (10-30 per day) and have minimal competition (under 50k).

2) Design a niche website around these keywords to drive traffic to your page

3) Describe what you are offering. These descriptions should be mixed in with original content on your site

4) Offer would be clients a means of contacting you

5) Offer them a means to buy from you online

Again, the great thing about passive marketing is that once the primary work is done, your bead craft ideas get exposure day in, and day out with very little effort on your part.
