Focus
Hi,Iv looked and can't see any other appropriate areas that would answer my question.
I'm currently in the process of setting up my one time hobby as a bussines, my question is this, my area of expertise and skills lay in many areas of Jewelley making, but I'm wondering is it better to specialise in one area such as boho or gypsy types of jewellery or offer all different types ie tension rings, wooden inlay, Celtic,ect.
Thanks for your help in advance, I might be making lots of posts and posing questions or the next few months-years lol

My instinct is to offer a variety of designs and not to specialise until you see what sells for you. Even so to keep customers returning you need to offer new designs each season. Dennis.

Thank you Dennis I'll take on board you advise

I would agree, unfortunately if you want to sell work you have to a certain extent try and meet the varied tastes of your customers. Having said that if you have a specific market in mind, perhaps Glastonbury, then the types of jewellery you are suggesting would probably sell well. It depends where and how you intend to sell, who your targeted market is

But isn't that like which comes first the jewellery to fit the type of target customer of the customer to fit the type of jewellery. When I look at the small independent jewellers online they tend to focus on one area.

It depends how long you have been in business. You will find that small independent online jewellers have probably been doing the job for a long time and have got to the enviable stage of knowing where their niche market is, either that or sales aren't an issue and they are choosing to make what makes them happy and they don't have to worry about sales.
Most of us starting out made a cheap and cheerful range as well as some more expensive and then you move on
