Description
Have you been thinking about getting your jewelry into stores but feel overwhelmed by wholesale, consignment, and inventory management? You’re not alone.

We dive deep into red flags to watch for when working with stores, common mistakes handmade jewelry businesses make when wholesaling, and how to price your pieces so wholesale actually grows your revenue instead of draining your energy.
