Thanks so much Rena and Barbara for the tips. I will check out the two links Rena. Yes, Barbara they do take credit cards and customers are paying that way. Good point Barbara about customization. Will look more into that.

Also consider putting out a small card with your name and phone number/email address telling people you will make custom malas in personally meaningful stones and crystals. Maybe it’s that people like your stuff but they’re into whatever stone you haven’t used. Happens to me all the time.

Three weeks is not a very long time. It takes time for people to remember they can buy these items at the yoga studio. Does your studio take cash only or can they take credit/debit? It’s very possible that people would like to buy the jewellery, but don’t remember to bring sufficient cash with them.

Hi Irene, here are a few thoughts: Is the yoga studio owner displaying your jewelry very visibly there? If not, she's not likely to sell very many pieces.
