I am working on getting my products and info into my website, but, have problem with the magnetic jewelry turning into a jumble when packaged and shipped. I have tried using a card but still magnetizes to itself. Any ideas?

In reply to Ann Nolen. Ann, thanks for sharing your great idea for paper shopping bags pre-loaded with a postcard! That makes a lot of sense.

Great ideas here that I may use too. Wanted to add that when I do a show I use flat paper bags for jewelry items bought (jewelry already in organza bags). I preload the flat bags with a postcard with a photo of my jewelry on one side & a short bio on the other. Makes checkout fast & customers tell me they love giving the postcard with the gift so they know who made it & the art process used.

Dear Tara – but if you keep that professional look you are striving for, by adding, and your sales increase, You’ve actually gained and not “lost the few dollars in supply costs!” …just a thought! P.S.: Your work is spectacular! Gr8t luck to you….

Thank you for your helpful suggestions, everyone. After much thought on this topic, I have decided to pre-fill each large box (bracelet & necklace) with a card. This way, I will at least get the customer home with a professional looking product, and if I lose a few dollars in supply costs in the process, I think it is totally worth it.

Thanks again!

Could you put some type of stuffing into the boxes so the jewellery doesn’t slide around – something similar to the cotton “fluff” in boxes of boughten jewellery? You can order boxes with that already in it on the internet, or maybe you can come up with something to put in the boxes you already have – like some type of fiberfil, even folded pieces of material or something. You could buy a remnant of velvet or some other material that matches the rest of your things.

I use small tags for pricing which I clip off when I sell the item. The tag has the price on one side and an inventory number on the other. This gives me information to update my inventory after the show. I also have a business card holder with my cards in it to add to each package. It only takes minute to “clip and slip” when checking out my customers. I usually have enough time to do this while the credit card is processing.

If you definitely want a card in the box, would it be too complicated to place cards in half the boxes, then keep them in separate places so you’ll know to reach for a pre-carded bracelet/necklace box or an empty earring box? I know things get crazy at a show and more streamlining is better, but this seems like the simplest solution, and one that probably wouldn’t get too terribly confusing.
