How to create a successful handmade jewelry website to sell well; Your website visitors cannot check your jewelry in the real world. So it is essential to be as detailed as possible when writing jewelry product descriptions. What materials do you use to make your jewelry, what kind of ear wires, are they safe to wear, and do they change color? What does a buyer have to do to enjoy their jewelry longer, what maintenance is needed, and does your jewelry get scratched easily?  Let your website shopper know the size of each jewelry piece. They might be looking for larger or smaller earrings so they do not get disappointed when they receive their order. All these details will help buyers in their decision-making and they will be happy when they receive their jewelry instead of complaining and returning their purchase.

Satisfying Your Customers Emotionally

Emotions are the driving force for most buying decisions. Creating strong emotions can help build trust between you and your customers. Being friendly and honest with your customer and knowing them well will definitely help. Positive emotions are vital to having loyal customers who are more likely to recommend your company. Satisfying emotional and material needs can be achieved through the following phrases: feel attractive, fashion style and will make your day, be a trendsetter, look radiant, precisely crafted just the way you wanted, stand out from the crowd, enjoy a sense of well-being, feel a sense of freedom, feel a sense of thrill, etc. Knowing the emotional sides of your customers and letting them know what they will have by buying your handmade jewelry will help increase your sales. Most people value a  unique social identity; being seen as special, acting independently, without obligations or restrictions, feeling excitement, and living up to their ideal self-image.

Make the navigation as easy as possible for your website visitors so they will enjoy browsing your product pages and easily find the design they would buy. Designing a convenient and fun website experience is very important. People should enjoy visiting your website to be able to spend more time discovering all your creations. The longer they stay on your website the more likely that they will purchase. The buying process should be easy and trustable as well. Do your best to communicate with them in a polite and friendly manner.
