Webhosting for a Jewelry Business

pageBuzz.com has always been a popular platform for building Jewelry websites. Almost from the day we opened we had a huge percentage of customers that created handmade jewelry that were trying to sell on sites like ebay.

Of course the creation of craftersbuzz.com did not hurt either since we had thousands of jewelers advertising their jewelry on that site as well.

Some of our jewelers are simply resellers, others are wholesalers and some have very unique had made one of a kind products.

We host full scale jewelry retailers that have multiple shops in shopping malls and smaller jewelers that have one location as well as the home based jewelers that frequent flea markets and craft shows.

Having worked with all of these jewelers one and one as they built their website has helped us create the tools they needed to sell their jewelry.

For the wholesale jewelers we have bulk discounts. so the people resell their products can get discounts based on volumes ordered. For example, they can price the first 100 items at $5 each and the second 100 items at $4 each or set over 1000 at $3 each.

We also have the group discounts which allows merchants to group similar priced items into larger groups. For example look at the dollar stores where everything is a dollar. If you grouped similar priced items, earrings, tongue rings, body jewelry that have the same price, you can extend those discounts to all the items.

In that case, someone could order 25 earnings, 50 tongue rings and 25 belly rings and get the 100 quantity pricing. Sort of a mix and match approach.

We also have the cart set up to allow wholesale pricing which allows your regular wholesalers to login and see and pay different prices than the retail customers.

The wholesale pricing extends through the options and discount groups and can be set up as a percentage off or set prices on each item.

These are powerful tools for jewelery wholesalers that are not typically found in smaller less expensive shopping carts, but that are standard features in the pageBuzz online stores.

Of course in our price range most of the jewelers are smaller and either offer expensive high end one of a kind items from retail shops or sell less expensive handmade one of a kind jewelry from local events, fairs and craft shows. In both cases, using the inventory control feature is valuable because it allows limited quantities to be sold.

So if there is only one item, when that item is purchased it will deduct the item from inventory and prevent another buyer from buying the item.

Most of these features were created specifically for jewelers because most retailers just don't need them. But with a huge base of jewelers we have been able to see what they needed, mostly because they told us directly, and create those tools in the shopping cart ecommerce tools.

Now that did not happen overnight. Developing some of the tools took hundreds of hours of programming and were only cost effective because we had such a large user base. That is the reason most ecommerce options don't have those features and the ones that do are 10 times the cost of pageBuzz and our $20 a month price.

But I think more importantly that just having the tools jewelers need we have the support they need.

Since jewelers are good at making jewelry they are not usually website builders or graphic designers. In many cases, they are completely lost when it comes to running a shopping cart and building pages to market their products.

So having people like us on the other end of the phone who have worked on hundreds of not thousands of website for jewelers is priceless.

We know what they need, what they want and what they are trying to do, even if they don't know themselves.

Now, we don't limit our customers to just jewelry websites, because we are a full service web hosting provider but we do have a lot of experience in their market and can provide a unique insight into their online stores.

Jewelry websites have always been a great source of income for our company, so we have been fortunate in being able to cater to that market and grow the base even further.

Not that we set up from day one to corner the jewelry website hosting market, but sometimes it just works out that way.

Having limits of 2500 total products in the shopping cart also makes pageBuzz a bad choice for large retailers with many thousand items and we did that intentionally to keep the cost of our server as low as possible. But in doing that, we limited our market to companies that have small product lines.

Jewelers have small product lines and can work with smaller inventory limits online. So it was just a good match and everyone like saving money. So why buy a $300/month shopping cart when you can get one for $20/month.

pageBuzz is a logical choice for small jewelers websites for all those reasons and more. If you are considering building a jewelery website either just a catalog of products or with complete commerce give us a call and see if we have what you are after.
