Thinking of starting a crystal business? Well if you’re a fan of social media, you’ll likely see an abundance of online shops and stores that have taken advantage of the digital world to set up a business themselves.
With business creation being a lot easier than it once was, many businesses find themselves up against some tough competition. As a company, it’s important to source the very best from suppliers and to be the best. Here are some top tips that will help you find the best suppliers for a crystal business this year and beyond.
Do some serious research online
If you’re looking to source some of the best crystals out there, it’s essential to do the research online too. Whether you’re new to selling crystals or you have some knowledge but have no clue about buying them from wholesalers, some research is required.
For those just starting out in the crystal business, it’s worth taking a look at what’s out there and assessing the market for competition. This can be helpful in finding your niche. Perhaps you’ll sell very few crystal types or perhaps you’ll provide one of the largest catalogues of crystals available on the net.
Standing out is important, so do the research to know what’s what!
Venture onto social media for guidance
Social media can be very helpful in seeing what crystals are popular and what are more sought after but harder to get. Those that are harder to get are likely going to be the ones that will drive success for your business.
Take a look at social media platforms from Etsy to Facebook and Instagram to get some useful inspiration and ideas on what you need to buy.
Look for legitimacy in the wholesaler or supplier
When it comes to suppliers, you want to look for legitimacy and reputation. Are they set up as a proper business? Do they have all the relevant insurances, and legalities in place that show they’re the real deal?
Legitimacy is important because you don’t want to find out your Preciosa crystals aren’t real. That’s not going to do any favours when trying to secure new customers either!
Get evidence such as detailed photos or videos
When you’re choosing a supplier, a good way of making sure you’re getting what you pay for is by asking for photos and videos. This evidence is important because it will be able to guarantee that what they’re providing is legitimate. No legitimate supplier will have a problem with this and if they do, then it’s a red flag to back out.
Compare costs
When shopping for suppliers, it’s important to scour the internet for different options. It’s good to compare costs because that way, you’ll be able to get the best price for your money.
Creating a crystal business is exciting and can bring a lot of joy to customers who shop with you. Use these tips to make sure you can provide the best products for your customers.
