Packaging is the icing on the cake when it comes to jewelry sales.

Dawn Woodward makes lovely, custom-sized gift bags for her jewelry.  She says:

"I want to give my customers something different, something indulgent and unique when it comes to a paper bag to wrap their jewellery purchase in.

"I'm going to share with you how I make a bag like this in just 5 minutes (Yes, FIVE!) - and how they can help to increase your jewellery sales."

See Dawn's lovely gift bags - and her instructions for making them - in her article, Gorgeous Paper Gift Bags to Make…and Wow Your Customers.

A reader named Swedie adds this tip:

"As an addition to the gift bag article:  If they want to have their own company name on the bag, they can design a rubber stamp to have made, or they can have small or large stickers made to attach to the bag."

Discouraged by commercially-available jewelry packaging options, Anna Badger decided there must be a better alternative.

"Then, several versions of handmade / homemade marketing materials caught my attention," she says.

"Voila!  I could create memorable hangtags with thick paper, ink, rubber stamps, and a theme."

And that's exactly what she did.

This article includes her how-to's and lots of photos.
