Making useful household items is a really fun hobby.
But did you know that you can earn good money if you sell your handmade mugs and handmade glasses? These things make good gifts and decorations aside from being functional.
So, you can be sure that people will buy your goods.
First, you can try selling them from your home.
If you only have a few pieces, you can use your garage or yard.
Sell your handmade mugs to your neighbors.
They may even find your handmade glasses unique and advertise about them to friends.
You can sell your handmade mugs and handmade glasses at parties, as well.
You can ask permission from friends if you can sell your goods at their parties or you can have your own.
Invite neighbors, friends, and acquaintances over to your place and show them your collection.
Then, you can also sell at fairs, flea markets, and business mixers.
Do not forget to print out business cards, though.
In these places, plenty of people arrive to buy things like handmade glasses and handmade mugs.
If they fancy your items, they might be regular customers.
So, you must hand each of them your business card.
Also, you can ask for their names and contact information such as e-mail address.
This way, you can notify them if ever you have a new design.
If you have time to make more handmade mugs and handmade glasses, you can try selling at your local boutique.
Since you have enough stock, supplying will not be a problem.
Then again, this will entail the involvement of a middleman so you might be asked to lower your prices.
You will also receive lower cash returns.
The good side of this, though, is that you will be able to sell your handmade mugs and handmade glasses in bulk.
So, you can have the money immediately.
Nonetheless, you can always sell your handmade mugs and handmade glasses online.
This option is actually the easiest and the simplest.
It is also the most convenient since you will just be using a computer to transact with customers.
You can build a website if you know how to.
This will save you money since you will not have to pay somebody else to do it for you.
Also, you will not need to pay fees unlike when you sell on sites like Etsy and eBay.
But if you prefer these sites, you can have more customers because thousands of online buyers visit them everyday.
Furthermore, you can use social networking sites such as Facebook and Multiply to market your handmade glasses and handmade mugs.
These sites are free to join and easy to maintain.
You just have to log in daily to check any orders.
