Selling Tips for Engraved Blanks Using Monarch Pine Products

How to Market, Package, and Present Your Jewelry for More Sales

Engraving jewelry can be incredibly rewarding—but turning that creative spark into consistent sales takes more than just beautiful designs. Whether you're selling online, at markets, or through social media, here are some practical tips to help you grow your handmade jewelry business using Monarch Pine blanks.

📣 1. Market Where Your Customers Are

The first step? Get seen.
Post your engraved pieces on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Use hashtags, share reels of your process, and talk about your products in groups (just check the rules first). Don’t forget about local markets, pop-ups, or even wholesale opportunities.

Word-of-mouth is powerful—encourage happy customers to share and tag you!

🎁 2. Level Up Your Packaging

Make your packaging feel intentional and on-brand. Consider:

Custom stamps or logo stickers

⟡ Printed jewelry cards

⟡ Engraved pouches

⟡ Tissue, ribbon, or a handwritten note

A beautiful unboxing experience not only delights your customers but encourages repeat purchases and shares.

✓ 3. Educate Customers on Materials

Customers want to know what they're buying—and why it's worth it.
Here’s what makes Monarch Pine blanks shine:

⟡ Surgical stainless steel

⟡ PVD coating for a tarnish-resistant, nonfading finish

⟡ Great for those with sensitive skin

Highlight this in your product descriptions, social media captions, and in-person conversations.

🎥 4. Show the Process

Sharing behind-the-scenes content builds trust and shows the value of your work. Record a quick video of your engraving process or post a timelapse of a finished piece. People love to see the transformation.

Bonus: It sets you apart from resellers or mass-produced shops.

📸 5. Upgrade Your Photos

Jewelry is tricky to photograph—especially engraved, reflective pieces.
Try these tips:

⟡ Use natural, diffused lighting

⟡ Avoid direct sun or harsh overhead lights

⟡ Use editing apps like Lightroom or Snapseed to sharpen your image and brighten shadows

⟡ Show scale by including a hand or coin in the shot

Photos sell your product. The more clear and professional they look, the easier it is for customers to say "yes."

⟡ 6. Offer On-Site Engraving

Do you attend events, pop-ups, or vendor markets?
Live engraving is a showstopper. People love seeing their item personalized on the spot. You can also offer your engraving services to other small businesses (think custom keychains, logo gifts, or collabs).

❋ 7. Host Engraving Parties

Jewelry engraving parties are a fun and interactive way to make sales while creating a memorable experience.
Ideas include:

⟡ Custom gift night (perfect for the holidays)

⟡ Charm bar events

⟡ Girls’ night or birthday engraving parties

They're great for building community and creating buzz around your brand.

Final Thoughts ♡

When you combine beautiful products with thoughtful presentation and intentional marketing, you’re not just selling jewelry—you’re offering something meaningful.
