Using a Mannequin in Your Jewelry Display

Mannequin = sales!

As prom time approached last year I began looking for a mannequin to use in my display. After a lot of searching I discovered that I can't afford one!

How disappointing . . . until I found a local costume shop that was willing to let me borrow one.

Since then I have used the mannequin in all my shows and it means SALES! I place it at the very front of my booth with an eyecatching dress (usually borrowed from a friend with a teen) and of course a beautiful piece of jewelry.

I always sell what's on the mannequin and often have to replace it with another piece. Using a mannequin is a great way to attract attention to your booth and increase sales.

(p.s. - I have seen the type of mannequin I use recently in a display catalog and they are actually pretty reasonably priced versus a full mannequin.)
