Promoting amulets sale

by edhan
11 replies
Hi

I am thinking for selective promotion for certain amulets at a special price but wondering what price discount will be attractive? Since the collection of amulets are in stock of 2 or 3, there will be limitation of sales. I am thinking of special deal for only 10 amulets, what is the best discount should I be looking at? Any advice? :confused:

      Quality of amulets are different from those being sold in eBay. So far our amulets are sold to collectors or believers who know about true amulets. Thanks! I will check the ioffer.com

        then i guess your best option is to hang out on boards and forums of people interested in your item and promote it there. you will certainly do good....

    No-one will be able to give you any reasonable figure here without knowing how much your amulets cost, what their retail price is and what margin you want from the sale.

    Only you have that information - therefore you should actually be able to answer your own question based on this!

      These amulets are paid at a higher price and being sold at a lower price. For collectors and believers who bought them know that it is an transaction that help the next person owning them. When you pay for an amulet, it is in terms of 'renting' the amulet though you do not need to return it. When someone 'rents' the amulet, it will help the person to fulfill his/her wishes and he/she can release it to someone else thereafter if he/she wants to do so.

    Hi, Edhan,

    Amulets are a very specialised market and tend to be sold by the person empowering them - is that you?

    If you are not the empowering influence, you need to be able to satisfy your market that the amulets do have the influence or power that you claim for them.

    From a believers' point of view, where are you in the chain if you are not the empowering influence? More impportantly, how do you show that the power of the amulet really does get transferred to a new posessor (from what you say, 'owner' would not be the correct word)?

    I have seen amulets sold online but they are very sorry things that are appealing only to those people who, in the natural order of things, touch wood, throw spilled salt over their shoulders or say 'white rabbits' on the first of every month.

    As for price, this is based very much upon the perceived 'influence' of the amulet empowerer. I have seen cheap cardboard disc amulets sold for hundreds of dollars by a very well know clairevoyant while those made of silver by an unknown hardly sell at any price.

    You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
    Build it, make money, then build some more
    Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!

      These amulets are from individual Thai Temples and had been blessed by high Thai monks who made them. I am also a collector and at the same time, helping some collectors to 'rent' out their amulets. We guarantee that these amulets are not factory made that cost a few dollars that are readily available in streets. I am not an expert to certify but there are experts who can do certification when needed. The buyer will need to cover the charge should they want certification from a reputate expert. I refer owner when a person 'rents' the amulet. He becomes the owner. The power cannot be measured or seen but you will have a kind of feeling. It is just like when I had a car accident witnessed by my good friend. The car had knocked me and sending me up in the air before I landed on the road. I felt nothing and checked for injuries. I had just a few cuts with no broken bones. I was taken to the hospital to do the X-rays and certified fit to discharge on the same day. The feeling of protection I got from the amulet was sensational. It cannot be describe but you can simply felt it. Only true believer knows if the amulet is meant for him/her.

    But if you're selling amulets that are just generally positive, that provide a general overall positive energy, maybe the package sale wouldn't really work.

    You may want to check out a company called Ka Gold Jewelry based in Israel that sells some fabulous amulets - the jewelry is created using sacred symbols and imbued with positive energy. These are high quality pieces crafted in gold and silver. Maybe it will give you some ideas as to pricing, etc. In this case, their customer base consists of two groups - people who just appreciate the items as beautiful jewelry; and others who also understand about how sacred amulets can carry positive energy. Perhaps you have two markets - jewelry lovers AND amulet fans?

    Every amulet has its own power based health, money, wealth, career, etc. Normally one needs only an amulet to enhance his/her life - like remove obstacle that hinders the person and changing life. Or improve romance between couples to rekindle relationship. All these amulets come with positive energy that will be bonded to the 'owner'. We believe in fate for one to possess it.

    Thanks! I will try to check out the company you have mentioned.
