One of the ways to make sure you are buying your beads for the right price and selling your handcrafted jewelry or for the proper charge is by using a sophisticated method to keep track of your expenditures and profit margins with specialized beaded jewelry software.

By measuring how much you spend on your beads you can use this jewelry software to not only automatically figure out your cost-per-bead for you but you can also keep track of bead sales and even keep track of of the vendors with the lowest price for specific beads you use often!

There are lots of handcrafted bead jewelry software packages available, but only a few of them are specially designed to handle the inventory problems that come with having a lot of beads and making a lot of different pieces of jewelry.  Some jewelry software programs are very expensive and have lots of features and some are fairly inexpensive but lack some of the more useful features you may need.  When you’re shopping for jewelry software always try to see if you can see photos of what the screens look like or even try to see a video demonstration of the software being used.

One of the most widely used and yet still affordable options is Bead Manager Pro, which has all of the features a home-based handcrafted jewelry business should need for quite some time.

Here are some of the things you can do with Bead Manager Pro:

Track Bead Inventory and Jewelry Supplies Instantly: Being able to keep track of what you have and what you need is essential when you’re trying to run an efficient jewelry business from your home.  You can enter all the beads you have in stock or just the important ones to your inventory over time.  Either way you can quickly determine if you have all the beads you need to build a certain piece of jewelry at any given time.

Help With Pricing Your Jewelry So You’re Profitable: Once you have your beads entered into the inventory system you can use Bead Manager Pro to “build” a piece of jewelry and tell it exactly how many of each piece you’re using.  Bead Manager Pro will then offer you some different pricing structures based on your selling situation.  No more guessing if you’re making money or not!

Ability to Create Professional Invoices: Don’t sell your beautiful handcrafted jewelry with a little carbon paper receipt that looks like it was scribbled on!  Set a professional tone by printing invoices that clearly have your contact information so that your customers can later call you up or visit your website if they want to buy more of your jewelry!

Export Data: Bead Manager Pro can even export its data so that you can use the data in other programs if you wish.  The data export is exported in a standard format that can be read or used in programs like Microsoft Excel and Word.

Bead Manager Pro is used by a lot of professionals and it’s a great way to start growing your handcrafted beaded jewelry hobby into a profitable business!
