Online bangle store

Brides and wedding guests, people buying for cultural festivals, and gift buyers. Many are in communities where bangles are worn often.

You buy stock wholesale and sell at a markup, per set or per piece. Extras like custom colour matching, gift boxes and bridal bundles lift the order value.

Startup costs are typically around $1,000 to $5,000, depending on how much stock you buy, how you set up your website or social shop, and your packaging. These are estimates, so check them against your own plans.

Monthly revenue is typically around $500 to $2,500, depending on your range, how well you reach customers and how much time you put in. The estimate starts from about 8 hours a week. Revenue is before your costs.

Check that you have an ABN and when to register for GST. Also check whether your insurance covers glass bangles broken in transit, Australian Consumer Law rules on refunds, descriptions and jewellery safety, and customs, duty and GST if you import stock.
