Statues are a great addition to your product mix. Statuary offers a unique selling point with its wide range of price points, from as low as $5 to as high as $150 and up. This variety allows you to cater to customers with different budgets, increasing your potential customer base. Most statues are made of resin, but the hand-carved teak pieces, though slightly more expensive, offer a unique touch to your offerings, attracting customers looking for something special. Consider stocking diverse statues, focusing on the mid-price range of $60 or less, as these tend to sell more quickly.
Animals
Animals like cats, frogs, elephants, and owls are collectibles and are popular for gift ideas. Gemstone animals come in many choices. From miniatures to larger statues, they come in amethyst, green aventurine, jade, malachite, and many other minerals. The miniatures are favorites for children, though adults gravitate to the little gemstone carvings of animals just as much. Many people have experienced the animal kingdom through cartoons and comics. As adults, customers want to connect with their animal totem for self-empowerment. For example, a rose quartz cat can represent comfort, flexibility, and love, while a tiger’s eye owl represents paying attention so you can see, hear, and know while feeling protected and safe.
The Garden
Garden statuary is another good cross-sell, especially in the spring and summer when people spend more time outdoors. Dragons and fairies are favorites. Most of these statues are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Dragons symbolize good fortune, power, and strength—some the placement of a dragon as a feng shui cure. A fairy statue can help you remember to step outside and connect with the forces of nature.
Eastern Influences
Deity statues from Buddhist and Hindu traditions are not just popular but perennial favorites. For instance, the Buddha meditating statue is a consistent best-seller, symbolizing peace and tranquility. The elephant-headed deity Ganesha is highly sought-after as the Destroyer of Obstacles and the Bringer of Blessings. Kuan Yin statues are also popular with their message of compassion and kindness. She is often depicted with a vase holding the tears of humanity, a poignant symbol for many.
