Hi friends!
I am so excited to finally write this post because I have finally reached 200,000 followers on Poshmark!
What is Poshmark you ask? It’s a digital marketplace where anyone can buy and sell new or used clothing, shoes and accessories via online or on their app.
I’ve been recycling my closet on Poshmark for almost 3 years now, and it’s truly one of my favorite hobbies. Not only do I love selling on Poshmark, but some of my favorite pieces that I’ve been wearing for years I also purchased for amazing deals on the platform.
I would love to share some tips that have helped to be to become a successful seller, just in case you are interested in cleaning out your closet as well!
Appearance
Post great cover photos to catch the attention of potential buyers. My favorite apps for editing photos are Snapseed for brightness, TouchRetouch for cutting out background objects, and Adobe Lightroom for clarity.
Use white poster board for flat lay pictures, or a bare wall with a hook to hang clothing pieces up so your items will look crisp and neat.
Write your listings as clear as possible and always include the condition, size, measurements and any flaws.
Tissue paper & washi tape are an inexpensive way to dress up your items! I usually try to coordinate with the holidays or seasons for my buyers, and February is for Valentines!
Write thank you notes – a personal touch can go a long way, especially for repeat customers.
Organization/Shipping
You can order free USPS supplies online store them at home for easy and quick packaging. These boxes are my favorite because they already come equipped with self-sealing tape on each end, so you are saving packing tape in the long run.
Buy large clear bins to store your packing and shipping supplies, along with any items that have already been posted to your closet. I have 8 of these hidden under our bed and I organize my items by tops, bottoms, shoes, bags, accessories, etc.
Save bubble wrap from online shopping orders to reuse to wrap delicate items, and also recycle any small boxes for jewelry to reuse later.
Exposure
Share your items daily! I aim to share my closet at least 3 times a day: once in the morning, once after work and once before bed.
Follow people, and they will follow you back! Follow games are also a great way to gain followers, so I try to “play” as many as possible!
Share other people’s items that are similar to your style, and they will share back and in turn expose your items to more buyers.
Add new items to your closet frequently – this helps your items show up under the Just In clothing section.
I hope you enjoyed these tips and please feel free to reach out with any questions in the comments. Sign up with code PATRICIAA to get $5 off your first order! Happy Poshing!
