Have you been trying to sell on Poshmark and wondering how to get better results?
Keep in mind that this online platform provides you the opportunity to sell, but it’s up to you to stay vigilant in your pursuit of earning more money with it.
Don’t expect instant success. Learn from the following secrets to selling on Poshmark and watch your results improve week by week.
Put Your Best Items on Top
List out your best items for sale right at the top of your page. You want to give your customers the ability to immediately see items they’re most likely to buy. As well, if they like those top selections, they’ll probably keep scrolling in order to discover your other items.
Your best items should include popular brands, designer items, items in excellent condition and items with new tags.
Don’t forget that posting your best selections at the top increases the chances that people will share them when they are reciprocating shares.
Take the Time to Customize Your Profile
Make your profile personable by adding a picture of yourself. This is a common practice used by top Poshmark sellers. The reason is that it helps customers feel a closer connection with you.
Create your “Meet Your Posher” listing so that customers are able to follow your closet. It also ensures they can stay in communication with you and that the listing doesn’t disappear. Take advantage of the eight images you can use inside each listing and add important information about yourself.
Highlight any selling points about yourself. For example, add any of the following that relate to your situation:
Take Advantage of Templates
One of the worst mistakes you can make is listing with sparse descriptions. You need to list out plenty of details so your buyers feel confident in what they’re ordering from you.
Using a template allows you to quickly list new items without missing important details. Your template might include item measurements, unique details, flaws, item condition and item size.
Share Items at Poshmark Parties
Use daily Poshmark parties to share your items and get more exposure.
These parties are your opportunity to get in front of people who aren’t following you yet. Party participants will share and this will help increase the volume of your items getting shared. Take the time to share back.
Share Your Listings
Yes, you want to share other people’s listings and items. Don’t forget to share your own listings, too. Try sharing Monday through Friday in the early mornings when many Poshers are active before they go into work and of course, on weekends.
Become an Ambassador and Party Host
Hosting your own party or becoming a Poshmark Ambassador are excellent methods for getting more exposure for your closet.
It doesn’t take much to become a party host. Email the company and let them know you’d like to become one. During each party, you’ll get great exposure when your profile and closet are listed at the top. Interacting with fellow Poshers during the party also helps increase exposure.
Think About What Sells Well
Take time out to think through what actually sells well on Poshmark. If you want to do better on the platform, it takes more effort than simply posting random items you’d like to clear out of your closet.
Consider selling trendy and seasonal items on Poshmark. The reason for this is that most Poshmark buyers are young women. As you move into using the platform as a more serious business option, think about how you can obtain products in bulk to sell.
You have to make sure you can get items that bring profits after subtracting out the 20 percent seller fee. Also, will your buyers purchase at the price you need for profit with the shipping fee tacked on?
Follow Many Other Poshmark Users
Sharing is a big part of this platform’s culture. Over time, follow thousands of other people so that you increase the chances for getting your own items shared. Most people will follow you back and share your items.
Here’s a tip for following other people: Visit the party pages and find where it shows the people following the hosts. Go down that list of host followers and start following as many as you can. It’s possible to follow a few hundred people in a matter of minutes. As they start following you back, you’ll notice that many will immediately share your items.
Answer Questions Right Away
Do your best to answer comments and questions within one day. Have you ever been ready to buy a product but had a quick question to ask first? What happened if the seller didn’t respond to you quickly? That’s right, you most likely lost faith in buying from them.
Don’t make that same mistake with your potential customers. Answering questions quickly sets you apart from all the inactive Poshmark closets and helps build confidence with your future customers.
Don’t get overwhelmed with the above secrets to selling on Poshmark. You don’t need to tackle every idea at once. Pick one and add it into your Poshmark business activities. Consistently following the other strategies will increase the money you make over time.
