How to Make More Sales on Poshmark | Tips & Tricks | + Short Updated Review

Are you not making any sales on Poshmark or are you thinking about selling on Posh and you're not sure how to make sales? Well fear not because I have a couple tips/tricks to help you out.

A short review ; I've been selling on Poshmark for around 2 years and I've earned a total of $1,159, it doesn't seem like a lot but I also sell on other selling platforms and when I first started selling on Poshmark I only listed a few items and I let them sit, I didn't know how to help myself gain more sales but over the years I've picked up on some tricks and some sales. I'm very happy with Poshmark as it's simple to use and they have a friendly customer base. (I also sell on Mercari, see my review here)

Now Posh has a pretty simple set up so I'll be giving you tip for each progress of listing/selling your items.

Listing your items ;

The very first most important thing is taking good photos. Especially with the cover shot because that's the first thing the buyer sees. I have a little process for my photos and I've changed it up over time. I will add in some photos from my personal page for example and add tips.


So when I first started selling on Poshmark I started out with collage photos. Some were cute, other not so much. I do not recommend this, you want to post many photos of your item but you don't want them all together, these photos would have been fine separated and added to a listing. Also notice not all of the item is in the photo, that's okay but you do need to have at least one photo with the full item.

 After awhile I started posting more photos but randomally, this only I posted a modeled photo and a close up of any flaws which is something to keep in mind, if your item has a flaw, add photos AND mention it in the description. You don't want an unhappy buyer returning  an item because you failed to mention the condition.

Cover Shots - Make sure your cover shot is something catchy, here are a few examples of my cover shot

I've used photos from google search which is great because the buyer can see the item modeled or maybe they've seen the exact photo on tumblr or pinterest.

I've also used photos of items laying on a solid blanket and of the item hung up on the wall, these are nice because they are simple backgrounds that help bring the eye to the item you are selling.

I've also used model pics, of me wearing the item to show how it fits.

These are all pretty good cover shots to draw a buyer in. Notice some of my photos are edited, I mess with the lighting/contrast because I personally like the aesthetic, this is optional but always mention it in the description with something like *please note that the cover photo has been edited so the color is different, please see other photos for better lighting and note that color might appear different on different screens/etc.

I now take a photo of the item on  mannequin (tops/dresses/skirts/scarves) or hanging on a wall. I also like to keep the area around my mannequin cute and basic. Here is an example ;

You see the full item and it's not too busy of  a  photo but it does catch the eye fast.

So basically have the full item in the picture, get a nice cover shot to draw buyers in and always mention any flaws.

Now on to the title and description, for the title you want to include as much info as possible. Here are a few examples ;

 For these Lululemon pants the title is "Lululemon | Bust a Move Pant" for brands like Lululemon if you know the name of item, always include it in the title because some people are looking for specific items.

Another great example is this sweater, the title is "Peter Pan Collar Maroon Sweater" which describes this sweater pretty well, another word I could have added next to Maroon would be Burgundy if there was room.

Now on to the description, I personally like to have a copy and paste note saved in my phone that I post on every listing it used to be ;

🚫 No Trades 🚫
📦 Fast Shipping 📦
💵 Open to Offers 💵
💕 Willing to Bundle 💕


then it went to ;

 ➵ Price is Firm
➵ Pet free home
➵ Not a smoke free home
➵ Ask questions before purchasing

now it's at ;

➵ Pet free home
➵ Smoke free home
➵ Ask questions before purchasing

So notes from these three different descriptions would be ; if you are from a smoking home, put it in the description, I personally don't smoke but I lived in a home where there was smokers and got complaints of the smell, I never noticed the smell because I was constantly around smokers, then I got my own apartment which I don't allow smoking in and when a family member comes over that smokes, I automatically notice the smell. So even if you don't smoke, but there is a smoker in the house, mention it. Now that I'm in  a new apartment I like to put "Smoke free home" to let buyers know they won't have to worry about the smell, it also helps get more buyers, especially people with asthma who can't be around smoke. Also mention if it's a pet free home or dog / cat friendly home because of pet hair. You can always say something like "Cat friendly house which may result in some cat hair but I wash all items before shipping" this helps buyers that are allergic know they can't buy from you or they can risk it but they know what to expect. You don't want someone buying something and having an allergic reaction. I sometimes add "open to offers" on my listings but people make offers most of the time anyways so it's not really needed. You could also add "fast shipping" if you ship within 1-2 days. Another thing is to add whether you do bundles or not, although Posh now has a bundle feature some buyers still like for people to list a bundle listing.

More great things to include in descriptions is size, fit, and flaws. Here is a great examples of a good description.

I've added the brand, size, measurements, and a brief description. A big tip when listing pants is adding the waist and inseam, because most people will ask about it and it helps buyers better with sizing, especially since all jeans fit different. I also like to include a photo showing how to get the waist/inseam measurements because some people don't know what the measurements are and I personally know how that feels, I always got so confused when people asked for the inseam but after a quick google search I found out.

More tips for the description that they ask  ;

Always select the right answer for each item, it helps people when searching.

Always select the color(s) of the item, incase someone search for "blue sweater"  yours just might pop up. For the original price, if you forgot it don't worry either put a similar price or just put a 0.

A really nice thing about Posh is they show you how much you will earn after the item has sold.

What to do after you've created your listings ;

Have you listed all your items and you're not getting any likes or making any sales? Well here are some tips to help afterwards.

1. Share your listings;  This helps take your item back to the top of the brand page. I like to share my items whenever I'm bored, instead of stalking facebook or Instagram I like to share listings. This also helps all your sold listings to stay at the bottom of the page, so that new customers can go through your listings and not have to see random sold items because after a few sold items they will just assume everything else is sold.

2. Share other peoples listings ; Most people do share for share which means if you go share 3 of their items they will probably share 3 of yours. (not everyone does this) I personally make sure to share other peoples listings when they've shared mine. Also look for pages with more followers when they share your listing it will be to a bigger audience.

3. Share to social media ; Mainly Pinterest, when I'm looking up stuff on Pinterest I always see Posh listings so I tend to share mine a lot because you never know who is looking up outfit ideas and notice your item and boom new customer. Just create a board called Poshmark or Poshmark Finds, etc.

4. Share to parties ; I know you're probably thinking, I get it, share all listings everywhere but it really does help. If you see a party is happening, share as many listings as you can, as often as you can because it really does help, you'll notice after sharing listings to a party, other people will share your listings.

You can get a $2 credit for downloading the app and using invite code YYSGQZ make sure you type in all caps or you won't get the credits, also share your code with your friends and family so that you'll get more credits, it doesn't seem like a lot but the credits add up fast.

Thrift / Schoola / Thredup Haul ; Rare Brandy Melville, Free People, Hollister, Steve Madden, and More!

It's time for another haul, I don't always post hauls because I'm either too busy or I don't purchase enough items to make a post, or I forget. But I've made a few good purchases recently so I figured a haul is due! 

I'll start with my order from Thredup

- Hollister Poncho/Cardigan in a beautiful tribal print.
- Steve Madden black combat boots (which I have been dying to get ever since I got my brown ones, which I also got from Thredup!)

- Hollister Floral dress which will look amazing with some tights, a cardigan, and boots.

- Rare Brandy Melville jada dress in a gorgeous cream/beige floral print.

- Rare Brandy Melville purple bohemian printed jada dress.

- Brandy Melville finn cardigan, the shorter sleeve version.

- Brandy Melville pink and white sammie shirt.

The best part was I won this cardigan/poncho on Thredup's Facebook! Every Tuesday they have a #TuesdayFinds game where you comment with the link of an item that is below $25 and why you love it and they choose a winner! 

So in the end my Thredup order came out to... $24! That's between 2 separate orders, meaning separate shipping as well! I am so excited to get all my lovely items! I got these with credits that I earned by referring people, that's how the price was so low! Now if you're interested in joining Thredup, here is a link to give you a free $20 credit! http://www.thredup.com/r/EKO8JR You can also look around on Retailmenot.com for coupon codes to save even more! Thredup has great prices! 

Now on to my Schoola orders, I've placed a few because Schoola items sell fast and only stay in your cart for 10 minutes but they normally have Free Shipping, so it wasn't a problem for me, although I do wish they would ship the items together. 

From Schoola I got ; 

- Ugg House Slippers 

- Unbranded Jeans

- We the Free by Free People Coat (This is sherpa lined and so warm!)

- 7 of All Mankind Jeans

- Rare Brandy Melville Sweater

- Madewell Jeans 

All the items I got from Schoola was FREE! I got them from referral credits and by using the coupon codes they offer, they offer lots of coupon codes though out the week. If you want to Join Schoola, use this link for a free $20 credit, https://www.schoola.com/stitch?ref=cp-3X1oqmB64 then make a collection for another $10 credit! After that search for any promo codes to get a better discount! If you're reading this today ( Wednesday, January 13) try the code HERO for 50% off, that's $60 worth of free clothes! 

I also got this adorable Cooperative from Urban Outfitters cardigan, I fell in love with the adorable fox print and had to have it! No special sales on this, but it was too adorable to pass up! 

Another item I got was some Nike slides to wear around the house. 

How to Raise Your Influenster Score and Get More Voxboxes Tips and Tricks

  If you are reading this post you probably already have an Influenster account, if you do not, you can join here; www.influenster.com/r/490414

I am going to go over the basics of how to raise your score on Influenster. You'll want to raise it so you can qualify for more voxboxes. If you don't know what Influenster is you can learn more here; Blog About Influenster 

1. Link Your Social Media Accounts to Influenster; Linking your accounts will help Influenster see your impact on social media accounts. I would recommend you add as many social media networks as you have. I personally think Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are the main ones, since Influenster normally give you tasks for voxboxes that have to do with these main networks. It may take a day or two for your score to go up after you link your account so be patient if it doesn't automatically go up. 

2. Answer All Your Snaps; These are mostly them just asking you to link your social media accounts as well, if you don't have the network they are asking for just click skip. 

3. Unlock Badges; You'll want to unlock as many Expert and Lifestyle Badges as possible. Fill out any surveys and review items in each category to be eligible for voxboxes that have to do with each badge. The more you do, the more likely you are to be included in a voxbox.

4. Regularly Check for Campaigns; Sometimes you will be invited to do Virtual Voxboxes, you won't receive anything at first but you may later on. For example, in the next photo you'll notice the eBay Campaigns, these are virtual. I've completed all three available and so far I have received two codes by email for $10 eBay gift cards and I am currently waiting on a $25 one via email

5. Review Items You Already Own; When you review items you get points towards badges which make you more likely to be picked for boxes. When I'm bored I'll go around my room with a small basket and throw some items in it, hair products, make up, etc and I will look them up on Influenster and leave reviews. I will also purchase items and review them after a week or so of having them. You get 5 points towards badges when you leave reviews. For example I just left a review for a NYX Hd Studio Foundation  and I got 5 points for the Beauty Badge. 

. 

6. Ask/Answer Questions; After you've left a review for something, check out the questions on the products page and if you can, answer some. Also if you're wanting to know something about a product before purchasing it, go on the products page and ask it. Here is a photo where I got 5 more points towards my Beauty Badge for answering someones question. 

7. Complete Tasks for Boxes You've Already Received; If you have received a voxbox make sure you complete the tasks, you want to do all the Brand Tasks, each task will give X amount of points towards your main score. 

You can also do the other tasks, these points won't be worth as much points, but every point counts. 

Also just be patient and remember you have to put in work to get items. If you have a popular blog or youtube, you will probably be qualified for many voxboxes without too much work but for other people, myself included, you get what you put in. 

Another tip; Add Influenster to your VIP/favorites in your email so that any emails from them will automatically pop up. I did this awhile back so that when I get surveys for boxes, I am automatically notified and I can complete them asap. Also that way I don't forget to check my email and miss out. 

If you have any questions; feel free to leave them in the comments and I will answer them.

Thanks <3
