With over 60 million users and more than 200 million items for sale at any given time, Poshmark is one of the most lucrative online marketplaces for people looking to sell things. While plenty of Poshmark users \u2014 or \u201cposhers\u201d \u2014 have managed to make a pretty penny, it isn\u2019t always easy to turn a profit on the site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your Poshmark items aren\u2019t selling as fast you would like (or aren\u2019t selling at all), don\u2019t fret! There are two main components to focus if you want to increase sales on Poshmark: your listings and the way you interact with other Poshers. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to increase your poshmark sales by optimizing your listings and taking advantage of Poshmark\u2019s unique social marketplace. Our tips to increase poshmark sales will cover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Photos are the most important part of any Poshmark listing. Photos are the first thing a buyer sees and determine whether or not someone will click on your listing or keep scrolling. Think about it: would you buy an item that had blurry, dark, or unclear photos that did not show you exactly what you were purchasing? No, you would not \u2014 and neither would anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This one should go without saying, but make sure your items look presentable before you take photos and list them on Poshmark. Buyers don\u2019t want to buy items that are dirty, wrinkly, or covered in cat hair! Additionally, you will be more likely to receive positive reviews when you deliver items that have been well cared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your camera choice can be the key to increase sales on Poshmark. You don\u2019t need to have an expensive camera to take great photos for your Poshmark listings \u2014 your phone is just fine! However, not all cameras (phone or otherwise) are created equal. If your camera takes pictures that look like they were taken on a toaster, consider asking a friend if you can borrow their camera or phone for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Poshmark listing photos should be high-quality enough that buyers can easily distinguish your item\u2019s material, color, and any words or writing on tags. Photos should not be pixelated or blurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a look at a photoshoot set of any large fashion brand, you’ll probably notice tons of lights and lighting accessories, such as softboxes and reflectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s because when it comes to photography, the camera is only half the battle. Even with a great camera, improper lighting can be detrimental to the quality of your Poshmark listing photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The overhead lighting in your home is unlikely to cut it, especially if you use warm-toned light bulbs, as these can distort the true color of your items. Well-lit photos can help you increase your sales on poshmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best lighting to use for your Poshmark listing photos is bright, natural light or an artificial lookalike. Here are some things to keep in mind when positioning your items or light sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’d like to increase sales on poshmark you need to look into the amount of photos you upload. You can upload a maximum of 16 photos to your Poshmark listing \u2014 the more the merrier! Take photos of your item from the front, the back, the inside, the bottom, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The more photos you include in your Poshmark listing, buyers will feel confident knowing that you are transparent about the condition of your item. This increases the chances of making a sale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> if the item has any imperfections, such as stains or tears, you should photograph these. Buyers need to know exactly what they are purchasing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The way you compose the photos used in your Poshmark listing has a strong effect on the way your items are perceived and how well they sell. There are many ways that sellers display their items, such as on a model or mannequin, on a hanger, or even on the floor. No matter your chosen display method, you should ensure that the item for sale is the focal point of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some sellers use a technique called a \u201cflat lay\u201d, which is an image shot from directly above. Many photographers and bloggers use this technique, often incorporating a multitude of items that relate to the one that is for sale, giving buyers an idea of how an item can be styled or the feelings it can evoke \u2014 this is a powerful marketing technique used by many prolific companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, you should display the items in a way that is Poshmark-friendly. All Poshmark listing photos are square. Many sellers forget about this and take their photos in the wrong format, resulting in the photos being cropped in such a way that obscures part of the item. If you are taking the photos on your phone, consider taking them in square mode, that way you can ensure that the entire item is shown in the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your description can be the difference between making a sale on Poshmark and not. The description is where you can discuss anything that was not made immediately clear in the listing\u2019s title or photos. This is also when you can really \u201csell it\u201d to buyers, explaining what makes your item worth purchasing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no way for buyers to know the exact size of an item when shopping online, unless, of course, you include its measurements. Measurements are especially important when selling garments, as many clothing brands do not follow a standard when it comes to sizing \u2014 what may be a size 8 in one brand may be a size 12 in another! When you include detailed measurements, buyers will be more likely to purchase your item because they know that it will fit them properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, buyers cannot hold the item in their hands. What is your item made of? Is it soft, scratchy? Is it slightly sheer and should be worn with an undershirt? These are things your customers will want to know, and if you do not tell them in your Poshmark listing description, they may feel misled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s face it, many second-hand items are not always in the best condition. That does not mean that buyers aren\u2019t willing to purchase your product, though! Even if you documented any stains, tears, or damage in your Poshmark listing photos, they should be noted in the description. It is important to disclose any imperfections for two reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the same way that flat lay photography can create a mood around your item, you can use your Poshmark listing description to set the scene and inspire buyers. This tactic is commonly seen for clothing \u2014 sellers may list ideas of different ways to wear the item, here is an example on the site Boohoo<\/a>. Don\u2019t be afraid to get creative, but don\u2019t overdo it, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
