Tips for Making Daily Sales on Poshmark

The top sellers on Poshmark understand that if you want to get the most out of your campaign then you need to set daily goals. While it can be easy to meet these goals if you have a large following, it can be more challenging for those who are just starting out or are still working to build a loyal audience. That's why it's so important to know which techniques you should spend most of your time on. Whether you're new to the platform or are looking for new ways to add life to your closet, here are some tips for making daily sales.

Tips for Making Daily Sales on Poshmark

Following
If you want to increase your daily sales it's important that you know the value of following other users. Following people is a great way to let them know that your closet exists. And the more people you follow, the more exposure you get. Not only is a it a good idea to follow as many people as you can, but you should sometimes target the people that you follow. Pay attention to the users who are liking items similar to yours. This can be especially beneficial if your item is cheaper than the item that they liked.

Sharing
Sharing is as equally as important as following. It's what helps to expose you to new audiences. Poshmark encourages sellers to sell their own items as well as the closet of others. And the best part is, when you share someone else's items it's likely that they'll share yours. Luckily, Poshmark provides lots of opportunities to share. One of the most popular times in which to share is at parties. Poshmark parties happen four times each day. Each party has a theme. And if you have items that fit the theme then you can get a massive amount of exposure.

Tips for Making Daily Sales on Poshmark

Titles
Bloggers understand how important titles are. It's what inspires people to click on the article to find out more about it. The same goes for listings on Poshmark. The more captivating your title, the more likely people are to click on it to learn more. So it's essential that you create titles that catch people's attention.

The most successful Poshmark titles are to-the-point and make the most of each word. For instance, you may include the brand name of the item, the type of item it is, what material it's made of, as well as the size. When creating a title, try to consider what the audience may be typing into the search bar in order to find it.

Descriptions
Your description needs to be as detailed as possible. Let the buyer know about the color and measurements. Tell them about any flaws that the item may have. Give them an idea of what type of events the item may be worn to. Perhaps offer suggestions about how they could accessorize it. The benefit of being transparent and detailed is that it saves time and the buyer won't have to ask as many questions. This means that you're more likely to reach your daily sales goals because your items will sell faster.

Tips for Making Daily Sales on Poshmark

Images
When promoting your closet on Poshmark there's hardly anything more important than your images. Yes, your title and description will ensure that your customers understand what they're getting, but your photos are what will ultimately inspire trust and lead to purchases. However, you need to make sure that your images are up to par.

The most successful Poshmark closets feature photos that have great lighting. This ensures that customers can inspect the material and see the true color of the item. The best photos are those that are styled. Perhaps you can model the clothes so that your customers can understand how they fit. Another element of a great photo is that it captures all of the item's flaws. This includes snags, stains, and holes. This helps to prevent negative reviews because the customer will always know what they're getting.

Pricing
Pricing can be somewhat tricky. You may not always know what potential buyers are willing to pay for the item. However, if you do a little research you can get a better idea. Is there anyone on the platform who is offering the same item or at least something similar to yours? If so, what are they charging? Once you've researched several sellers and have an average price in mind, you may decide to offer your item for the same price or you could decide to undercut the prices of everyone and put it on the lower end. This way, you can ensure that the item sells quickly.

Just keep in mind that offering your items at an extremely low price can be just as detrimental as offering it at a price that's too high. If it's too low, people may assume that it's not as valuable as the other items. They may also assume that the item is in poor condition. So you need to be strategic about your offer.

The Takeaway
As you can see, if you want to increase your daily sales then you can't just set and forget your items on Poshmark. These tips require you to be proactive. This is especially true when it comes to following and sharing. When you engage with the community it gets you more exposure. If you don't have the time to follow and share consistently then t consider using a Poshmark bot to do the work for you. A Poshmark bot makes the sharing and following process completely automated. And this can go a long way towards increasing your daily sales.

Put Some Stoke In Your Stocking with Harley-Davidson


The holidays can be a stressful time. From family events or planning your own gathering to finding the perfect gift for your loved ones, it seems like there is never enough time.

This year, instead of going from store to store scouring for inspiration and slowly checking off your gift list, consider these ideas from Harley-Davidson that go the extra mile.

Give the gift of a first ride

Surprise the child in your life with a modern twist on a classic holiday gift: an ultimate bike experience to give him or her time and exercise outdoors. For example, the IRONe12 and IRONe16 electric balance bikes can be a perfect learning tool for hand-eye coordination to help a child develop skills while having fun. He or she can learn to push, balance and coast in the non-powered mode before graduating to a powered mode to learn an understanding of the brake and throttle. This gift can provide a one-of-a-kind learning experience and spark a lifetime love for riding on two wheels.


For the “makers” in your life 


The holidays are an opportunity to build memories with family and friends, but this year you can give them the opportunity to build something else with an option like the LEGO Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Kit. This set provides an immersive building experience while showcasing a real-life motorcycle to give the joy of a kid opening a new favorite toy. This gift can be a perfect selection for someone of any age who loves the experience of building and completing a project.

Fashion-forward finds 


Give a gift that keeps your loved ones looking good and feeling confident by gifting stylish apparel. For example, flannels and plaid shirts can keep them warm and toasty this holiday season while also adding flair for men and women. With a variety of color and style options, you can find the right fit for everyone on your list. For those looking to give a more luxurious present, the Wild Distressed Leather Biker Jacket for women and the Digger Leather Jacket for men are options.

For those on the go


Whether commuting to work or hitting the road, your loved one may feel like going on an adventure every time he or she leaves the house with and option like the useful Waxed Canvas Backpack. The backpack is water-resistant with an interior padded laptop sleeve and wide comfortable straps. The waxed canvas and heavy gauge leather provide a unique look and durability.

Give the gift of a new adventure


There’s always that one friend or family member who already has everything under the sun. Instead of stressing to find the perfect tangible item this year, give an adventurous experience he or she is likely to remember for years to come. For example, the Harley-Davidson Riding Academy New Rider Course is a unique option to give the thrill seeker in your life confidence riding on two wheels in just one weekend.

Wearable Fall Trends 2019

The fall season is all about remixing modern classics, which means some fall trends may already be hanging in your closet. However, if you decide to upgrade a few basics, you can find plenty of worthy investment pieces this season that you can wear again and again for years to come. 

Wearable Fall Trends 2019

Be Romantic

Shift your favorite summer florals forward with a cozy knit cardigan and military-esque boots. A zip-up sweatshirt, sneakers and a choker can add a little grunge to a midi or maxi skirt.

“I love the unexpected touch of punk paired with softer pretty pieces,” said Bobbie Thomas, NBC’s “Today” style editor and author of “The Power of Style: Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Dressed Tomorrow.”

Your 9-5 tops can also work for evenings and weekends – a soft tie-neck blouse can elevate a pair of faux leather leggings; just add a blazer and some heavy metal with chains. Or add a touch of lace with a camisole under a v-neck sweater.

Do Denim

Jeans – along with jean jackets, dresses, skirts, jumpers and more – are en vogue. In fact, denim from head to toe is definitely a do and serves up an effortless cool factor, Thomas said. Advanced textiles offer new washes and game-changing fit options.

“When it comes to your basic blues, style and science are blending seamlessly to better fit our figures today,” she said. “The optic technology in Lee’s Shape Illusions collection exemplifies a 360-degree design approach that lifts, lengthens and flatters from every angle. My favorite part is that they’ve applied this to both tops and bottoms with strategic seaming, side panels and enhanced pockets for under $30 – and it’s size inclusive.”

Wearable Fall Trends 2019

Go Green

A treasure trove of jewel tones is in store this season. However, Mother Nature inspires a fresh, standout shade of green – from pistachio to emerald to forest – for a way to layer in color this season. If you’re looking for just a dash, a chic pair of earrings or a bold manicure is an easy way to go green.

“Its organic essence allows green to mix well with any hue,” Thomas said. “A kelly green handbag pops against a classic black and white ensemble while hunter green is a sophisticated compliment to pale pink. Mint looks delicious when mixed with rich browns and chartreuse is the perfect jolt to navy.”

Borrow from the Boys

While suiting is on the scene, oversize blazers are really back, Thomas said. Though models in editorials often sport them draped over the shoulder, she suggests a more practical way to wear the look.

“Keep your look sleek underneath to avoid losing your silhouette and consider making it your own with the definition of a belt or cross-body bag,” Thomas said.

From laid back lumberjack to traditional tartan, fall is also the perfect time to be mad for plaid. The pattern is dominant in stores this year with nearly every colorway imaginable and options like coats and carry-alls.

Boot Up

Kick your look up a notch this fall with a boot. From pointy to square toe styles, chunky combat lace ups to western ankle booties and everything in-between, there really is something for almost everyone.

“I’m not sure there is a boot that’s not in style this season,” Thomas said.

Tips for Supporting a Sick Loved One

Tips for Supporting a Sick Loved One

If your loved one is suffering from a serious medical illness or injury, it can be hard to know how to handle it. While you want to be there for them, you may not know exactly what to do. Here are some things you should and should not do if you find yourself in this type of difficult situation.

Don't Give Medical Advice

Unless you are actually qualified, don't give medical advice. It can be easy to fall down the rabbit hole and start searching your loved one's condition online, but try to avoid the internet. Remember not all information on it is actually true, and it may only stress you out more. Leave the medical advice up to the doctors and play your role as a support person.

Take Them Food

Most likely your friend or family member will not feel up to cooking. Taking food is a great way to help him out. Whether it's making a casserole or sending a get well cookie bouquet, it can make a big difference to someone who is sick. You can enlist others to help as well and form a meal train. There are websites where you can have people sign up to bring meals each day.

Just Be There

Sometimes he doesn't need anything except for you to just be there. That can mean sitting by his bedside and holding his hand or just lending an ear when needed. Try not to treat him differently because of the illness as that can sometimes make things harder.

Although your loved one may not be feeling his best, you can still enjoy your time together. Getting through this won't be easy, but you find that your relationship becomes even stronger because of it. If it begins to get overwhelming, be sure to seek counseling to help yourself as well.

3 Ways to Avoid Purchasing Mistakes as an Independent Woman

Although a lot of progress has been made for women’s rights in recent generations, there is still a long way to go in some regards. For example, some close-minded and non-progressive merchants may still believe if you’re a woman making purchase decisions on your own without help from a male partner, you’re gullible. Keep reading to learn how to assert yourself as an educated, confident female consumer.


Avoid Impulse Buys

Both physical and online stores use various techniques to convince you there are just some things you can’t live without, even if you didn’t intend to buy them when you came into the store. During your last visit to the supermarket, you probably saw how the checkouts were stocked with gum, candy, batteries and other small, crucial items. The goal is for you to decide you may as well pick those things up now because you’ll eventually need them someday.

While shopping online, you may also notice that principle at work when stores suggest additional things to purchase based on whatever’s already in your virtual shopping cart. There are advanced algorithms that try to guess which items will most appeal to you based on past purchasing habits, too. Sometimes, you can even get a discounted rate for purchasing two similar items together.

There are various strategies you can use to keep impulse buys from eroding your willpower. For example, stick to your shopping list and don’t go to other unnecessary departments within the store, shop with cash so you won’t risk spending more than expected and just charging the amount to your credit card, and put a practice in place where you wait for a specified time before acting on a decision to buy an unplanned item.


Get Advice From Trustworthy Friends

Research shows when people feel supported in their purchasing decisions, they’ll stay calmer while deciding what to buy, especially if picking between several choices. That’s why it’s a good idea to rely on friends you trust when trying to make major buying decisions.

You can request their help in several ways. For example, you might be in the market for a new smartphone and know at least one of your close friends owns a model that’s one of your top choices. You could ask that person for the pros and cons of the particular gadget. You might also get a friend to go with you to the shop so you don’t feel under as much pressure, or see if the person will help you figure out your most-needed features.


Depend on Service Providers From the Community

If you have the choice between buying coverage from Nashville local insurance agents and doing business with a company that’s thousands of miles away from your home state of Tennessee, for example, pick the former option. Through face-to-face interactions with a service provider that lives in works in your community, you’ll have good opportunities to demonstrate you’ve done your research and know what you want to buy.

It’s not always possible to prevent purchasing mistakes. However, the tips you’ve just read should help you have fewer regrets, especially if you practice them regularly.
