Tips

Here are some tips to make your closet a success.

1. Create a good profile

Choose your profile photo and banner wisely and write a descriptive bio. Explain who you are and why you’re selling preloved clothing. Buyers often prefer to purchase items from sellers in their own county, so be sure to include your location. Profiles that are more personalised have greater credibility with potential buyers.

2. Great photos equal great sales

Take clear photos: Use good lighting and take multiple photos of each item, including close-ups of any flaws or wear and tear. Square photos taken in natural light work best! Try to remove any clutter or distractions from the background. You can also use websites such as https://www.remove.bg/ to remove backgrounds and make your photo look more professional!

3. Be descriptive

Write detailed descriptions: Include the brand, size, material, and any relevant information about the item’s condition, history, and care instructions. Be transparent about the item’s state and any damage.

4. Engage with potential buyers

Be responsive and respond promptly to inquiries. Reply to comments on your product pages and be prepared to lower the asking price if someone makes a reasonable offer.

5. Sharing is Caring

Sharing your products on social media can be a great way to reach a wider audience and increase sales. Create posts, stories or reels of your products for Instagram, TikTok and Facebook to engage potential buyers.

6. Package with care

Ship items securely, promptly and pack well to prevent damage. Make sure you update the buyer with the status of packaging and shipping in your Sales tab so they trust they will receive their package promptly.

7. Reviews, Reviews, Reviews!

Handle transactions in a friendly and professional manner to establish a positive reputation. Buyers are likely to check the seller’s reviews before making a purchase. 5 star reviews reflect trust and credibility and make it more likely you will make a sale.
