What's been happening lately in my Posh closet/

Another month has gone by and I've not posted!  It's not that I've lost interest but that life has been happening. 

So, what's going on with my closet?

First, I appreciate my friends.  Several of them have given me more items to sell in my closet.  Incredible items and some I chose not to sell but keep for myself.  They, of course, were ok with that.

One gave me a brand new Dooney and Bourke purse.  It still has the tag, tissue, and even the bag it came in!  It is listed for $150.  Originally, $198!  https://poshmark.com/listing/Dooney-Bourke-Red-Pebble-Camera-Crossbody-Bag-6a56ad1b955383ab427d7980

Another gave me two Orca Coatings mugs that are still in the foam packaging.  I need to get these listed.  I'm thinking one for $25 or both for $40.  I did some research and the website for the company does not list prices.  Used ones were listed on Etsy for $12 to $20 or more.  So, I'll start here and be willing to negotiate.

In fact, I have so much from my friends that I'm not even shopping my usual thrift shops/  I do not need any more.  I need to clear some out.

So, how about a great deal just for you who read this post?  Go to my closet My Posh Closet  create a bundle with all your likes, comment "I read your blog", and I will send you an incredible offer!

Or, would you like to make money on Poshmark too?

Enjoy the rest of the summer.  I hope you do many fun things!

Life happens! That's why I've not posted lately.

I have too much stuff so I've not been shopping.  I have had some really good sales. 

I sold a few dresses, tops, and an evening bag.  Profits from recent sales were a surprising $200!!!

That's good for me. 

The last few days I have not done any sharing, offers, follows, adding new items, nothing. 

Isn't this dress gorgeous.  It's one of that string of great sales.

I received 5 star ratings so far on everything. And, some nice comments. 

 Maybe I will get a few return buyers.

 Learning something new everyday!  Some "stuff" I just noticed on Poshmark.

I said before that I love the latest update from Poshmark.  It is much, much better.  I love how it looks and the additions they made like the easier to use tools and better-looking layout.

Today, I explored a little more deeply into things.  I love that we can now see data on each and every item in our closet.  This data can help me see what's getting shown, seen, clicked, and more.  

This is a gorgeous dress at what, I believe, is a very good price. 

I bought it at a Teen Challenge thrift shop.  I would not have even considered it because it cost me 15 or 20 dollars.  But, when your adorable grandson picks it out and feels very strongly that it will sell, what else is there to do but get it. And, I did.  My research showed its original price was $500. I listed it at $99 eventually.

It has had 201 Impressions which means it has appeared in feeds and ads that many times.  It has been listed longer than 89 days.  I edited it at least once by creating a copy, deleting the original and updating it.  That resets the days listed.  

It has only 1 like which is disappointing.  Only 25 clicks?  That means only 25 lookers actually clicked on it to find out more about it.  I've made an offer on it 5 times.  Guess that one liker is the recipient of all of those. 

What does all this tell me?  I honestly do not know except ask myself "What more do I need to do?"

I already share at least 3 times a day.  I respond to likes as quickly as I can.  I send a message to my shoppers only once a month because people do get tired of all the spam coming their way. I share on Pinterest every time I share to followers.  I put ads on Instagram.  And, I do this blog.

I believe my listings are presentable especially the ones with the virtual models I make with Photoroom. I also believe my descriptions are thorough and well-written. I am inconsistent with adding measurements.

However, I've sold 35 items and earned over $300 this month.  That's definitely an uptick compared to pre-changes to the app.

Overall, I am happy with Poshmark and will continue to sell.  I cannot spend all day sharing but I could do more than 3 times a day.  I need to update listing older than 60 days more often too.

New Look; New Items

Poshmark updated and I like it!

Poshmark is always exporing ways to make the site/app better for buyers and sellers.  I love the newest update even if I can't find how to add stories anymore.  I doubt the ones I did do made any difference.

The new layout is clean and easy on the eyes.  The pictures are better in portrait rather than square and the ones I do in Photoroom translate really well to Posh.

I used to get upset on any app that changed all the time.  Whenever I opened my computer and it looked different, I would freak. I'd joke that men must be in charge because when they have a tv remote they cannot last five minutes before they are looking through the guide or changing channels or, worse, checking what is going to be on later that day or in a few days.   My husband does this often.  He'll have a show on and think of something he wants to record in the future or there's some info he wants to check and he will start flipping all over the place.  I prefer to keep it on the channel until the show is over!

Now, I just take change in stride.  It is going to happen and it is totally out of my control.  I just "explore" all the tabs and screens that appear now in the app and know where the things are that I need. Everything is usually still there and if it isn't and it is something users like or need, then I email Posh support and share my thoughts on it.  They listen to feedback.   In the world of online companies, I rank Poshmark #1 in responding to concerns.  They act fast and the response is always professional.

I do not have all the update items yet but I am looking forward to seeing more info on my stats/progress easier and not have to download an excel document so I can analyze the data.  

It's still a very easy app to use whether you are buying or selling no matter the changes they make. 

I love that I can order my free shipping boxes and envelopes straight from the app and not have to order by email from Victory Packaging.

Bottom line, don't freak, explore!

 C'mon Salvation Army! Really?

On Wednesdays, I like to go to both Salvation Army and Goodwill in search of great items for resell in my closet.  Lately, I've been really disappointed in both but very disappointed in Salvation Army.

I get that both organizations rely on sales to support the good work they do.  However, must you put a price tag on these items that is absolutely ridiculous. Take a look!

Isn't this interesting?  As you can see, Marshall's had priced it at $15.  The tag behind it is the Salvation Army tag.  Yep, that's $30!  Why would they price it at twice what Marshall's had?

Crazy, huh?

This is not a one time thing.  I've seen it many times. I try to find items that cost me no more than $4 so I have a better chance of making a little money on it when I sell it.  These thrift stores are asking 12, 24, even as high as 50 dollars for items that have tags or are a good name brand but, seriously, why?  People are not buying the items marked so high.  I'd spend more if they had their .99 cent sale that they no longer do.

So, I have updated my philosophy.  I will look for items with original tags that will not cost me ore than $4 to buy!

I live in an area that has two Goodwills and one Salvation Army.  In nearby towns, there is another Salvation Army and three Goodwills.  However, the selection is limited and none run super sales nor do they have bins to search through.

My best place has been the SPCA thrift store but it has closed.  I do ok at Plato's C:oset when they run their clearance sales but that only happens three or four times a year.

I do ok at Label Shopper when they have their 50% off items marked 3,4, or 5 dollars.  

I may find more if I am willing to go out of town or to another state but with gas prices going up that has to be put on hold.

I still have fun looking and shopping because I have found amazing items and hope to find more.  That adventuresome feeling keeps me going.

And, I do make sales.  I just held a clearance sale that will end on Saturday, March 21st at Midnight.

Get your deal before the sale ends!

Limited Time Only! Putting things on sale in my Poshmark Closet ENDS Sat, March 21st at Midnight

 

I must be craaaaazy!!! Yes, I am offering a huge sale opportunity.  This is an effort to:

A.  Clear space in my inventory for more stuff and

B.  Make a little bit of money that could help me a lot right now.

So, the offer is Bundle and Save:

Items $25 or less: 5 for $25 or

Items $15 or less:  5 for $15

I really need some major sales.  There are challenges happening in my life and even a little extra money will have an impact.  So, come one come all to shop my closet while this offer lasts. 

To be honest, I make great offers all the time but no one likes letting things go for a song.  On average, the items I source cost me about $3.  When I sell for $3, I make a nickel.  That's a loss!  But, I have way too much stuff in my closet.  It is taking over one entire bedroom and two other closets in the house.

I need to make money not just sales.  Hopefully, those who take advantage of this offer will see the quality of my items and be willing to pay my list prices at another time.

Tell your friends to come shop my closet too.  Amazing what you can find.
