Think of marketing in three areas to help your business hit different goals:

Growth Marketing:
How to attract new customers and grow your current business

  • New arrivals lists: create a listing in your closet as a place to tag and let your customers know when you’ve uploaded new merchandise.
  • Build relationships with repeat customers: Notice someone has been repeat-buying from your closet? Reach out and build a stronger connection!
  • Outbound communication: Get your closet name out there! Not only in the app, but out there in the world of social media as well! *stay tuned for an upcoming blog post on this*|

Product Marketing:
How to use the marketing tools built into Poshmark to leverage the existing community

  • Sharing to Posh Parties: Take note of when our daily Posh Parties are happening. Sharing to these parties will gain increased exposure for your listings.
  • Utilizing the Dressing Room: Take our shiny new feature, the Dressing Room, for a spin! There you can style your buyers, offer them private bundle discounts, and more.
  • Price Drop Notification Strategy: Wait until your listing hits critical mass aka you’ve built up your likes, then drop the price at strategic times to trigger a price drop notification.

Brand & Content Marketing:
How to find your niche and building a brand that people recognize & love (As @katjo says, “marketing is the push, branding is the pull!”)

  • Social Media: Find your niche and start promoting your brand on social media to that audience.
  • Creative Marketing: Get creative in your marketing approach! Try using videos to showcase your listings on social media. Offer styling tips in your descriptions. Get the creativity flowing!
  • Visual Branding: Find your style and stick to it.
