May 21, 2020May 20, 2020Posh TipsLeave a Comment

Social media is a powerful marketing tool at your fingertips and is a great way to amplify your Poshmark listings to reach more people and drive even more sales. Wondering how and where to start? We’re breaking down social media channel by channel to help you hone in on which channel is right for you and your social media marketing efforts. Let’s get to it.

What channel is right for you?

With Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and more in the game, it might seem daunting to figure out where to start. To help shape your focus, here’s a quick breakdown of each channel:

Instagram is a platform built on visuals and storytelling. It’s one of the easiest places to build your brand and grow your following outside of Poshmark.
- Tell your story through behind-the-scenes action via Instagram Stories.
- Use IGTV to share short-form video content you want to live on.
YouTube is your go-to if you’re comfortable being on camera and you have the desire to create valuable content (think: how-to style videos). The Poshmark community is filled with creators so if you’re stuck on what you’d even talk about, head over to YouTube and search “Poshmark” to get some inspiration!
Facebook is a massive social platform with a broad audience that prioritizes video content and allows you to share your listings to the masses. There’s also the opportunity to join private groups and communities dedicated to Poshmark knowledge sharing.
Twitter is great for casual conversations, easily sharing your listings, and targeting a broader audience. Are you great at writing and love to engage with others? Twitter is the right platform for you!
Pinterest is particularly useful when it comes to finding visual inspiration but also doubles as a SEO powerhouse. What does that mean? When you share your Poshmark listings directly to Pinterest, your photos and keywords will be picked up by Pinterest search and other search engines giving your listings more exposure. Did you know over 20% more sales are made when you connect your Poshmark account to Pinterest? Keep reading to learn how!
TikTok is an emerging channel that is gaining worldwide traction and is the source for many of the trends and memes found on the internet today. TikTok’s biggest draw? It can help you tap into a new audience: Gen Z.

It may be overwhelming thinking you have to start an account on every channel but that’s for you to decide. Maybe you don’t see the need for YouTube or Twitter but want to build your following on Instagram. That’s okay! There’s no rulebook when it comes to this so do what’s best for you.

How does social media drive traffic to your Poshmark closet?
Connecting your social media accounts to Poshmark is a great way to drive traffic to your closet from different sites. These social media sites have highly engaged users who use the site frequently. Facebook alone has 1.62 million daily active users and 2.45 billion monthly active users. By linking your social media accounts, you can easily share your listings to all your platforms with a tap.

Connect your social media channels on Poshmark to share your listings directly to Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook through the app. Tap the Account tab, then scroll down to Sharing Settings to connect and let the sharing begin.

Helpful Tips to Keep in Mind

So you got your accounts set up, great! Now what? Once you’ve connected your accounts to your account (as mentioned above), go one step further and link your closet wherever possible on your social media accounts.

Link in Bio
For the majority of these platforms, they’ll allow you to link to a specific page while setting up your profile. Use this to your advantage and copy your Poshmark closet’s link to use anywhere and everywhere.

Do you have multiple links you want to share? Consider signing up for Linktree or Milkshake which will allow you to build a landing page for all your links to live on. This is useful for when you want to direct someone to your Poshmark page and your latest YouTube video at the same time.

Hashtags
Hashtags are the perfect tool to help you boost your discoverability. When posting an image, tweet, video, etc. keep relevant hashtags in mind. To put it in perspective, hashtags are a bit like an organizational tool. People will search certain hashtags to find posts that are similar to their interests which may allow them to run across your post. Later has a great resource all about hashtags.

We definitely believe that building relationships matter when it comes to your closet (and life in general). Here are a few tricks and tips for networking with style:

1. Come prepared. In networking events, you meet so many faces that it’s hard to remember everyone you meet, and business cards are the perfect way to leave an impression that lasts. Don’t have your own personalized business card? Poshmark and Moo.com have teamed up to offer you 100 FREE (yes, that beautiful word) mini business cards – available for pick-up at PoshFest! The only thing you have to pay for is $3 shipping! Hurry – this offer only lasts until October 13 11:50PM EST!

3. Follow up, ladies! The only way to build lasting connections beyond Vegas is to follow up with your new friends. Shoot them an email, say hi on Instagram, or of course send a nice little comment on Poshmark!

Posh Tip: Increase Your Followers, Increase Your Sales

May 21, 2013March 13, 2020Community, Posh Tips58 Comments

Poshmark connects people from across the country (and now Canada!). The more followers you have, the higher the chances are that you will sell items from your closet. That’s why growing your following count is important. Here are some of our simple tips on how you can grow your Poshmark network:

1. Search to find others like you

Use Poshmark’s search functionality and ‘My Size’ feature to find listings that are exactly your size. When you spot something you like, click through and check out the rest of the closet. You’ll come across plenty of people with a similar style who will also love to shop your closet, so follow and begin engaging with them!

2. Share the #PoshLove

Come across something that you like and you think others will like as well? Share it! Trust us when we say that the shares you help spread will get returned, which can result in new followers and sales!

3. Be active in Posh Parties

Make your presence known during a time when a high number of women are on Poshmark at the same time by joining, sharing, and engaging in Posh Parties! Everyone, not just your followers, can view your items and those you share in a Posh Party, so use this as an opportunity to recruit new closet followers. Just remember to stay in-theme when listing and sharing to the parties!

4. Recruit your real world friends to join Poshmark

Encourage your friends to join Poshmark so they can list their own items, follow you, and shop your closet! Your closet name is your invite code.

5. Take advantage of social media

Make Poshmark a part of your regular social media routine to help build viral buzz for your Poshmark closet and activity. Added a new listing? See a pair of shoes you think one of your social media friends would like? Shipping out sales with extra-cute packaging? Use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube to spread the word and connect.
