Write Listing Descriptions That Make SALES

Help your items sell FAST! When creating a listing, using titles and descriptions that are rich with descriptive text are key in making your items more searchable—the more searchable, the faster you’ll sell. Here are a few tips for creating more discoverable titles and descriptions:

Why it Works:

This title clearly defines the style, brand and material of the shorts, using searchable keywords.

Why it Doesn’t:

This title doesn’t specify the brand, style or material of the item. The buyer is left to guess what they might be looking at.

Why it Works:

This description uses terms that describe the item, making it more searchable—by saying the material, cut and brand, these jeans will now appear in any search on Poshmark or Google for high waisted, denim, or Dynamite. Providing measurements for the item eliminates any back and forth conversation with a  potential buyer—they will be more likely to click “Buy Now.”

Why it Doesn’t:

While the description states that a shirt is for sale, mentioning that it doesn’t fit the seller isn’t particularly helpful to buyers. There is no information about the style, condition or material of the item, making it hard for a potential buyer to know if it will be right for them.
