I am naturally an enthusiastic, joyful person. I declare that I love all kinds of things that I face an average day – and I usually mean it. However, I have seen that many people – especially those who regularly post on social media – are – No Like me Those who post their grip online do this, because, okay, they have a hold, only a few of which are valid. Thus, I disregard the crankier opinion seen on X and Reddit until I tried to do anything for myself.
This week happened when I decided to try Poshamark “”Promotion closet “ The feature, which allows you to pay a little money to potential buyers to promote your sales listing. I am in many resale forums and see the poster maligning the feature all the time, but as always, my initial doubt is that people are generally very important: I was right: I was: I was: I to do Promotion of love. Nevertheless, I immediately saw that it is not necessarily suitable for everyone.
The promoted closet is a payment facility on the poshmark that puts your listing in front of potential buyers during a week’s campaigns that are automatically renewed and can be canceled at any time. When someone discovers a specific brand or item, if you are promoting your closet and something that aligns with their discovery, it will pop up more in their search results.
You get a week -long test test before you actually start paying, which finally assures me to try it. I already pay for third-party apps such as Vandu and Privallister, which helps me crosspost my-cell items in various marketplace apps and helps me a little in running my shop through automation, so the idea of paying for the third thing was difficult. I decided to give it a shot and saw if it works enough to justify the payment and, perhaps, canceled my other app membership.
Within two days, I earned $ 115 in sales from promotion – but it was away from a sale (I would touch it more in a moment). Other basics you need to know are: By joining the promoted closet you get access to a dashboard which you have received and you have paid per click. It also tracks the sold listing, and underlines your return to investment. The money you paid comes from a debit card, not out of your poshmark balance, so you will get a traditional fee.

Since I have been running it for four days, here I have statistics: I got a sale for 3,756 impressions, 96 click and $ 115. My “spending” was $ 8.64 (although not really, because I am running free tests), which is $ 0.09 per click. My clicks rate is 2.56% and my conversion rate is 1.04%. I want the dashboard to highlight the “Like” that I have received by the promotion, but it is not.
I focused on a large amount of likes on some listings in the last few days, but cannot prove that they had come from promotion, although I think they did. When someone prefers listing, you can send them to a deal offer or transfer their liked listing to a bundle, which makes it easy for you to buy in bulk, so for me, the choice is the most important part of the sales. Seeing how many people I got from promotion, I will be made more inclined to pay, provided that I have got a lot-only a person does something “likes” during a week’s promotion campaign, they are more likely to buy it in the future, which can make the campaign more qualified.
Criticism focuses largely on promotion “Money Grab“For poshmark, which already takes a 20% deduction of your sales.
Other criticism comes from those who Did not notice an urgent In sales despite paying for promotion. I have some principles on it.
I sold within two days of promoting my closet. (I do a lot of sales, to be clear, but in the promotion dashboard, a good job of breaking the poshmark, which came clicked on the sale, especially.) I sold a pair of Guchi sunglasses in $ 115. It told me that I need to know who it is worth it, but I was also able to see on the dashboard which listing is getting the most impressions. Gucci, Prada, Alo, improvement, clouds, nikes, rings, and skims are all in the list. None of whom I am not doing pieces of shin or sharp fashion makes a single appearance. All this makes sense – and gives some clues of what kind of vendors should also be upset by promoting.
What do you think so far?
Publicity search results appear in the results, right? This means that if you are selling a lot of unknown brands or random goods, there is a high probability that some people will search for them during the period of your one week campaign.
One of the reasons for me choosing a poshmark compared to other resale apps such as depopes is that anything and everything eventually sells because the attention is not completely on the fabric – but it may take a little time. I have sold bobbleheads, electronics and notebooks, but they take longer to sell, saying, when I lie a skims T-shirt-because fewer people are looking for them. If whatever I sold, there were random doodads or brands of fabrics, which do not find much discovery traction, there would be no point in paying for publicity.
I’m not saying that you should not do List Unknown brand or random tchotchkes – but if all of this you are selling, publicity may not be worth it for you. If you have listing from famous, popular brands, promotion is a better idea.
In addition, the way you mean the price of your goods in this decision. If you sell because you want to clean your closet and you do not care much about getting back the real value of an item in sales, then I will not promote the closet. Many sellers have chosen the price of their goods cheaply, cleaning the chaos, or selling several listings at once to woo buyers. This is fine, but if you are working with $ 10 and $ 15 listing, it does not understand just to pay for it.
On my $ 115 sales, I earned $ 92 after the cut of the poshmark. My “spending” on promotion is about $ 9 till now, so if I was not using a free test, I will already come down for $ 83 profit. This is still not very bad, all things have been considered, but if my promotion sales were somewhat cheap, I can see how much of your earnings spent on the promotion campaign can actually eat quickly.
I to do Like this feature and will continue to use it, but only because I have many listings for high-composed, high-value items. If you do not have so, maybe stay away, although it cannot hurt to test free tests throughout the week.
