Discover the secrets to crafting a winning listing with these expert tips. From attracting more views to sealing the deal with potential buyers, these tried and tested strategies are sure to help you achieve a successful sale.
Choose brands wisely - Well-known and trendy brands sell quickly due to their popularity. Buyers are more likely to search for recognizable brands and find your item. Check out our list of Most Loved Brands on the Redspur homepage
Track trends and sell seasonally - On Redspur's homepage, you'll find Trending Categories which can help you stay updated on what's popular among buyers on our platform. Take note of the fashion trends that you observe in your daily life and tailor your listings accordingly. Additionally, it's a good idea to sell seasonally by offering items that are relevant to the current weather conditions. For instance, you can sell jackets in the fall and hunting gear around the hunting season to target the right audience and boost your sales.
Markdowns - Pay attention to popular selling seasons such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Labor Day, etc. Consider offering discounts during these seasons.
Describe in detail and mention flaws - When listing your item, use the description to capitalize on popular searches. What are buyers typing in to search for your item? Make sure to be very honest, and include all tears, holes, and missing buttons in your listing. Use hashtags too! For example #workwear, #summer, #(brandname), etc. This will also help potential buyers find your listings.
Price fairly - To increase your chances of a quick sale, it's a good idea to check out prices for similar items on Redspur and other marketplaces. Setting your price below the average can make your item more attractive to potential buyers. On the other hand, setting your price too high may deter buyers from choosing your listing. Finding a good balance in between is a wise strategy to ensure your item sells at a fair price.
Respond quickly and provide good service - It's essential to be responsive to all inquiries, keep your buyer informed as you ship, and always maintain a friendly attitude. Developing a positive relationship with your buyers can significantly enhance customer satisfaction, generate positive reviews, and even turn them into repeat customers.
Maintain your pieces - Keep your pieces in tip-top shape for your buyer. We recommend ironing them before photographing. For clothing items, it's important to wash them and remove all pet hair.
Engage with others on Redspur - Follow people and grow your community.
Promote and share on social - You can promote your shop through your socials. Post your listings to your IG, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and Facebook! This will help capture the attention of a highly active buying audience and boost your sales. Include #Redspur or #RedspurFinds in your posts. Consider creating an Instagram story highlight, a TikTok or YouTube playlist, or a Pinterest board for your listings that way your followers can easily view your #Redspur listings on socials. We recommend linking to your Redspur shop in your social bio, to make it easy for your audience to navigate to your shop after seeing your content.
