I have been using the #depop platform since end of October, 2023, when #poshmarkau closed it's site 😭 Not to worry too much because Depop is awesome, too, just different - I wanted to share with You what I've learnt to become the 7421st seller out of 35 million, in 8 weeks.

How To Win At DEPOP!

Having attractive pictures certainly count as Everyone says.Options! Curation! Display Your Closet so People think "that bag, those shoes, that skirt" or "every different colour option!" They may still scroll on, but it's a lovely way to display Your wares. Think of how in department stores items are presented and how You can group things, even just to attract Customers.People may have found one item from Your shop somewhere on-site, then might look in Your store for a bundle. I find bundling shipping to be useful. I only express ship, when You explain it's tracked, good Custmoers agree to it.

Closet Looks

Go crazy liking things YOU LIKE as You will work with the supposed algorithm, attracting like minds to You. Like items, follow People Who seem to be doing what You think is fair. Just as You check out Other People's Closets when They like You, Others do the same. Also, You're helping their item to get circulated more, possibly end up on Depop favourites, more exposure means a chance to sell! Encourage Your friends to like Your items. Follow People Whose wardrobes You like, They may follow You back.

Liking Is Creating Your Algorithm, too

Sure, We all want to sell pricey items, but some People need or want inexpensive items for Themselves or gifts and You need to be there to provide.Depop takes a very small commission so it is easy to sell lower priced items.Hey, there may be some things that You'd normally be giving away - get some coins for them and deliver them in good condition to a new Home.You may have wholesale connections? Great! Sell on Depop and get a nice profit 📈 👍 Also, give discount always. It encourages sales AND multiple sales. Accept reasonable offers. Ignore dumb offers.

Workable Theory: Stack Em Deep, Sell Em Cheap

Support those Who support You, it's how small business runs. If the account doesn't show what You'd like to buy or sell, don't follow it. If it creeps You out or there are photos You don't like - don't follow.I also won't follow Someone with over-the-top prices, dirty/wrinkled looking clothing, or all size 6-8

Follow People Who Follow You

It is quite okay to have clutter on Depop, as long as it's not absolute crap. The standards are better than Marketplace. You are better off giving things away than having something that is out of line according to Your brand-style. You might think You are making money but ultimately if You stick to Your style, followers will notice.All Your new posts go to Your followers 🙄 and elsewhere! Be encouraged!I notice that if I start posting, I get follower traffic and likes on other items more frequently, too. So consider that You are being seen the more effort You put in.

Post As Often As Possible

On Depop, these are very useful. Clients do word and phrase sentence searches, You want to turn up in these if Your item is appropriate 😉 You can also tap hashtags to search that way.Hint : mention a word in the description, You don't need to repeat it in the hashtags or categories, all the options will come up in a search.Some types of items have a massive amount of options to scroll through.For the verbally able with specific and creative tendencies. You can research the types of fashion by googling it, if You don't already know!#doyoulikemyfashion #getlovedup❤️

Hashtags, DescriptionsAnd Categories 

When You've finished some good posts on Depop, advertise them on social media using the Depop graphic You can make by pressing the "share shop" button on Your profile 😀 Instagram for instance recognises visual display, especially company names in font. So Your Depop branded post will get extra views from that.Post regularly.A good idea is to post usual stuff during work time, then the Depop branded content, so People are actively looking at Your account. I have more information on getting an "easy" supportive audience. Only easy in spirit 💞💞💞 leave messages if You want to know My IG ride

Boosting Views

Do it. Depop lets You have 100 items discounted by the percentage You choose. I suggest 10%, then if Someone likes it, offer Them another 10%Clients don't necessarily want to feel They have paid an unfair price. Consider They will want to brag to Their Friends about the item and Their Friends may not be impressed with a $5 Tshirt.Secondhand items' value can be ascertained by a Google or eBay search. Pricing it down doesn't help anyone. You want Clients to believe You are selling worthy goods, not stolen or knock offs.If You have a knock off, mention it in the description.

Where To Find ME

I grew up working in Sales and it is a strong point of mine.If an online Customer is rude to Me, I block Them and never accept business from Them again. On Depop You can give feedback, too. I like to consider Myself "Amanda The Wheeler Dealer" and open to experiencing My shop as Fun with a capital F 😉 so I take risks and They pay off. If Someone is nice to Me, I'll go out of My way for Them.Always be polite and don't tell Customers Your problems 🙂 Get back to Them as quickly as possible - remember - for sales You want that dopamine firing 🔥 each bip on a phone does that!Share 💞 🙏

Customer Service

This demographic of folks love scrolling, absorbing knowledge, searching, buying stuff to make Themselves feel good, love that dopamine hit Apps give Them, love online and sometimes deliveries, too!If You can make sure the end process is as exciting as the online process, You will score repeat Customers. Ecological and hygienic wrapping, free gifts, a handwritten note and a printed invoice, plus of course getting the item in good condition will help You get a good review and 5 stars 🌟 🤩 I like to inform a Customer about the product, which also helps the description come up in a Google search

Age Demographic 16-35

The AI suggested reposting items works as well as new posts. All You need to do is change the post and resave it.I suggest if it hasn't sold - adding to the description, more photographs, changing the categories and lastly reducing the price.It seems if You move around items in Your Closet (You need a PC to do this) this causes more interest, too. I get good sales when I do this. It could mean, I'm guessing, that it moves in it's priority when a Customer is searching on the site.No work on Closet = No salesThe PC version has more abilities for People Who are running a business through Depop.

Maintainence

Chat to People if They ask questions, be transparent about where You obtained Your stock (You don't have to be specific). They have no right to ask financial details. The age demographic on Depop immediately puts it in to a different category of how business is dealt with. In this way, it is much more relaxed and fun is encouraged.Offer Your Customers entertaining experiences and They will respond.There are creeps everywhere these days, including Depop, just make sure as a Seller You don't get involved with illegal matters! There will be Children and Paedophiles, You still need to be polite.
