How To Get Your Closet Noticed

Everyone says to share share share. And you should, because that is a nice thing to do. And when people return the favor, all of their followers see your listings. This is a huge help, especially if you are new and don't yet have thousands of followers. 

But I like to be more purposeful with my shares. Here is a strategy that I use whenever I have 30 minutes or more to spend "poshing."

Get your closet set up. Nicest items at the top. If you are having a sale, or want to specify that you follow all of the Poshmark rules, put a listing near the top with that information. Now you are ready to invite people in. 

How do you invite people in? First, you have to follow them. When they follow you back, share 3-5 of their items. Most folks will return the favor. And if they share your first few items and those items interest them, they may decide to stay and browse your closet. 

There are several ways you can go about your following and sharing. You can either follow tons and tons of people or you can target folks who are active at that moment. Or, you can even target your style mates. 

Follow Active Poshers
Attend the parties! Most Poshers are logged in and sharing during party times, 12pm, 3pm, and 10pm EST. Follow party hosts. Follow folks who are sharing to the parties. If you are already following lots of people, you can find active Poshers by refreshing your feed. See who is sharing at that moment and share some of their items. 

Follow Lots of Poshers
Search for "follow game" and "follow, like, share" and join in. Depending on the closet, these posts can generate hundreds, even thousands of followers. Make sure you follow the host and everyone else who liked the post before you. Like the post so future Poshers will follow you. 

You can also visit a "Power Closet". That's what I call Poshers who have 75k followers or more. Usually party hosts fall in this category. Click on their "followers" or "following" lists and just go down the list and follow everyone until your fingers get tired. 

Follow Your Style Mates
Search for items you love and filter by your own size. Follow everyone who has posted or liked those items. These are your style mates. 

The more you follow and share the more traffic you will get in your own closet.  And if your first several listings look good, folks will stay and have a look around! 

After you have built up a good following, rearrange your listings and invite people in again. That way folks who did not stay and browse the first time they visited your closet will see what else you have to offer. Repeat often!
