Great tips! I am hosting a birthday party live show and shamelessly self promoting it here because if you have a posh question, I would love to answer it during the party!

Good Tip! Over the Holidays it would be nice if Poshmark did $5.95 shipping; it would encourage sales. Almost $8 shipping is discouraging to a lot of would be buyers.

@dolphinbay3 girlll, you took the words right out my mouth loll. Now that'd be nice... Heyy gotta think tho, well at least for ambassadors they were discounting shipping till 12/31/24 @11:59pm. But we all seen how that went. 😬
😂😂 Fr tho, I genuinely appreciate your clever simple comment, it was epic & absolutely hilarious!
Wishing you MANY Happy & SPEEDY Sales!! 🥳🛍️🤑

It definitely can be discouraging with low viewers. I've had many many shows where I only had one other person, but I always finish the tray at least. Keep Going :)

Hi, thank you for sharing this great tip. It was something I learned later that I wish I had learned sooner. During the lower viewer part of your Live Show journey is the best time to build meaningful relationships. These are the people who will be there whether you have 10 or 100 viewers. People will outlast purchases!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@tuohys Create a listing with “Giveaway” in the listing title and add it to your show.
Tap the Giveaway icon and select the duration to start. I believe it’s 1 min, 2 mins, 5 mins and 10 mins options.
Dec 10Reply

luckydream
During that time while the giveaway is running, you can tell your viewers more about your closet,etc. Remind viewers that they have to be present in order to have a chance to win. If they leave the show and come back they’ll have to reenter. It’s free shipping for them. If you want, encourage winner to bundle from your closet since winner gets free shipping 😊
Dec 10Reply

@tuohys The 5 Sec counter pops up automatically followed by the wheel and winner will be randomly chosen. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.🥰🍀🎄🛍

@dolphinbay3, that would be a great idea, to lower shipping, the high shipping cost is hard for some shoppers if they are purchasing just a low price item. High shipping costs don't motivate people to bundle either.
Dec 10Reply

dragonangel75
@closetofchaos23 Same here it gets frustrating but i do the same, and if anyone is like me lol people are usually strapped for cash around the holidays, if i keep these things in mind I don't get as frustrated!!!! and i have met some pretty awesome people!

@breezy8312 yes even with a low cost item the high shipping usually stops me from buying, kinda sucks

neatrepeats
@luckydream even though the buyer gets free shipping from the freebie, isn’t the shipping paid for by the seller? They give away an item and pay shipping out of pocket. That was how I understood it. I didn’t think Posh was paying the shipping for the free item. Please elaborate. I haven’t done it yet
Dec 10Reply

@surelymine
Dec 10Reply

luckydream
@neatrepeats Yes, you’re right. The seller pays for the shipping out of pocket. The winner gets free shipping. The way I understood the perk was that since they’re getting free shipping it giving them an incentive to bundle and purchase items from your closet.
Dec 10Reply

luckydream
@neatrepeats I know when Posh first rolled this feature out, they gave sellers until 11/24 to try the giveaway feature and would reimburse the first time shipping cost. I don’t know if they’re going to do this again. Hope this helps. Perhaps, another Posher can also weigh in and correct me if I’m wrong. 😊🍀🛍

Dec 11Reply

@secondjam yep I agree but it's the post office rates that keep going up and I don't understand why if a buyer chooses to buy more than 5 lb the seller has to pay the extra shipping I cannot afford to do that

@dolphinbay3 When posh recently had its $1.99 shipping thanksgiving week I finally made sales through a live. I didn’t have much ppl at peek (7ppl) but 1 person bought 3 things because shipping was only $2. Having no one buy or only 3ppl in your show can be discouraging. Free shipping definitely help but it’s even better when it’s a Posh Promotion because sellers can give better deals & don’t have to worry about extra money coming out of their pocket to cover shipping discount. @poshshowshub

Dec 11Reply

@aliciagreen472 Im the same way and I’ve been doing lives on and off for 2 years. I have to psych myself out, go pee like 3 times (just me?)🤣 and then when I turn the camera on I try not to look at myself and just pretend I’m talking to someone I know about clothes and keep it moving. Sometimes it works, sometimes I end really fast. I’m always proud of myself for trying though 🫶🏼
