How to share poshmark on instagram
4 easy steps (double 2021 sales)
In Poshmark’s own 2020 annual report, they claim that 57% of shoppers under 24 discover new clothing purchases via influencers on social platforms. Instagram is becoming the number one channel for potential customers to discover your brand, and your Poshmark closet is no exception.
While making an Instagram profile is easy, it can be hard to use the platform to its fullest and really gain significant traction. Luckily, we have a few tips to maximize the traffic you can drive from people browsing on Instagram and turn them into customers for your Poshmark store.
Poshmark Instagram Tip 1 — Make an Instagram Account Just for Your Poshmark Closet
Trying to balance personal posts about your life with business posts about your Poshmark store can be hard to manage. On top of that, it just sends mixed signals to new followers who want to see your closet’s inventory, and might also annoy friends and family who follow you too.
Instagram lets you link up to five accounts with one login, so instead we recommend making a new profile just for your Poshmark closet and switching between the two (it's very easy!) You can also manage your preferences separately, so you can keep your posts private on your personal Instagram, while your business profile can (and should be!) public to browse.
This means that you can also focus on making your Instagram profile a hub for advertising and driving customers to your Poshmark closet. You can also dedicate your photo feed to posting pictures of your inventory, so scrolling through your profile becomes more of a catalogue to engage both new and old customers.
This might seem obvious to some, but not everyone is aware! Instagram allows for you to put one link to an external site in your profile, so you should definitely be linking to your Poshmark closet!
Here's how to add your Poshmark link to Instagram in 4 easy steps:
- Go to your own profile
- Select "Edit Profile"
- In the "website" field, add a link to your Poshmark store (or website)
- Select "Done" to save your changes
Beyond just the simple link to your Poshmark storefront, many poshers choose to use a service like bit.ly, TinyURL, or Rebrandly to create a custom shortlink to their Poshmark closet.
Beyond a nice, sleek looking link, it also has another great added benefit — you can now also easily track clicks on the link in your instagram profile. This works because before the Instagram user is redirected to your page on Poshmark, they briefly go through the URL shortener’s website to be counted. This makes it much easier to actually measure what your Instagram traffic looks like!
Share up to 28,000 times a week, without doing anything

No credit card requiredPoshmark Instagram Tip 3 — Advertise Your Poshmark Referral Code in Your Bio
As mentioned above, Instagram profile pages only allow you to put one link. However, your bio section can still have other text, which means you can put your referral code there for visitors to see.
Also, make sure to explicitly call out that they can get $10 off by using the code. This is money that Poshmark provides to new customers to encourage them to keep using Poshmark. It doesn’t cost you anything to give out, but you have everything to gain by using it as a tool to convince potential buyers!
For example, Karissa (@itsheykrisgurl) does a great job of this in her bio.
Poshmark Instagram Tip 4 — Post New Arrivals To Your Poshmark Closet on Instagram First
A great way to engage with your audience and to give them a reason to follow you on Instagram (which they likely check more often than Poshmark itself) is that they get early access to your inventory.
Conveniently, if you planned on posting the item to Poshmark soon anyway, you can easily just re-use the photo for Instagram. For the photo’s caption, make sure to specifically call out that it is a new item to your Poshmark closet, and that you wanted to list it on Instagram first exclusively for your followers to get a sneak peak.
You really want to drive home the point here, because as we mentioned, that’s one of the main incentives to follow your account.
Poshmark Instagram Tip 5 — Switch it up: Model Your Poshmark Outfits and Use Creative Scenes
Sometimes seeing the outfit lying out on a table works, but from our experience, Poshmark resellers have a lot more success by adding some vibrance and pizzazz to their pictures.
One great way to improve your closet photos is simply by modeling the item you plan to sell, along with well coordinated accessories. For example, if you want to sell some high waisted jeans, don’t just limit yourself to focusing on the jeans. Especially on Instagram, you will benefit by pairing the photo with a cute top, and explaining to your followers in the post’s caption what other clothing combos you think go well with the jeans you are trying to sell.
Cute outfit, Tomiko! We love your jeans! 💕You can also spice up photos of the items lying flat by getting an elegant background.
For example, you can buy glossy contact paper that looks like marble (our fav here.) We've also seen wonderful backgrounds with wooden patterns. Wood veneer is a great cheap option, and it is widely available.
Lots of Poshmark sellers also pair photos of their inventory with thematically relevant items. For example, if you plan on selling a pair of yoga pants on Poshmark, you can also include a yoga mat or a small weight in the photo. There are lots of ways to be creative here, so the sky's the limit!
Poshmark Instagram Tip 6 — Have a Mix of both Instagram Stories and Posts
While making Instagram posts are a great way to build up a catalogue and establish social proof that you are a “legit” seller, Instagram stories allow for a super interesting way to give a “behind the scenes” look at what you do.
While this might sound like a lot of work, it really isn’t! You actually do a ton of interesting stuff without realizing it; picking outfits, planning a photo shoot, and packing items are all things you do already when managing your Poshmark closet and fulfilling orders.
Now just film it! Especially as you become more serious about reselling and you start stocking up on your inventory, you’ll find that many potential fans are fascinated just by the sheer number of clothes you’ve got lying around.
Going to your favorite thrift store? That can be a story. Going to a swap meet? Instagram story. Laying out all the outfits to take photos? You already know what to do.
You can go even further to maximize some of your favorite stories by saving some of them into a highlight that is then viewable on your profile. Our favorite is to make a highlight called “Behind the Scenes” to gather together all of the best snaps of what life is like as a posher. The feature works a lot like folders, so that you can group similar stories into the same highlight. Play around and be creative!
Note that while saving some content as a highlight, you shouldn’t save all of it. There are two main reasons for this:
- You don’t want your highlights to be so long that people can’t watch it all
- You want your highlights to truly be that — highlights.
What does the best of your Poshmark closet look like? - If people browsing Instagram can see all your stories on your profile, there’s no incentive to follow you for additional content
Poshmark Instagram Tip 7 — Plan your Hashtags to Seriously Increase Your Poshmark Sales
While your followers on Instagram will see your posts, you want to also use Instagram to grow your following, which means that you need users who don’t follow you to see your content. This is where hashtags come in.
What this means is that for every hashtag (for example, #poshmark) that you include, people will be able to see your post under that hashtag in Instagram’s Explore page. Some Instagram users also opt to follow hashtags and topics, as well as following other users, so these people might see your hashtagged posts in their feed as well.
Using hashtags on Instagram is something between a science and an art, and the best practices are constantly evolving. Right now (as of 2021,) Instagram allows for 30 hashtags per post, and putting the hashtags in the comments or the main post description should allegedly have the same impact.
So for every post, that is an opportunity to expand your post’s reach to up to 30 additional hashtags.
Share up to 28,000 times a week, without doing anything
Join hundreds of sellers who trust SuperPosher to grow their business. Every day SuperPosher can do up to 4,000 shares, follow hundreds of users, return shares & follows, and even send offers to likers. You just have to turn it on from your phone.
No credit card requiredBut how do you pick the best hashtags to use? Well that gets to be interesting. There are several tools out there on the market (SproutSocial, Kenshoo, Keywordtool.io) that call themselves “instagram keyword planning tools” that can help with this process. Essentially they all work very similarly: you give them a general topic you want to target, and they’ll give you a list of potential hashtags to use.
Let’s go back to our example of high waisted denim jeans. I’ll start with my keyword search being general and just type “jeans,” which gives me a list of hashtags.
You might think that just picking the hashtag with the top number of posts is best, but that’s not always true. In this example, that’s likely not the case: #jeansmurah is a Malaysian jean store, so the followers of that hashtag may not be your target audience. We don’t want to just use all the hashtags, because remember, we can only do 30 per post.
Instead, I see some interesting hashtag suggestions here that I would not have thought of myself. Both “#jeans👖” (the pants emoji is part of the hashtag) and “#jeansandheels” seem to have a fairly high number of posts, and are pretty relevant to what I am trying to advertise about the item I hope to sell on Poshmark. In fact, the “#jeansandheels” hashtag gives me some inspiration for what to pair my jeans with in my photo of the item!
I can repeat this process with other high level terms (#fashion, #pants, #cute, #poshmark) as well, or even explore other users’ posts using the hashtags I just found, and see what other hashtags they used.
Another great way to look for potential hashtags is by exploring our list of popular brands on Poshmark. It might even help inform which brands to thrift for to later use for reselling and Instagram marketing.
While this sounds a bit labor intensive (and truth be told, it kinda is,) you shouldn’t need to do this every time you post. While all posts should have hashtags, you will find that you can reuse the same sets frequently. Just keep a note on your phone where you paste all of your frequently used hashtags, and come back to them later to copy and paste back into Instagram when you are ready to post again.
While planning your own hashtags, we suggested looking at posts that are highlighted for the hashtags you are doing research on. While you’re there, do one more thing — leave a comment!
The people who are already making posts on Instagram with hashtags like “#jeans👖” might be the perfect customer to become interested in the jeans I hope to later sell on Poshmark.
So instead of waiting for this person to happen upon your content in their feed, you can like their post and leave a comment, both of which will actually send that user a notification.
At this point, a lot of poshers who are less familiar with Instagram make a tragic mistake — they turn into a salesperson.
Nobody likes it when you comment on their photo with something like “I’m selling pants, check out my Poshmark store, link in bio.” While Instagram is littered with this type of content, it’s incredibly low value, and simply is not effective. This doesn’t drive follows or purchases, it just feels like spam.
Instead, focus on the mindset of providing value to this person. It could be a very simple value-add, like making them feel good. “Hey, you look great in that blouse, I love the way you paired it with your belt!” Or perhaps you try to be helpful by saying something like “Love those shoes! I think they’d look great with these Madewell jeans I have, let me know if you want to see them!”
If you want, you can even take the conversation to their direct messages (DMs) and dive even deeper.
I once had another posher direct message to let me know that they looked through a few of my posts, and they had an item that they felt matched perfectly with one of my favorite button ups that I clearly am wearing in several of my photos. I was stunned at how thoughtful that was, and I immediately checked out their Poshmark closet via the link in their bio.
Value add comments like this take a bit more time, but not that much. It only takes 3 seconds or so to skim the last 9 or so posts on a profile, and that’s often enough to see something worth making a comment or a direct message about.
Authors like Gary Vaynerchuk drive home the importance of commenting by coining phrases like the “18 cent method.” That is, you should be leaving your “2 cents” in the comments for various hashtags relevant to what your Poshmark store sells around nine times a day. (While nine is an arbitrary number Gary picked because that’s 3 rows of 3 photos, and you can choose to do less, we agree that making more meaningful comments can never hurt!)
Once you comment or message another Instagram user who you think can be a buyer, we’d also recommend you follow them! While this is just your business account and you may not actively scroll through all of your followers’ posts, people often will follow back if you interact with them and then follow them too.
Even if your comment didn’t directly yield a sale, you can often boost your follower numbers, which then ultimately increase your reach and your chance of a future sale.

Did you know that Instagram is one of the most popular platforms used by poshers to generate more sales? Clothing purchases especially lend themselves to Instagram exposure.
And yet, there are still so many Poshmark sellers out there not taking advantage of this free form of marketing.
Think about your own online/mobile behavior. You likely spend a lot of time on your social media accounts. And, if something catches your eye by way of a deal or an item being promoted, you probably take a second look. So while a user may not be in the market for a certain item that you currently have featured in your Poshmark closet, if they happen to come across it on Instagram and the item intrigues them, they may just become a buyer!
The question is, how do you maximize Instagram to gain greater exposure for your reselling business? In this article we look at ways that you can utilize the power of Instagram to drive users to your Poshmark business.

Create a Separate Instagram Account for Your Poshmark Business
If you already have a personal Instagram account, it is most likely populated by personal pics, thoughtful reflections, life events and so forth.
All of a sudden trying to turn that account into that which is meant to drive traffic to your Poshmark closet could lead to a confusing and cluttered Insta account.
Keep in mind that Instagram does allow you to have five accounts with a single login. Therefore, it is easy to create a brand new profile specifically for promoting your Poshmark endeavor. This way too, if you do create a separate Poshmark business profile, you can keep that public without compromising the privacy of your personal account.
Once you’ve established that separate Poshmark / Insta account, you can now focus heavily on advertising your business. Post photos of current items in your closet. Offer deals and promos. Get creative here with how you use this Instagram account to help boost your closet sales.
Instagram allows you to put one link in your bio. Especially in creating a separate account just for your Poshmark business, you want to be sure to include a link specifically to your Poshmark store.
Adding a link is pretty easy. Simply go to your Instagram profile and select “edit.” Within the website field input the link to your Poshmark store. And then just save your changes. Your Poshmark closet link is now active within your Instagram profile.
While yes, you can only include one link in your bio, you do have the chance to include your Poshmark referral code and make that visible to those who follow you on Instagram. Consequently, let them know that by using the code they get a discount. For users new to Poshmark, this referral code will get them $10 off. Poshmark does this for brand new buyers in an effort to encourage future buying activity. The great thing is, as a seller it costs you nothing to utilize this referral code. It really is a win-win and can work wonders when used in conjunction with your Instagram account.
Make your Instagram followers feel special by showcasing those new Poshmark arrivals on Instagram first.
You might even offer them a “sneak peek” and generate more traffic that way. People love being the first to get access to exclusive offers—your Instagram account is a great place to feature such exclusives.
And when you offer early access via Instagram, make sure to really spend some time thinking about that caption. Expressly mention that the item is brand new, maybe even “never before seen.” Also, make sure that your Insta followers know that it is in fact an exclusive post just for them. This will get people excited about your closet and also give them a reason to follow your Instagram account.
Sure, you can do a flat lay of an item from your Poshmark closet and then snap the photo. And certainly, Instagram users might respond positively, but getting creative with how you model and showcase your items always works more effectively.
You can either model the clothes yourself, ask a friend to help, or you might invest in some form of mannequin to help give your closet and clothes that professional edge.
Also, think about photo backgrounds. Is there any way you can make them more vibrant and exciting?
Another thing you can do as far as creativity is concerned is to combine related items into one post. You could then offer the combination as a package deal.
Using social media to enhance Poshmark sales just makes sense. It costs you nothing and is a great way to build a following!
Rounding up
Do you have a bespoke Instagram account purely for your Poshmark business? Let us know over on our Instagram page and we may even highlight you to all our customers!
Using other social platforms to guide buyers to your store isn’t anything new, but like all platforms – consistency is key – so if you do run an IG purely for Poshmark, make sure you keep it fairly updated!

best ecommerce platform 2022
Mercari vs Poshmark are incredible ecommerce platforms that people thrive on these days, but which of these services should you go for?
While the coronavirus pandemic has largely caused one or two lockdowns in most cities around the world, the massive increase in e-commerce trading is not unexpected.
Now that people are leaning towards e-commerce platforms - not only as a safer option, but as a simpler and perhaps even faster one - comparisons between different e-commerce services will inevitably be made.
Two of these e-commerce platforms have been gaining popularity in recent months and climbed to the top of the e-commerce platform rankings; Mercury, Poshmark and the debate has flared up over which one offers the best services and policies in 2022.
M
Erkari vs. Poshmark: Battle for SupremacyDo you feel like you have too much junk, unused and obsolete items? Don't throw them away, I think it might give you an idea of how many people are looking for that particular item. Make a quick buck! Sell online.
Or you have a shop next door. How much would you make if your clothes were seen by millions of people every day instead of a couple of hundred people who just walk in and stare at them, internet marketing is a rage and you know it.
In this article, I will tell you about the battle between Mercury and Poshmark, so you know which one is best for today in 2022. Read on for facts and insights about what will land you on each of these platforms.
Mercury : Overview
Founded by Shintaro Yamada, the popular e-commerce application was launched in July 2013 in a relatively short period of time and has become the most popular seller in Japan for the buyer.
It has since spread to other countries, including the US and the UK. This partnership with UPS FedEx and other shipping agencies shows that buying and selling overseas is not a hassle.
Its main product is, of course, the Macari mobile app, available for download on iOS and Android devices.
Poshmark : Review
Manish Chandra launched the 2011 Porsche Macan. Since then, he has carved a niche for himself in the e-commerce sector. Poshmark focuses more on sales of clothing and accessories than any other product.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD E-COMMERCE PLATFORM?
In order to accurately judge the battle between Mercari and poshmark, we must first know the aspects of the online marketing platform that are necessary in order to satisfy both buyers and sellers on the platform. A good e-commerce platform should have a large customer base and be easy for you, the user, to use.
- Available audience (the more people use the platform, the more likely you are to sell your clothes).
- Commission for sales and delivery. (more commission means less profit)
- Payment time. (How long does it take to make a profit.)
- Promotion and reviews. (Most likely, you are not the only one selling what you are selling. What can you do to beat the crowd)
AVAILABLE AUDIENCE
MERCARI
Given the huge customer base in Japan (94% of online shoppers in Japan use Mercari), the Mercari app has amassed over 100 million downloads worldwide. The Mercari brand has been gaining momentum in recent months in other countries, especially in the United States.
Apart from the nuclear device, the demand for a wide variety of products is considerable. Sports equipment, jewelry, gadgets, and simple clothing are the most common items on sale.
Mercari has a big advantage over other e-commerce sites with a user friendly and easy to use mobile app. Most other eCommerce apps are buggy and hard to work with.
POSHMARK
Poshmark is the smallest dog on the market with over 55 million users in total (I said "just").
However, this is offset by a more specialized market. In 2022, Poshmark will become the best online store for clothing and clothing accessories.
Sales and shipping commission
Mercari
Mercari receives a 10% discount on all items sold. Ads are completely free and easy to curate. The site boasts a huge number of delivery options. There is even an option where sellers can choose to pay shipping for their buyers.
POSHMARK
List items completely free of charge. The commission they charge is higher (20%) than in America (15%) for items over $15. It has a flat rate shipping of $7.11 for sales under 5 pounds and $2.11 for sales under 5 pounds. Poshmark uses USPS Priority Mail so you don't have to worry about slow delivery.
Payout Time
Mercury
Contrary to other opinions, as a buyer, the fraud rate on this platform is the lowest I have seen on any ecommerce platform in this regard. However, in order for this to remain possible, there is a small drawback.
The downside is that payments can be delayed by a few days because the buyer has to confirm that what he/she bought arrived successfully in good condition. If the buyer does not rate the seller or forgets it, the funds will be returned after 5 business days.
ARE THERE MEN ON THE MERCARI?
Well, there are people out there who want to scam you, but in recent months Mercari has caught a lot of speculation from the scammers.
To solve this problem, along with new policies, they created a feature where buyers and sellers must rate each other's services.
This helps staff know whose products are being sold for a real purchase and who is ready to commit fraud.
Poshmark
Poshmark payments are quick and easy. Payments processed immediately after purchase, full stop, no refunds.
Mercari
Mercari is gaining momentum in the e-commerce industry by constantly implementing free and fair policies. Mercari runs free promotions from time to time for various reasons, including huge holiday discounts, to the delight of its patrons.
It's easy and fast to promote your listings (for a small fee) by offering your product to many buyers who want to buy. It also boasts a private chat platform that allows you to communicate privately with potential buyers.

Poshmark
Poshmark is more like a social site, although it sounds good, it means that you need to put in more effort and time to attract customers.
Comments and reviews can make or break you. In terms of policies, Poshmark has introduced a large number of terms and improvements to improve the customer experience.
Poshmark has a reputation for providing poor customer service. It's hard to post your stuff on Poshmark, it's best to share your outfits to other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Conclusion
Given all this information, it's up to you to choose which one best suits your requirements. The best e-commerce service has definitely won the Mercury vs.
