The photo is a very important element in generating sales quickly. It may even be the more important. A good photo is one that achieves show the value of an article. In other words, it's a photo that must stopping the buyer's eyeThe aim is to make people want to click, whatever the item (second-hand, new, vintage).

I still see far too many adverts placed with photos taken in the quick on which we sometimes don't distinguishes neither the brand nor the entire garment.

The criteria to follow to ensure your success photos and be worthy of a professional

• Luminosity : at best, take your photos when it's sunny. daybecause natural light gives better quality photos while still showing the true colour of your article. Otherwise, light your item as much as possible, avoiding projected shadows.

• Background Make sure you take photos with a white/neutral background White wall, white or wooden table, white door, light plaid to make the product stand out as much as possible. A more colourful background or wood can also be a good idea to make light-coloured clothes stand out.

• Focusing : take only the product photo and not your cat, your dog or your feet.

• The quantity Take several photos of your product: wide shot, close-up shot, logo photo, photo of labels, photo of the material, photo front and back.

• The setting A simple trick that works is to create a photo set with an example of a headquartersa planta plaida carpeta frame. The most important thing is to highlight the article by adding a personal touch recognisable from the articles published.

• The range you can also offer your item for sale with a sample outfit to tune it. If you are selling a grey jumperyou can put a jean clair underneath for an overall photo.

• The example set You can also propose photos of worn clothing. You can even set the scene if you like it, always highlighting the product of course, or use a mannequin/bust.

The more you showcase the product on yourself or in a setting, the faster it will sell. A good product folded, ironed, owntaken from all angles, showing the labelswith the daylight is ideal.

There are also applications to add a personal and professional touch to your photos, such as Photoroom and Collage Maker

For example, with Photoroom, you can add a visible promotion directly to your photos and change the background. This will immediately set you apart from the other sellers in the Vinted feed.

Collage Maker can help you create original photo montages like this. This is just one example of thousands of possibilities.

Rule number 2 - how to sell well on Vinted: add a precise title and a detailed description

There are two points to distinguish here: the title and description.

The title

It must include essential keywords related to the article, which will help it to stand out quickly in search results. It is therefore important to specify :

• The brand
• Type of product: t-shirt, trousers, jogging suit, jacket, etc,
• The model if it has a name: Veja Campo shoes, Off White Arrow T-shirt, 501 jeans, ...
• The size

You can add a word to describe your product such as: sublime, vintage, pretty/beautiful, small/small, winter, summer, flowing, perfect, comfortable, soft, warm, new, in very good condition, ...

Example: "Levis 501 straight jeans size 38 (W28 - L30) vintage in very good condition".

The description

First of all, always be honest and mention the slightest defect: a hole, a missing button, a cut label. That's better than a buyer's negative opinion.

I also think that a basic definition and claire is enough to sell quickly. You can adapt it as you wish and make your description more original.

The main elements to be mentioned are :

• Le type of product and its model
• A catchphrase with theadjective that best characterises it
• L'product condition
• La size
• The dimensions when it's a jumper, sweater or trousers,
• Indication of whether it has defects or not
• Le boutique price if you know him
• You can mention that lots are possible (to be activated in your settings) A sentence indicating that the potential buyers can contact you if they have any questions.

Example

"Jean Lévis 501 in very good condition, little worn.
Straight cut and vintage effect
It is a size 38 (W38 - L30) Dimensions :

Size: 38 cm
Length: 98 cm
No defects.
Lots are possible, so don't hesitate if you have any questions".

Rule number 3 - how to sell well on Vinted: use hashtags

To answer the question "How to sell well on VintedIt is essential to talk about the use of hashtags.

A hashtag (#) allows you to link a keyword to your article. You can add them at the end of your description. This will increase your visibility on Vinted. The more you add, the more potential views you'll get for your products.

When a buyer searches for a product in the search bar, he or she will type "Levis jeans", for example. #jeanlevisyour product will appear very quickly in the list of available results.

Some sellers use popular hashtags such as #nike or #balenciaga on a pair of Levi's jeans, leading a buyer looking for a Nike or Balenciaga product to come across your offer. Be careful, as Vinted tends to ban this type of practice.

Example

For a pair of Lévis jeans, you can wear : #jeanlevis #jeanwoman #jean38
#501
#jeanvintage #jeanlevis501 #jeanvintagefemme #jeanandroit #jeanclair #bleu
#blue jeans 1TP5Women's jeans 1TP5Light blue jeans #denim jeans 1TP5Vintage jeans 1TP5Women's jeans size 38

Rule number 4 - How to sell well on Vinted: set a fair price

The best way to determine the best price for your product is to compare the prices charged by other sellers for the same product. This will give you a trend to follow.

However, themistake not to make however is rely on what Vinted has to offer when choosing the price. The prices offered are the lowest that the application has recorded and do not take into account the condition of the product.

This is one of the reasons why misleads many novice users. There are a number of rules to consider when determining the right price:

• Le fair price must be less expensive than the price of new, unless there is a out of stock or that the product is a rare item.

• Your fair price must take account of what is available and must be either at the same priceor a little cheaper. If you are competing with products that are in good condition but you are selling new/very good condition products, your price must of course be higher. Your price must take into account margin you wish to obtain.

• If your fair price is 70 eurosput either 73 euros to obtain offers at 70 euros or, either 69 euros. The price of 69 euros is a psychologically more acceptable price than 70 euros, because our brain understands 60 euros and not 70 euros - 1 euro.

• Bear in mind that buyers on Vinted negotiate prices a lotSo you need to choose a price that, even after a discount, will still give you a good price. reasonable margin.

Rule number 5 - how to sell well on Vinted: using boosts, dressing rooms and republishing ads

You can use boosts to highlight an item, the price varies according to the price of the product and the duration (1.15 euro minimum). You can choose between a three-day or seven-day promotion period.

You can also put your dressing room ahead for 7 days at the price of 6.95 euros. This is useful when you have a lot of products to sell (more than 50 items). This function allows you to monitor various statistics such as the number of views and clicks on your items, and to adjust your prices accordingly.

Personally, I recommend using boosts when a product has not sold after one or two weeks, despite being republished or having many favourites.

At the same time, it is important to note that the publication of your products must be recentthe " published 6 months ago "This means that the product is either too expensive or not promoted enough.

The rule is systematically republish products that don't sell using your imagination to highlight them. You can make new product photostake photos with the garment worn and add a new description.

The important thing here is that the product is seen as a recent product and not as an online product that nobody has wanted for more than 6 months.

What's more, the more favourites, people interested in your articlesthe more likely it is that potential buyers will buy it from you.

NB products sell more easily in evenings, weekends and over the weekend. You can therefore prioritise publishing your products at these times.

Rule number 6 - How to sell well on Vinted: Reviews are very important

Have a profile with positive opinions is very important, as is the fact of having plain opinion. If you're just starting out and don't have any opinions at all, you can buy a "hand-delivered" product from someone you know or from the profile of someone in your town. That way you'll get your first notice very quickly.

If you're not in a hurry, just buy a product and wait for your first review. As there have been scams with fake accounts with no reviews, the fact that you have one automatically reassures you.

In addition, the positive opinions make it easier to take decisions for a future buyerIt's easier to buy an item from a profile that says "perfect", "Vinti(e) au top", "envoi rapide" than from a profile that says "n'a pas envoyé l'article", "vêtement reçu en mauvais état" and so on...

To get positive opinionsAs much as possible honest in your descriptions, and if a buyer is unhappy, it's best to offer an alternative. partial reimbursement by bank transfer PayPal or request the return of the item and repay in full the buyer.

Examples to avoid:

Rule number 7 - how to sell well on Vinted: offer discounts on lots

In the your account settingsyou can agree to make discounts on lots. It's also interesting for buyers than for sales because it helps you sell your products more quickly.

L'tips for selling in batches is to offer products with high prices as well as products with low prices (under €10). Buyers will be more inclined to offer bundles, adding inexpensive products to bring down the price of more expensive ones.

Rule number 8 - how to sell well on Vinted: offer the least expensive shipping method

When you post your ad, you have several choices concerning the package size and Vinted automatically recommends a delivery method.

Choose the smallest delivery method unless your item is very large. Visit shipping costs will therefore be lower, allowing faster sale. Personally, I've never had the slightest problem, even if the parcel exceeded the weight indicated.

Rule number 9 - how to sell well on Vinted: send parcels cleanly and quickly

Once you've sold your item, all you have to do is send it to the buyer. You have 2 days to download the dispatch note and 5 working days to send the parcel.

If you do not download the slipthe sale will be automatically cancelled at the end of the period. Similarly, for the delivery time from 5 working daysIf you do not send your parcel on time, the sale will be cancelled and you will receive a 1-star negative review. automatic assessment The sale did not go through".

Attention to this type of repetitive advice because it lowers your overall assessment and the number of stars you have. What's more, a unhappy buyer not having received your article can change the comment and explain why you didn't send it in a more radical way. You might as well avoid this and respect the delivery time.

The weekends are not included in the business daysHowever, you can still send your parcels on Saturday and sometimes even Sundays because some relays are open.

Also make sure you send your articles in the correct neatly packed parcelsin a cardboard or in a specific bag.

You can add personal touches with a quick note on the dispatch note for the buyer as well as goodies samples of beauty products, small sweets, etc.

You can also specify that your home is non-smoking and without animals if this is the case.

You can also ask people to subscribe to your profile because you publish regularly. You can also mention that you offer 10% discount for people who subscribe to your profile Vinted or Instagram. Personally, I'm able to sell without having hundreds of subscribers and I haven't linked my account to any of them either. Instagram with my sales profile on Vinted. It's a personal choice because I think that having the good products to sell is sufficient to obtain good results.

You can do everything you can to creativity andoriginality to describe your profile. A one-touch key and stylish helps you stand out from the crowd.

The example not to be followed

Rule number 11 - how to sell well on Vinted: Follow the trends and seasons

I'm fond of this quote: "Fashion goes out of fashion, style never does". This means that there are timeless colours and styles like black, white or denim. You'll always have a better chance of selling a classic pair of jeans than a pair with holes in them (unless it's the latest fashion). Hence the importance of following trends.

Choose plain colours as well as sizes S, M, L all genres combined. The pieces in demand also change every year, so before each season simply take a look at the what's new on fashion websites to get an idea. You might already have a few models in stock, forgotten in a cupboard.

Also take into account the weather and the seasons. There are 2 possible strategies :

1. Buy inexpensive out-of-season products and sell them for more at the right time. This will force you to store items for a few months. The advantage is that in the off-season, you're more likely to come across a down jacket or low-priced ankle boots than in the middle of winter.
2. Buy seasonal products for immediate resale:
   • In summer: target dresses, T-shirts, skirts, shorts, little cardigans, etc.
   • In winter: target jumpers, trousers, down jackets and coats, ski gear, scarves, hats, etc.
