Did you know that most sales on all marketplaces come from seller-initiated offers?
In the fast-paced world of reselling, every move you make can directly impact your sales. One of the most powerful strategies that resellers often overlook is sending offers to likers or watchers.
Whether you’re an experienced seller or just starting, understanding why sending offers is crucial—and how Vendoo makes this easier than ever with both manual and automatic offer features—can help you maximize your profits and grow your reselling business.
💡Tip: You want to send offers to likers as soon as possible after they “like” or “watch” your item. The goal is to catch them while they’re still on their phones and why interest is hot. If they’re considering multiple items, you want to be the first offer they get!
When a potential buyer “likes” or “watches” an item, they show interest but might not be ready to commit. Sending offers is a direct way to turn that interest into a sale. Here’s why sending offers is such a game-changer:
Ready to automate sending offers and make more sales than ever?
Vendoo’s Send Offers Feature lets you send discounts directly to people who have liked your listings on multiple marketplaces: eBay, Depop, Mercari, and Poshmark- all right from Vendoo!
And the best part? You don't have to lower your public price, so you still get top dollar. Send Offers is your ticket to more sales without the tedious and time-consuming manual process. 🎟️
Sending OTL (offers to likers) is one of the most important things you can do on Poshmark. On Poshmark, most sales are a result of a seller-initiated offer.
On Poshmark, offers to likers must be at least 10% below the current listing price or any former offer received by the same liker within 90 days. You can send different offers to different likers on the same item.
Poshmark’s offer system allows you to send different offers to different likers on the same item, as long as the offer is at least 10% below any former offers received by the same liker within 90 days.
