Seasonality on Poshmark

[chapeaunoir]

Keep off-season listed in the closet or just archive it for next season? Any thoughts? 

One concern I have is the time it takes to share the stuff, and if Poshmark starts relegating stuff with no shares or interest (i.e., if one lets it float to the bottom) - OK, that's two concerns - I'm not sure if the second is relevant or not.

How do you archive on Posh? Heck, I just sold another Christmas item last week.

I archive them myself - Just c/p listing and photos into a directory. I've still got winter stuff running and sold a coat a few days ago, but I'm thinking about March and beyond. Just wondered what people here did. It's the sharing that takes up so much time.

I agree about the sharing, but as I do I can see that a lot of poshers are sharing and liking items that I haven't shared for days or weeks. So they are doing searches.
I do share to the parties, but no longer take the time to share my whole closet daily. I guess that I should, but don't have that much time.

That's why I wouldn't mind a smaller closet - it takes too long to share. Sales are down, too.

I keep everything listed. Granted my closet isn't as big as some of yours... but there's always somebody looking for something in the off season, and since it doesn't cost anything to keep the listings active there I figure why not.

One thing I'm curious about: when I look at someone's closet I almost always sort by "Just In" or "Price Low to High". Do other people do this? I rarely look at the default setting because I just assume they've shared the beejeebus out of everything to parties and followers, so the "Just Shared" sort is pretty meaningless. Am I missing something here?

Right now, I'm letting the winter stuff sink to the bottom and not sharing it. I share my full closet 1 X per day, and sections periodically through the day. I sometimes share to parties, but mostly just Men's, Jeans, Shoes, Kids, etc. I don't share to the "Fabulously-Girlie-Pink-Boss" type parties.

When I'm looking for something, I search by section (tops, dresses, jeans, etc.) and my size. I don't have time to sort through tons of cute stuff and realize it won't fit me.

FWIW, I've basically lived in jeans an t-shirts for the majority of my life...until I started selling on Poshmark. I've bought more girl-clothes in the last 6 months than I ever have! lol I even bought (oh horror!) a SKIRT!!! And I had to have these cute ankle boots to go with it! GAH! I'm turning into a GIRL!

That's my thinking, too - I figure if I'm going to blow all of this time sharing, I may as well make it effective and not contribute to having the same shirt shared 169784 times.

Sometimes I don't know what these party themes even are! 

I've gotten tired of the frumptastic cargos and T shirts/running shirts lifestyle I've been stuck in and am actually purchasing some cool stuff. I used to dress better but the DH is so critical and sniffy - but I've recently told him to just look away if he just can't stand how I look, I'm brushing up my image in homage to hitting retirement age and don't want to hear it. Losing 10 lb might bring me to fashion's front door again. You should see the cat eye sunglasses I bought on Posh lol!
