    Love this video! I’m a part time reseller with a very busy full time job as a Controller. I have been batching everything for several years. I hang up everything, steam it all, then photograph it all and then I record each item and its measurements and inventory bin in a notebook all together as the next step. The notebook goes everywhere with me. If I’m waiting at a drs office, I pull it out and list, before bed, pull it out and list, sitting at a bookstore waiting on a kid, pull it out and list, on a break at work, pull it out and list. I’m a paper and pencil gal and it works for me SO well and helps me maximize those small windows of time in my day.

    Fanastic video! I started assembly line processing and I was impressed how much time it saved. First I batch photography then batch measure evening. Next I add everything to my crosslisting program and the lastly I batch fold and package everything. I sometimes dread the monotony but reminding myself of the time savings is usually enough to get it accomplished. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Mogi Beth! Thank you for video! I make pictures with measurements - I think it saves time ( you don't have to write in every listing) and also you protect yourself from disputes with buyers - you provide all measurements in real life.

    As someone who has always sourced higher-value items front the beginning - it's what drew me to reselling in the first place, here's one of the high impact things I learned. While my closet / store leans $50 profit and up - with a lot of over $100 sales, the smaller sales help drive sales too. I have noticed there are weeks out of the year - usually occuring in the same months (not Christmas time either unless it's high value vintage or NWT), where high dollar buyers are my primary customer, and then there are other times when it's everyday people who need things. Those lower dollar items keep the algorithm going. Lower dollar being $40+ sales price. My recommendation is to make sure that you have some of those items in your store too. Wealthy people are good with their money and are not always shopping and they are only a small percentage of potential customers. Also, the better the presentation, the more money you can sell an item for. I notice it all the time in my store.

    Do you think that having fewer photos will negatively affect sales? It seems like all the platforms really encourage tons of photos.
    I include measurements and weighing in my photos. Measuring tape taped down to table to quickly measure. And a scale on another table beside it where I photograph that too. Then those just go right in the listing.

    Great video! A couple ways I've saved time is I weigh each item as I enter it into my spreadsheet. I haven't ever steamed my items, but I do throw them in the dryer for a few minutes to get the wrinkles out right before photographing.. I measure my items as I'm photographing them. That way they're hanging up and I don't have to bend over to take the measurements.

  • @unusualretail
    @unusualretail หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on the current market, specifically how a lot vintage resellers (and some BOLO and designer) are in a price war with each other. I see so many resellers selling items at $5 to $7 (the old 3 for $25 deal) when they pay $3 for an item. I have tried to engange with other resellers about it, but (the ones that dont have that model) don't understand why others do it, and the common answer from the ones that do is "to turn product quickly".
    It's mostly with small resellers that sell at flea markets/events and some with small brick and mortar locations. But it is having an impact with online sales. Thanks, love the channel!

I can keep spending my time on sourcing and listing each item, but don't get paid for it unless you're making sales on them, also what you paid on each item and how much someone buys it for. Maybe I'm wrong? Guess maybe I'm not understanding? 🤷🏼‍♀️

      Many resellers don’t wash items unless they’re very soiled or need pretreatment. I used to wash everything in the beginning but now I only wash it if it needs it. If it looks clean and smells clean, then it’s clean lol. Usually people understand that they’re buying used clothing so they’re either okay with the item as it arrives (free of flaws and steamed) or they will wash it themselves regardless if you did or not. I get that some people are adamant about washing every item and that’s okay too. We have to choose our processes and do what works for each of us.

      If you haven’t been assessing these areas of your business, you a probably losing money/time that you aren’t aware of. I get that thrifting and reselling is more like a hobby for many of us. It’s really fun for me- like a treasure hunt all the time. But at some point you have to step back and evaluate your performance to see if what you are doing is actually working.
      I will say, I do love systems and process though. So honing my own in is ultra satisfying to me.
