Chances are if you make a positive comment on a piece of my clothing, I’m going to tell you it was cheap as hell and I bought it on Poshmark. This usually leads to the question, “what is Poshmark?” As a mother who has minimal adult interaction I can go down a bit of a rabbit hole when I start talking about it. (So, don’t ask unless you REALLY want to know.)

Poshmark is an app and website that allows its users to buy and sell clothing. As a seller, it’s how I’ve been able to double down on student loan and credit card payments and as a buyer it’s how I ball on a budget. Log into the app and see for yourself. You can buy Louis Vuitton 2-grand below retail, Coach at a Target prices and adorable Jimmy Choo flats for under $100.

While I do enjoy that I can make between my car payment and mortgage every month reselling clothes, one of the things I love most about Posh is how the company interacts with its users on a social level.

Let’s start with the greatest social media platform of all time (IMO), Instagram. Poshmark’s IG account keeps users in the know about upcoming events, informs them about what’s happening on the app (sale anyone?), and highlights user closets. The last bit is smart on Poshmark’s part since they make 20% of every sale. Why not advertise their users? Their Facebook page is very similar with more video.

They also encourage users to meet in person (weird, right?) via Posh Party Live. PPL is an event series that tours the United States. PPL lets Poshmark users connect and network. There they can exchange tips and tricks for selling, get a consultation of their closet, and get to know top Posher’s in their area via panel discussions.

In addition to Posh Party Live, Poshmark also holds an annual conference/party for users called, Poshfest.

Lastly, The Poshlife, Poshmark’s blog, is another way the company socially connects with its users. Here you can find up to date information about events and tickets, giveaways, app updates, and more tips for sellers.

Aside from the connections they forge via their own social media platforms they also encourage users to share their listings on personal accounts. If you’ve ever scrolled through Pinterest and seen a post like this

it’s because a user, me in this case, has shared a listing from their closet. Users can also share to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr.

So, if you haven’t already, check out Poshmark. You’ll find a company that has a cool way of connecting with its users, while connecting its users with each other for a true feeling of community. Happy Poshing, stop by & say hi.
