Vinted Wardrobe Spotlight tips
If you are going to invest in this promotion by Vinted then I have some top tips to share with you.
List items daily during your spotlight promotion, as the spotlight doesn’t feature your older listings.
If you have older listings then consider deleting them and reuploading them whilst your spotlight is active
Send out offers regularly to people who favourite your items during your spotlight. Sometimes even knocking £1 – £2 off the selling price can persuade a buyer.
Finally, turn on as many shipping methods as you can during your spotlight.
Vinted have a variety of shipping partners to choose from:
- UPS Access Point
- 24/7 InPost Locker Pick-up
- InPost Home Delivery
- EVRi Home Delivery
- EVRi Parcelshop
- Yodel Store to Store
- Yodel Store to Door
- DPD Pickup
- Royal Mail Standard 2nd Class
By offering potential buyers their preferred shipping method they are more likely to make a purchase.
