Tasha Ghouri’s Guide to Pre-loved wardrobes this Winter

How to sell?

1. Show variation in imagery

Capturing engaging images can be the difference between someone scrolling past your item or making a sale. The Galaxy Z Flip4 Flex Cam is crafted to go truly hands-free, you can get creative with images, snap portraits at every angle due to the hinge design, prop up the camera on any surfaces and capture your selfies.

2. Paint a story

Giving 2-3 lines of description helps viewers paint a picture in their minds of where the item could fit into their existing wardrobe and convince them there’s much more life left in it yet.

3. Price your items right

Whether you’re listing your pieces or browsing for a new purchase, do your research to check the price is fair. Think about the condition it is in and what similar items are being sold at on the site.

4. Push your camera to its limits

Putting the effort into capturing the best photos for your online listing will help you sell more items, for better prices and much quicker. The Z Flip4’s Dual Preview camera can help you check you’re happy with the snaps before you take them.

5. Include videos to mix things up

Use videos to do your pre-loved garments justice. Single Take will speed up the process as you can capture multiple videos, gifs and images in one shot so you have lots to choose from.

How to re-love?

1. Try something new

Don’t be afraid to turn to pre-loved items to elevate your existing wardrobe – not only is shopping second-hand more sustainable, but you can find standout items that aren’t available on the high-street.

2. Don’t be afraid to customise

Buying second-hand does eliminate the option to try multiple sizes but if an item isn’t right there are easy ways to customise, try the belt loop trick to fasten jeans tighter or get the scissors out to crop your item.

3. Change your mindset

Don’t forget to look at its potential. You can dress up or down every item and customise it to your style. Look past the image and imagine how you can make the item work for you!
