How to make your first successful sale on Grailed?
On the one hand, a very simple and primitive analogy of actions that will lead every novice to a successful sale on such a platform as Grailed and most importantly, the chance of losing an account after the presented step-by-step instructions, almost to zero. This method is not only valid, but also fast, because the faster the transaction on this site, the lower the chance of getting blocked by the security system.
1. Your product is fully consistent with the original or has little noticeable differences to the human eye.
- It's much easier, you don't have to waste your time looking for replacement photos, and the chance of being blocked or disputed drops even more.
2. Your product does not match the original.
- You will need a few replacement photos for future moderation, if you use moderation bypasses, it will not be difficult to pass it, but how long your ad will live - we can only guess.
- In addition to swapping photos, you'll need to scrub the old metadata and upload new ones, or leave the fields with empty metadata unchanged.
- If you completely want to keep future buyers away from real product photos, you'll have to resort to drawing a tag on the ad.
Tag - A sheet of printed or handwritten data proving that the item is really your property.(Name of the site, account nickname, date of publication).
ACCOUNT | PUBLICATION AND PHOTOS
For prolonged activity on Grailed, it is desirable to use accounts with reviews, such accounts have a higher trust factor than accounts without reviews or only with transactions (On these accounts, too, quietly can sell).
Photos should not be a lot, the more photos you let in for moderation or public viewing - the worse! Sufficient only 5-7 photos for good quality goods or ads with substitute photos, the tag should also not be forgotten.
It is desirable to lay out the product at 10% more expensive than you originally wanted to sell it, 60 minutes after successfully passing moderation, reduce its price by 10%. This is done so that your product is fixed in the search and did not fall out of the field “Listings”, as well as for the “game of psychology” over the buyer, whose attention will be attracted by the bumped price of the product of interest to him, among other similar things.
Your sale depends directly on the quality of the product itself, the quality of the photos and their presentation, as well as small factors should not be overlooked when interacting with the site, such as the popularity of the product, the popularity of the ad among potential buyers and the internal text feed in the ad itself. In addition to all the above mentioned actions, the chance of a successful sale increases many times over. Do not forget that we have brought only superficial facts and arguments from our personal experience, with the rest of the obvious problems of all beginners, in most cases - you will have to face to face.
How to photograph a product correctly?
Whether your product is at least thrice popular, but washed out photos on the background of a 30-year-old carpet hanging on the wall, will not make it unique, and the right photos mostly determine the duration of any sale, so it is extremely important to highlight your ad among competitors.
FOR THE PHOTO SHOOT YOU WILL NEED:
- Daylight
- A good camera (preferably an Iphone or DSLR)
- A good background, without unnecessary details and overlights
In the first two photos you can immediately notice the impressive background, focus on the object and daylight, without overlighting and glare, the thing itself is not crumpled, which is very important. When selecting products, the combination of background and quality of photos arouses the interest of users, with this combination is very easy to create a saleable ad, complements the picture only pleasant to the human eye light.
WHY IS THIS KIND OF LIGHT IMPORTANT?
The combination of daylight weakens the attention of the person, in most cases, he does not look at the details and possible joints that may be present on your product.
Belt tag is best photographed without background, the thing should lie on the surface, so you can focus all the attention of the buyer on one object, tags play a huge role in the inspection from the buyer, in the case that the tags on your goods do not correspond to the original, it is easier to replace the photos or photograph them at arm's length, this also applies to the neck tag.
On these photos is the exact opposite of the words above, if the previous product wanted to look with pleasure, this one wants to immediately throw in the trash. We do not exclude the chance that such ads are sold, but, as a rule, in the last place, if you are interested in a quick sale of your product, you need to seriously approach its photo shoot, because the more coverage - the faster the sale.
Most inept users capture every little detail of their product when taking photos, although doing so with replicas, is not desirable. Enough and 6 photos of all the main aspects that should convince those who want to buy it. The main angles that should be present in the ad are - the main front of the goods, the back side, internal and external tags, print. We strongly advise against photographing the seams or not the main points at a distance of up to 20 cm, it may raise suspicion, no matter how high quality your replica is.
It is not uncommon to have the right light, angles but no good background, we have often seen some resellers put down a single color sheet and think this is the right background, but this is far from the case, the ideal solution is branded carpets like “WET GRASS”, “WET GRASS OFF-WHITE” and “IKEA x Virgil Abloh - KEEP OFF”, these are the most popular models among resellers, the initial price for the original carpets starts from 500$, and the last drops were up to 5. 000$, replicas are already cheaper, from 50$ to 250$. And by the way, the resale of replica rugs, under the guise of the original is also popular, and is considered a good investment, because the vast majority of popular models were the idea of the late designer Virgil Abloh.
We've tested this theory before, and this kind of solution really does increase views, at the expense of even such a small thing as buying a background, in the form of a branded rug.
