We’ve been dipping our toes into the world of live selling lately—testing the waters on Whatnot and gearing up for our very first live show on Poshmark this week! It’s been… interesting. Fun, chaotic, a little overwhelming—and if I’m being honest—not super profitable just yet.
Live selling is a whole different animal. It’s not just clicking “list” and moving on. Nope. First, we have to upload our products into the show (on top of our regular listings). Then we prep our space so everything is organized, easy to grab, and visible on camera.
And let’s talk about the setup—because this part takes serious time. Getting the products ready means pulling them from our highly organized warehouse, displaying them in a way that looks good on camera (while also hiding inventory tags), and making sure they’re accessible during the show. Then, once the show ends, anything that didn’t sell has to be returned to its correct location—properly—so our inventory stays accurate and efficient. It’s a whole extra layer of work we didn’t have with our static listings.
After all of that, there’s still the promoting—social media posts, fun promo videos, scheduling reminders. And THEN comes the live show itself. Phew!
All of this takes a lot of time—and right now, the return hasn’t been huge. But we know every new platform takes time to build. We’re not giving up, but we’re also not blind to the effort it takes.
So, let’s talk about you—the buyer.
Do you love the energy of live shows, chatting in real time and grabbing deals as they pop up? Or do you prefer to shop at your own pace on websites like Etsy, eBay, or our own site? Or maybe you’re like a lot of us and enjoy a mix—some live, some static, depending on the mood or the hunt.
