Forgot to add! My closet had 130 active listings at the time I was a host. That might help as a reference point when looking at the data numbers! 🥰

I agree with what you said about it being solely for the sellers, glad I saw this video so I don't have to feel like Im missing out on sales.

I've been a host three times for the evening party... same results for everything you said! Not worth it unless you want to feel popular for a few hours lol.

That’s really interesting to know, thank you! Because this was my first time, I wasn’t sure if the lackluster outcome was just because of the time and day that the party happened 😂 Good to know!!

Well put together video, very informative! Thank you! Need more tips on how to sell faster on Poshmark.

I'm hosting my third party this afternoon, and it will probably be my last unless, like you said, they invite me to do the late night party with a more generalized theme. I have made friends on Poshmark since live shows have started, and it does give me a nice "Santa Claus" feeling to grant host picks to Posh pals, for sure. My love language is giving gifts, so it makes me happy to make others happy. I did follow all of my "host picks" after the last party to analyze if anything sold. I saw that 3 items out of 100 did sell within 2 days and I did get a thank you from someone saying she believes I was able to get her a sale on an item that had been sitting in her closet for a year due to being featured as a host pick. 3 out of 100, though. I have to say, I personally did not see an uptick in sales in my own closet while being a host, buuuut I did get a lot more "likes" than usual, that can eventually lead to sales, so there's that. I like having more eyes on my closet, anyway...ya never know who's lookin...

I agree with everyone else - thank you for your honesty. Like you I’m curious about the benefits of being a party host which is how I found you. And, I’m really glad I did! I did already submit the application and I’ll wait the 4-6 months for a reply 😂. Do you know anything about the sellers that are ALWAYS a co-host? Just about every party I see the same 2-4 sellers and they have all have their comments turned off 😂.

Got an invite to best dressed part at 8pm Oct 17 on the app

Loved this video! I've always been curious about the "benefits" of being a host. This video reminded me of how I was so excited when someone chose my item as a host pick (I never went out of my way to ask for host picks as I don't entirely see the point of Posh Parties) and I was so excited and thought I would possibly make a sale. Yeah, that didn't happen. I think I got a few likes but the shoes ended up selling on Mercari weeks after the party lol

Yes! Thank you! I’ve always been curious about these parties and was going to request this. Thanks for doing this vid!

Hi Hannah --- did you do a 'quick live" with a posh team, to meet them I guess, before you got to host your first party?

Love this video and how you break down data in general. I noticed something about parties that I think contributes to then being flooded with sellers and no buyers: the parties are hard to find within the app. If you disregard the notification, trying to get back to the party is hard because it’s located AAAAAALLLLL the way at the bottom of the search page. If people are only using the search page to look for specific items, they’re not going to scroll to the bottom of the page to go shop a party and hope they can find what they’re looking for.

Thank you very much for this. You explain this VERY WELL! You seem like you’re very intelligent and have a lot of common. Appreciate your honesty. I’ve had host picks in the past. (Maybe 3 in my nearly 4 years) Never really wanted to be a host, but was curious about the benefits basically what are the pros and cons and you explain them again, very well! Happy Selling Poshmark/tjudaco

🙋‍♀️ Thank you. I love it. "We are all sellers and no buyers" Exactly how I feel.

This is so interesting. I like your tests.

Today I finally found the clear bread bags at my local Walmart. Thank you for sharing in a past video the way you ship. This is going to save me a lot of $$$ from the way I was doing it before with zip-lock. And thank you for explaining the PoshParties. Also Thank you for sharing the inventory sheets, I am using them as well.

I turned off the Party Invite option under Notifications and still get those annoying invites.

Thank you for this video

One of my tops was picked, I received a lot of congratulations from other PA, but it didn't sell :(

I don't know any buyer who shops the parties. Typically buyers use the search bar to find the time they want. I understand that Posh tries to be a social platform, but none of my friends or family go to these "curated" parties. I think the parties are mainly sellers. Nobody is looking to scroll through a feed of mixed sizes and brands. If they want Nike leggings, they'll search Nike leggings. If they want a pair of Madewell jeans, they're gonna search Madewell jeans. I dont know who is showing up, ready to scroll through a "Perfect Denim" party, past a bunch of time& tru, old Navy, and forever 21, just to MAYBE find a style they like, from a quality brand, in their size. When they can just search what they want and scroll through a "curated" selection of items they're actually looking for.

Great points!

So how would it work for me for doing a party if I sell handmade cups?

Thanks for the info. I’ve been curious to know if sharing from my closet to parties puts those items at the top of the overall “just shared” search like it does when I share to “my followers” do you know anything about that? Also if I share other ppls listings to /from parties does it put their items at the top of the general “just shared” post?

@HannahAlonzo

Sharing other people’s listings doesn’t put it to the top of any search result or party feed. But sharing your own listings “to the party” still puts it to the top of search as if you were sharing it “to your followers” 😊

You are terrific. Ty

Thanks for this information. I've been on since 8/2016. I've been an Ambassador since 2017, yet just received Host Invite this year. I was always jealous that I wasn't being invited to HOST, but after this, I may only do one party just for the experience.

Thank you for posting this. I hosted one party (the noon one) and it was so not worth it for me and I got so tired of people commenting on my active listings asking for host picks.

Girrrrl I feel ya 100%. I have had many of my items be selected as Host Picks and never once could I directly link a sale to an item being a HP. I also agree that the Posh Parties are mostly made up of sellers. It's like a very slightly more curated version of the feed - which hardly anyone ever shops. Also WHY does everyone (other users - not the Host who picked my item) feel the need to leave congratulatory emoji laden comments on Host Pick items? Are they looking for me to follow them? I think that's the thing I hate the most about getting a HP - the barrage of comment notifications that blow up my phone with people just saying "congrats". Great video as always!

Thank you for your information. I always wondered if it really mattered. The other problem is that there is always a million items in the party. I think I have sold a few things from party posts, I think.

Thanks for doing this! Great info. Just to clarify one question I have: have you ever sold any items that you can directly link to any party?? I had an idea for a Posh experiment video 😁 the time of day you list your items.

Thanks for watching! I’ve definitely sold items during party times but honestly, it’s so hard to tell if they’re connected! Because even when you share “to the party” it also goes to the top of search results. So it feels nearly impossible to tell if the sale came from someone shopping the party showroom or if they just happened to find my item by searching through the search bar 😕

100% agree with everything - I hosted two parties on Poshmark Canada within a week (hosting is not nearly as competitive on the Canadian platform; I got an email after my first host asking me to host again). One was a 7pm PST, and one was a 12pm PST party. Aside from the bump in shares and such there was no significant change in my offer or sales. In general I was just uncomfortable to have so many people reaching out to try and get me to pick their items. And yes, the party ends and everything goes blissfully quiet! The best part for me was sharing new closets, especially ones from my local area. I hoped it would encourage them a bit ☺️ Oh, I also rescheduled and the wait was just a week. They slated me to host a makeup party - I don’t wear makeup and know nothing about it so I wrote to them explaining and they rescheduled me for sweaters. Final misc party note - I once had a men’s blazer listing randomly chosen as a host pick (I didn’t seek out a share), and I sold two of them within 24 hours. After that the listing went back down to normal volume of likes, shares and sales. I attributed the sales to the party, but it could have just been coincidental since I’ve had similar blips happen with that listing since. At this point I’m not actively seeking to host again, but may say yes if I get another email asking me to host.

Hi Hannah! Thank you for your awesome content. I always enjoy your videos. I am just curious as a part time reseller- how many active poshmark listings do you have and find manageable without any help?

@HannahAlonzo

Hey there! I forgot to include that number in this video but I have anywhere between 130-150 active listings these days. I sell 1-2 items a day and source 10-15 items each week! I find that to be manageable for me as a one-woman show with another full-time obligation (student teaching)! 😊

I've had, I think, 3 items chosen as a HP in the 4ish years I've been a reseller. All of them got a lot of likes and comments, but none of them sold. In fact, two are still for sale in my closet! 😂 Ah, well.

i hate being a host in real life lol it’s like no benefit and just a drain and you’re like why did i even offer to host. also if there is a host then there are leeches or parasites attaching to the host which again is of no benefit lol but thanks for putting in the effort and reporting the facts!

Oh, that’s a perfect way to look at it! Hosts/parasites/leeches!

I shop a decent amount... but personally never clicked on a party to look, do not know how to see a host or go to there closet etc.

Thank you for this video!! I just hosted my first party a couple of weeks ago and I just got an invitation to host another one next week. I am seriously evaluating if it's worth it. I just got completely spammed! It was absolutely horrible! People were commenting these long paragraph sob stories(which I guess I'm doing right now, lol), flooding my listings with emojis and bundling items from their closet to me. Turned off my notifications! lol By the time it was over, I had to delete and reslist 2 items from my closet. And since then, my sales have had a little uptick. I'd say from 4-6 items a week to 3 and its only Monday... So, maybe I can just turn off notifications. Is posting a listing to my closet asking to not be spammed a dick move? lol

I only sell men's clothing and I can't imagine any guy wanting to attend one of these parties. Seems like a waste of time to me.

Thanks for your video. I would try again and see the results.
