I have been a depop top seller for over six months now, with my depop ranking ranging between anything from 200 - 2000 in the worldwide sellers. This statistic varies from week to week, really highlighting that YOU are in control of your success on the widely growing app. This blog post is to help anyone who wants to become a little entrepreneur from selling their creative brand on depop!
My number one tip to someone wanting to expand their depop profile would be to GET FOLLOWING! Sure, it's lovely to rake in the followers whilst you're only following your top 10 favourite accounts, but realistically, this is very unlikely to happen unless someone of high influence discovers your account and loves your products. Instead, I recommend going on to the profiles of individuals that sell similar items to you, as they are likely to have followers that would also be interested in your products. When you find a page that is similar, start following their followers in bulk- before you know it, your followers will start to build along with the interest in your business!
My second tip may be obvious, but START SMALL! I can't emphasise how important this is, especially if you have a small start up budget. It is far better to start selling a higher quantity of only a few products (usually significantly cheaper), than trying to branch out in to lots of product before you know how interested people are in your business. Start with a few, and if these are successful, you will soon gain enough money to fuel a larger purchase of a larger selection of items.
My final tip is great communication. Be sure to be on top of comments and DM's! A customer will be far more inclined to buy your items if you are friendly and well mannered to them. Replying to their messages ensures that you'll keep their attention meaning faster sales. and good reviews. A few mediocre reviews can put people off purchasing, so keep customers happy as it can almost guarantee a good review in return!
