How to Get More Followers on Poshmark
Growing your Poshmark follower count is more than a vanity metric; it's a direct line to increasing your visibility, building a brand, and ultimately, making more sales. When someone follows your closet, your new listings and shares appear directly in their feed, giving your items prime real estate in a crowded marketplace.
But how do you attract those crucial followers? It’s a mix of strategic engagement, high-quality presentation, and smart optimization. This guide will walk you through the essential steps for achieving significant Poshmark follower growth.
We'll cover everything from foundational closet setup to advanced techniques. We will also introduce powerful tools that can automate the most time-consuming tasks, giving you your time back to focus on what truly matters: sourcing great inventory and scaling your business.
The Foundation: Crafting an Irresistible Poshmark Closet
Before you even think about active promotion, your Poshmark closet needs to be a place people want to follow. A strong first impression is critical. It tells potential buyers that you are a serious, reliable seller worth their attention.
Create an Engaging and Cohesive Profile
Your profile is your storefront. It needs to be attractive and give the impression that your closet is worth following. This starts with crafting an engaging profile that has a cohesive look and feel.
Think about your brand. Are you focused on vintage, luxury, or everyday wear? Let your profile picture, header, and bio reflect that niche. A clear, well-written bio can introduce you and your style, making your closet more memorable.
Post High-Quality, Consistently Styled Photos
High-quality photos are non-negotiable. They are the single most important factor in grabbing a buyer's attention. Consistently styled photos then take it a step further, creating a cohesive feel that makes your closet stand out.
Use consistent staging and lighting for your product pictures. Natural light is often best, and a clean, uncluttered background ensures your item is the star. This consistency makes your entire profile more attractive and encourages follows from buyers who like your overall aesthetic.
Write Strategic and Structured Listings
An attractive storefront showcases listings with both quality photos and excellent titles. Take the time to think of a clear structure for your listing titles and stick to it. A common format is Brand - Style Name - Size.
In your descriptions, be detailed but also incorporate relevant keywords buyers might be searching for. This helps your items get discovered. When your listings are professional and informative, it signals to potential followers that you're a reliable seller.
Use Hashtags Wisely
Hashtags can improve discoverability. Use relevant hashtags that describe the item's style or a general fashion trend, rather than just objective descriptions. For example, instead of just `#bluejeans`, you might use `#boho`, `#streetwear`, or `#minimalist`.
However, avoid overusing them. The goal is to add a few strategic hashtags to an already solid listing, not to overload it with every trending tag you can find. This strategic use helps establish you as a knowledgeable seller that buyers will want to follow.
Active Engagement: The Key to Poshmark Follower Growth
Poshmark is a social commerce platform, and the "social" part is key to your success. Active engagement is one of the most direct ways to get more followers on Poshmark.
The Golden Rule: Follow, Follow, Follow
One of the simplest strategies is to follow other Poshers. Many will follow you back out of courtesy. A great place to start is by following the followers of closets similar to yours or closets of Posh Ambassadors.
Crucially, you must return the favor. When someone follows you, follow them back. Poshmark sellers should try to return follows within a day or two at most to ensure they don’t lose out on potential followers who may unfollow if they feel ignored.
Share Your Closet (and Others'!)
Sharing is the lifeblood of Poshmark. Every time you share one of your listings, it appears at the top of your followers' feeds. You should share a listing as soon as you post it, whenever you drop the price, and when you're running a promotion.
Don't just share your own items. Engaging with the community by sharing items from other closets can lead to them returning the favor, exposing your closet to their followers and driving new traffic and potential followers to your page.
Participate in Posh Parties
Posh Parties are real-time virtual shopping events focused on specific brands, categories, or themes. Participating in these parties is a fantastic way to gain more followers and exposure.
You can participate by enrolling your individual listings that match the party's theme. Only enroll listings that are truly relevant. During the party, share your relevant items to the party feed. This puts your items in front of a highly engaged and targeted audience of shoppers, many of whom will follow your closet if they like what they see.
Engage with Comments and Customers
Selling on Poshmark requires active engagement with buyers and potential buyers. When someone leaves a comment or asks a question on a listing, respond in a timely manner. These timely replies are a clear signal to potential followers that you are an active and reliable seller.
Consistency is key across all your customer engagement, from answering questions to your shipping practices. A consistently positive experience will not only lead to sales but also encourage buyers to follow you for future purchases.
Scale Your Poshmark Follower Growth with Automation
The manual strategies for how to get followers on Poshmark are effective, but they are also incredibly time-consuming. Sharing your closet multiple times a day, following hundreds of users, and returning follows can quickly become a full-time job in itself.
This is where automation becomes a game-changer for serious resellers. For those looking to scale their business, automating these repetitive tasks frees up countless hours that can be reinvested into sourcing, listing, and other high-value activities.
Why Resellers are Turning to Automation
Imagine having a virtual assistant that works 24/7 to grow your account. That’s what an automation tool does. It can handle shares, follows, offers, and likes without you needing to be on your phone or computer.
This end-to-end automation doesn't just save time; it directly boosts your sales by keeping your closet visible and engaging with potential buyers around the clock. Automated follows and reactions allow you to build a strong brand by consistently interacting with other Poshers, leading to more Poshmark follower growth.
For resellers juggling multiple responsibilities—like The Plentiful Goose, a reseller who also homeschools three kids and cares for her father—this kind of support isn't just a luxury; it's essential for growth.

Advanced Strategies for Serious Sellers
Once you’ve mastered the basics and implemented automation to handle the daily grind, you can focus on more advanced strategies to pull even further ahead of the competition.
Become a Posh Ambassador
Working towards becoming a Posh Ambassador is crucial for getting more sales and followers. Posh Ambassadors are recognized as top sellers in the community, and Poshmark actively promotes their closets to new users. The status lends immediate credibility and trust to your closet, making users more likely to follow and buy from you.
Leverage Poshmark's Built-in Tools
Poshmark provides several powerful features that you should learn and utilize:
- Offer to Likers: This feature lets you send a private discount to everyone who has liked a listing. To use it, you must drop the price by at least 10% and offer a shipping discount. It's a highly effective way to convert interest into sales.
- My Shoppers: This is a powerful CRM-like tool. It allows you to target potential buyers who've interacted with your items. You can use it to add items a shopper liked into a bundle for them, send them a private message about the bundle, and send them a direct offer. It’s also great for retargeting past buyers to encourage repeat business.
- Bundle Discounts: Offer discounts for buyers who purchase multiple items. You can create a bundle discount policy (e.g., "15% off bundles of 3 or more items") and advertise it in your listings and bio. This encourages larger orders.
Expand Your Reach with Social Media and Influencers
Promote your Poshmark store on your business's social media accounts. Platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok are highly visual and perfect for showcasing your best items. You can link directly to your Poshmark closet from your Instagram profile, driving your social media followers to become Poshmark followers.
For even faster growth, consider connecting and collaborating with influencers in your niche. An influencer sharing your closet with their established, trusting audience can result in a massive influx of new, highly relevant followers overnight.
Cross-List to Other Marketplaces
While growing your Poshmark account is the goal, don't limit your business to a single platform. Cross-listing your inventory on other marketplaces like eBay, Mercari, and Depop expands your customer base and creates more revenue streams.
Managing listings across multiple platforms can seem daunting, but this is another area where our platform simplifies the process. We allow you to list your items everywhere with one click. Then, when an item sells on one platform, our auto-delist feature instantly removes it from the others to prevent overselling. It’s a feature reseller AlistairBP says they "couldn't live without."
This multi-platform support is how sellers scale. As one of our customers, Hiview Reloved, noted, "I’ve created more listings in the few months of using Reeva than I was able to create all of last year when trying to do it on my own."
Conclusion: Build Your Following and Grow Your Business
Getting more followers on Poshmark is a multifaceted process that combines a well-presented closet, active community engagement, and smart use of the platform's features. It begins with creating an attractive, trustworthy storefront with high-quality photos and listings.
From there, consistent daily engagement—sharing, following, and participating in parties—drives traffic and encourages follows. For serious sellers, leveraging advanced tools like Offer to Likers and My Shoppers can convert that interest into sales.
However, all of these manual tasks take an enormous amount of time. The key to sustainable Poshmark follower growth and overall business success is automation. By automating the repetitive but essential tasks, you free yourself to focus on sourcing, strategy, and scaling.
We built Reeva to give resellers that freedom. Our platform automates sharing, following, and offers, and simplifies multi-platform selling with tools like one-click cross-listing and auto-delisting. It’s the all-in-one solution trusted by top resale businesses to reduce admin work, increase listing speed, and dramatically grow sales.
