Poshmark

Hey Gen Zers 👋 Looking for summer job inspo? Meet Sophie (@sophie_reigel), a 23-year-old recent college grad who makes over $4,200 a month reselling secondhand fashion on Poshmark. Sophie started by selling clothes from her own closet during her freshman year of college, but quickly scaled her business by sourcing from thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales. Her best tips for aspiring resellers? "Start selling your own stuff, have fun with it, and be open to learning." Learn more about Sophie's side hustle in GOBankingRates! (via Martin Dasko)

Poshmark proudly celebrates LGBTQ+ #PrideMonth, embracing this year's theme of “Reflect. Empower. Unite.”! Our team will participate in an array of events that honor the experiences and profound impact of the LGBTQ+ community, including an inspiring fireside chat featuring Chella Man, whose journey as a deaf, trans, and Jewish artist serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of resilience and advocacy. Additionally, we look forward to paying homage to LGBTQ+ trailblazers with a virtual tour of historic sites and standing in solidarity with LGBTQ+ teens through our "heart-centered" campaign in partnership with the Human Rights Campaign. Join us in celebrating, advocating for, and uplifting the LGBTQ+ community this Pride Month!

As May comes to a close, we reflect on the incredible journey we had celebrating #AAPIHeritageMonth and Mental Health Awareness Month! We engaged in insightful discussions and workshops centered on allyship, inclusion, and community-building events like Boba & Beats, where employees connected and engaged. Through our support of Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, we made impactful contributions to our local community with a company-wide food drive and fundraiser. Additionally, our Mental Health in the Workplace workshop and sound bath meditation offered invaluable insights for prioritizing well-being in our professional lives. Dive into the pictures to see the moments we've cherished throughout this month, and tell us how you have been prioritizing your well-being throughout the month!

Happy 5th Birthday, Poshmark Canada! Take a look at some of the incredible things our Canadian community has accomplished over the past five years:

"It's easy to use and very effective... We’re taking a collection of listings and using the power of AI to match the listings to the right surfaces on the platform. It maximizes the exposure of the listing, and from the seller’s point of view, the interaction model is very simple.” Our Founder and CEO, Manish Chandra, spoke with Forbes about the introduction of Poshmark's latest seller tool, Promoted Closet, and what sets it apart from other offerings in the space: leveraging machine learning to enable sellers to promote their entire closet at once. Participating sellers are seeing major results, like Dina (@classysapphire), a Promoted Closet beta tester who has made $50K in the past 10 months with the feature alone.

"About five years ago, I heard about Poshmark from a friend and ran to the site. I posted a few things on it just for fun and sold them fast. I was hooked... What boosted everything was starting live shows on Poshmark, which really changed my life financially. I now make well over six figures a year." We are constantly inspired by stories like Rachel's (@huntandsage), who made a major career change from teaching and freelance writing to pursuing entrepreneurship as a reseller. Are you someone who made a career pivot by selling on Poshmark? Tell us your story in the comments!

This month, we celebrate #AAPIHeritageMonth and the incredible achievements and impact of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) individuals throughout our culture. This year's theme, “Advancing Leaders Through Innovation” pays homage to the visionaries and trailblazers who have shaped our AAPI history and continue to influence our collective future. At Poshmark, we are proud of our four AAPI-identifying founders — Manish Chandra, Tracy Sun, Gautam Golwala, Chetan Pungaliya — who have directly impacted culture through innovation in the resale marketplace, opening up opportunities for millions of individuals to fashion their dreams. Throughout the month, our employees will explore actionable allyship and inclusion strategies, learning to create inclusive spaces and support the diverse AAPI community. We’re also excited for Team Posh to engage in community-building activities and make a tangible impact in our local community through our support of the Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. Join us in celebrating, supporting, and uplifting the AAPI community this month and throughout the year!

As Earth Month comes to a close, we'd like to thank the seven sustainable brand partners who hosted Posh Shows to connect with their resale communities and embrace a more circular future of fashion. Our 'Posh for the Planet' live shopping series was a huge success, with brands auctioning off one-of-a-kind, sample merchandise and selling alongside their resale supporters on Poshmark for the first time. Partner brands successfully tapped into the power of Poshmark's community -- diverting items from landfills while economically empowering resellers in the process. Rothy's, Cleobella, and Whimsy and Row had the chance to connect with Modern Retail about their experience selling on Posh Shows, reflecting on the opportunities that come with interacting with customers, communicating your brand values, and showing off an item live.
