How Ashley Peek boosted revenue on Poshmark by 45x with Photoroom

The challenge: Ashley, a Top Seller on Poshmark and eBay, struggled to balance her full-time healthcare job with creating high-quality listings for her thrifted items. She needed an efficient way to produce attractive, professional-looking photos to stand out in the competitive online marketplace, especially as she moved into selling mid-tier and luxury items.

Our solution: Photoroom transformed Ashley's selling process. The app's intuitive mobile interface allowed her to edit photos directly on her phone, eliminating the need for complex desktop software. Features like the Remove Background and Batch Mode enabled Ashley to edit up to 250 images per week and create polished, consistent images that showcased her items beautifully.

Results: Since incorporating Photoroom into her process, Ashley has seen a staggering 45-fold increase in sales revenue. Her monthly income from online marketplaces now reaches up to $20,000. The high-quality images produced with Photoroom have helped Ashley successfully break into the mid-tier and luxury market, where presentation is crucial. By saving time on photo editing, Ashley can focus more on sourcing great items and growing her business, all while maintaining her full-time job.

Creating the best images possible to attract customers, whilst being efficient

As a Top Seller on Poshmark and eBay, Ashley faced the challenge of providing high-quality images to attract customers while balancing her full-time job in the healthcare industry. With a growing community of 33k followers, Ashley needed to find a way to continue effectively showcasing her thrift items for sale.

She quickly realized that images play a crucial role in online sales and that quality pictures can make a significant difference in attracting and informing customers. However, using photo editing software proved to be both time-consuming and difficult.

“Even though buyers are purchasing second-hand products, there is still an expectation that the items they’re buying will be of good quality.”

Recognizing the importance of efficient processes, Ashley sought a solution to streamline her image production and enhance her sales efforts. With her growing inventory, the challenge of consistently offering quality images became increasingly daunting. Ashley's goal was to increase her supplementary income while still working a 9-5 job.

Photoroom's AI photo-editing features are the ultimate solution for sellers like Ashley

As a seller on second-hand marketplaces, Ashley, like many others, relies on her phone to take photos. Traditional photo editing software requires knowledge and skills, plus usually work on computers only. That's where Photoroom comes in. With its ability to automatically edit photos directly on her phone, Ashley can quickly and accurately enhance her images without the added hassle of switching between devices.

One of the most valuable aspects of Photoroom for Ashley is its emphasis on quality. With its clear images and ample brightness, buyers can see exactly what the item looks like. Photoroom's features, such as Background Remover, centering, re-sizing items in the image, and retouching, are especially useful for sellers like Ashley.

Another seller confirms Ashley's findings, stating "This app does it super quickly and gets it done the first time. It's easy to make adjustments if you need to." Efficiency is also a key factor for Ashley, and Photoroom's Batch Mode feature is a game-changer. It allows her to edit multiple images at once, streamlining her sales process and saving her precious time.

“I use Photoroom to edit my photos. It is great because it has the option to bulk edit photos quickly.”

Ashley grew her sales revenue 45 folds and her net income per month can now go up to $20,000

With her efficient process using Photoroom, Ashley is now able to upload 45-60 items by effortlessly editing a whopping 200-250 images per week. Photoroom enables her to instantly process images, saving her valuable time and effort.

But that's not all. Ashley's images stand out thanks to Photoroom's ability to turn them into stunning, high-quality photographs. As her strategy for selling online evolved, Ashley identified her higher margin opportunities in the mid-tier and luxury items market. In this sector, it's crucial that the images showcase the items in the most desirable way possible, and with Photoroom, Ashley is able to do just that.

“It’s important the images are high quality and show off the item in the most desirable way possible.”

Thanks to her efficient process and stunning images, Ashley's monthly income from sales on marketplaces has soared to an impressive $20,000.
