Selling Tips
You're the Star
This is the time to have fun and make some money! Get together with your friends for a girls night in! Set up a studio for your photographs in your house or outside. Hang a sheet on a wall or create an original backdrop for you photos. Give each other makeovers with a funky up do or classic curls and makeup. The more you set the stage, the better your dress will look, and the quicker it will sell. People like to envision themselves in the dress, and it's much easier when it's on someone rather than on a hanger. Have fun being a model for a night and take your pictures on a digital camera or scan them after they've been developed.
Lights, Camera, Action
Lighting is one of the most important elements in getting the best picture. Consider where your light source is coming from and use a flash when light is low. A flash will also help fill in dark spots and shadows. When outside, keep your back to the sun while taking your photograph. When taking the picture of your model, make sure the dress looks clean and as smooth as possible. Choose a background color to contrast with the dress color so it will stand out. Remember to get various angles of the gown and zoom in on details. Now it's time to work it, girl!
Tell it like it is
The more complete and accurate your description is the better! People want to know exactly what they are buying, especially over the internet. Discuss the color, size, length, sleeve, neckline, waistline, skirt style and any special details. Be sure to mention if there are any marks, snags or holes in the dress.
The price is right
Probably the most difficult decision in selling is deciding what to sell it for. Keep in mind that people shop at LDSFormalWear.com to spend less than what new dresses are going for which makes pricing an important aspect of the sale. Set your price lower than what you paid for it, then a little bit lower to make it a good deal for the you and the buyer. You can change your price by contacting us.
