Sending Offers on Depop
Depop provides a straightforward way to engage potential buyers by sending them special price offers on your items. This feature helps you convert interest into sales by providing an incentive.
Step-by-Step Guide to Sending Offers
To send a special offer to a buyer on Depop, follow these steps:
- Locate the 'Send Offer' Option:
- You can tap 'Send offer' directly from your notifications feed when a buyer shows interest (e.g., by liking your item).
- Alternatively, you can navigate to the product page of the item you wish to offer a discount on, and you may find the 'Send offer' option there, particularly if a buyer has interacted with the listing.
- Determine Your Offer Price:
- Once you tap 'Send offer', you will be prompted to enter the new price you are willing to sell the item for.
- Depop often assists sellers by providing suggested discounts and prices. These recommendations can help you decide on an appealing offer that is likely to encourage a purchase.
- Confirm and Send:
- Review your offer price.
- Confirm the offer to send it directly to the interested buyer. The buyer will then receive a notification about your special price.
When to Send an Offer
Sending offers can be particularly effective in several scenarios:
- Buyer Engagement: When a buyer likes your item, sending an offer can be a timely way to encourage them to complete the purchase.
- Post-Inquiry: If a buyer messages you with questions about an item, and you feel they are close to buying, an offer can be the final push they need.
- Clearing Inventory: Offers are an excellent tool for moving items that have been listed for a while or if you're looking to clear out older stock.
Tips for Effective Offers
- Be Strategic with Discounts: While Depop provides suggestions, consider your profit margins and the item's demand. A compelling discount can be more effective than a minimal one.
- Timeliness: Send offers promptly when you notice buyer interest. The sooner you respond to engagement, the higher the chance of conversion.
- Track Performance: Pay attention to which offers are accepted and which are not. This can help you refine your pricing strategy for future sales.
