My First Poshmark Live Show Experience

What I Did Right, What I’d Do Differently, and How I’ll Improve Next Time

 

By: Daunais Vintage

On November 3, 2025, I hosted my very first Poshmark Live Show — featuring 64 pairs of vintage clip-on earrings.

It was equal parts exciting, nerve-wracking, and educational — the kind of night that proves growth often comes right after you hit “Go Live.”

 

As a vintage curator, I knew presentation mattered, but live selling added a new layer of coordination, planning, and poise.

Here’s what went right, what went wrong, and how I plan to improve for next time — to help anyone else thinking about starting their own Poshmark Live journey.

 

✅ What I Did Right:

1. Built a Professional Setup

I transformed my filming corner into a small studio, complete with an overhead ring light, a Daunais Vintage neon sign, and organized trays of earrings.

Each pair was displayed on a white info card with its brand, measurements, and age handwritten on the back — so I could speak confidently without breaking my flow.

2. Wore White Gloves and Used a Black Display Box

I wanted the focus on the jewelry, not me. Filming only my hands created a calm, elevated feel. The white gloves and white cards against a black background gave perfect contrast, letting every rhinestone, pearl, and gold-tone detail catch the light.

3. Organized with Numbered Trays

Because I couldn’t see item titles or images during the show, I numbered each tray in order of presentation. That system kept my pace consistent and eliminated confusion — a lifesaver during a live broadcast.

4. Stayed True to My Brand Tone

Even though I wasn’t on camera, I spoke in the same Daunais Vintage tone: confident, knowledgeable, and collector-focused. Every element — lighting, gloves, cards, pacing — reinforced my brand identity.

 

🤔 What I’d Do Differently:

1. Toggle “Low Starts” ON

Here’s the biggest lesson. I ran my show as a “Showcase Only,” which meant I couldn’t see item photos or listing order. Next time, I’ll toggle Low Starts on so I can fully see what’s queued — while still keeping control of pricing.

2. Mention Prices and Buying Instructions More Often

Viewers could see listings below the video, but I didn’t mention prices enough on air. I’ll use a printed price sheet next time and remind viewers they can tap items directly to see details or purchase.

3. Add Soft Background Music

There were a few quiet moments that could’ve used a little atmosphere. I’ll include subtle background jazz or lo-fi instrumentals next time to create that boutique showroom mood.

4. Record the Next Show

Poshmark doesn’t save replays (yet!), so I’ll screen record all future shows. It’s a great way to review my own performance and reuse highlights for social posts or YouTube clips.

 

🌟 Takeaways for First-Time Poshmark Hosts:

Don’t aim for perfect — aim for prepared.

Keep your items organized and protected.

Speak clearly, smile (even off-camera), and make it feel like a private showing.

Always double-check that Low Starts toggle.

Learn as you go — each show will be smoother than the last.

 

💚 What’s Next for Daunais Vintage

My next live show is scheduled for November 10th at 6PM CST, featuring vintage clip-on earrings under 3 inches — with improved flow, item visibility, and background music to set the mood.

 

This first show taught me that confidence isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up, learning, and refining the process each time.

 

If you’re thinking about hosting your own Poshmark Live, do it.

Even if only a few people show up, you’ll walk away with something invaluable — confidence, clarity, and community.

✨ From Forgotten to Fabulous.

For Collectors of Style, Not Trends.
