Your Closet is your storefront! Make sure your items are clean, ready to wear, and properly described. This will help keep your reviews high, leading to more rentals!
A few things to keep in mind:
Your item needs to arrive ready to wear. This means:
The item is clean.
The item is packaged nicely by neatly folding it into a bag that the Renter can use to return your item :)
The item is as described (including the correct sizes that are listed on the tags).
Good communication goes a long way! Make sure to respond to messages about your items in a timely manner!
If you are traveling/unavailable for certain periods please add Vacations to your profile. To do so, go to your Closet tab, click on the settings gear icon in the upper right, and then click on “Manage Availability”.
Include your cleaning costs in the price of your items!
Per Pickle's cleaning policy, the Owner is responsible for cleaning their items upon the item’s return. If the Renter receives an item that wasn't cleaned, they have the right to get a full refund and the Owner will be charged for any delivery costs.
Please note: If you require dry cleaning on your items, you must notify the renter of this personal policy before the item is delivered to them. Adding a cleaning policy in your bio without personally disclosing this policy to the renter is not a valid form of communication.
Try to be as flexible as possible in working with the Renter on delivery/return times :)
Do your best to avoid cancelling rentals after you've already accepted them! Cancellations are disappointing for renters, so if you do need to cancel please send them a personal message to explain the situation.
Additional Tips
Add a clear profile picture of yourself :)
Write a fun bio that encourages your Renters to rent from you
Example: "Welcome to my Closet! Feel free to make me an offer and chat with me anytime!"
Link your social media profiles!
Respond as fast as you can to offers (Accept, Decline, or Counter)
In your listings try to always include pictures of YOU in the item!!
It's helpful for people to see an item on a "real" person instead of the staged model photos.
Upload your FAVORITE pieces!! These are the items that are likely in highest demand among renters :)
Upload 25+ products to your closet to potentially have your closet highlighted on both Pickle and our social media. Reach out to the @styledbypickle account to ask about a highlight!
