Include professional photos
When you list your wedding dress here on SHWD, you will be able to upload a few photos of the dress. We encourage you to place a couple of photos that was taken on your wedding day by the professional photographer you hired. These photos of course will not only show how beautiful the dress looked on you, but also will help potential brides to portray themselves weaing it on their special day. The professional photographs shold be able to show better details of the dress, and represent the dress at its best.

Include non professional photos
We at SHWD also recommend taking some photos of the dress post wedding, just with any old camera of yours. Non-professional photos will assure that the dress is real and do exist in real life, and this will boost the confidence of potential buyers to contact you.

Be honest – show any flaws
Honesty is very important in any sales, and as a seller, you must be upfront with the state of your dress. Describe any flaws that the dress has, which might have resulted in a little incident from your wedding day. Take photos of any stains or tear that the dress may have, or inform the potential buyer should there be anything missing from the dress. By doing so, you avoid any disputes post sales, and boost your credibility as a good seller.

Give something extra
Perhaps consider throwing in a little extra something along with the purchase of your dress. If the dress came with a fancy box or you may have bought a beautiful gown hanger, include that as a bonus to your buyer.

Be descriptive
Be as descriptive as you can while filling in the details form when you submit your wedding dress to our site. Use descriptive words, in combination with some ‘sales’ intuition to help create a visual intrepretation of your wedding dress.

Point out great features of the dress
Why did you decide to buy your wedding dress when you saw it? List those great features that captured you and made you fell in love with the dress. Most likely those features will also make the buyer fall in love with it, just like you did.

Encourage buyers to contact you
End your description with a simple suggestion to invite buyers to contact you. Just like anything else, it is all about numbers. The more people enquire you about the dress, the higher the chances of you selling your dress.

Faster response
Respond to the email enquiries as soon as possible. Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes, and remember back to the days prior to your wedding. Remember how many decisions you had to make, and with the wedding date approaching faster than reality, the pressure was definitely there to make quick judgements. Fast reply will ensure that the buyer will not move on to purechase another dress.

Good luck!
