Each day, thousands of brides search online to find a used designer wedding dress they can buy for a fraction of what a similar dress would cost them in a bridal salon. With the economy struggling and incomes falling, brides still want a great wedding dress. They just don’t want to pay retail price for it!

After helping resell thousands of wedding dresses, MyWeddingDressforSale.com has come up with the 3 top ways to Resell Your Used Wedding Dress in 7-days or less. While there are plenty of other strategies and tactics you can use that will help your dress sell, these three have been by far the most successful tactics.

1. Stand Out from the Crowd

There are tens of thousands of people each week that want to resell their wedding dress. Just posting your dress will not be enough. You have to stand out from all the other sellers looking to gain the attention of buyers. Most places you can post your wedding dress for sale at don’t do anything to ensure your dress stands out. At MyWeddingDressforSale.com, we allow anyone who wants to sell a used wedding dress to post their dress for sale for free for 30-days. But we also provide a Premium Posting option that allows users to have their postings optimized for higher visibility among buyers searching on our website as well as the entire world wide web. This ensures that buyers are sent first to premium postings and encouraged to purchase those dresses first. This is one of the most effective ways that you can “stand out from the crowd”. Only about 5% of wedding dresses sold on MyWeddingDressforSale.com are Premium Postings. So, you automatically eliminate 95% of the competition when you get a Premium Posting!

2. Price it Right!

You can resell your wedding dress very quickly if you price it right. However, this is one of the biggest mistakes potential sellers make. It is common to at least list your dress at 50% off what you originally paid for it. Buyers want to see they are getting a bargain. Plus, one thing that sellers often don’t figure when pricing their used wedding dress is the fact that buyers are going to have to get your dress cleaned and altered. This will often cost buyers anywhere from $250-$300 additional dollars. Buyers are aware of the extra costs. Sellers should be too. Make sure you price your dress so that buyers really feel like they are getting a deal. Otherwise, it is no different than buying the dress retail.

3. Give an Incentive

Buyers of used wedding dresses are no different than any other type of shopper…they respond to incentives! In your descriptions, be sure to offer buyers free delivery if they buy. Or, tell buyers you will give them an additional $50 discount if they contact you by a certain date. This will get potential buyers acting quickly. MyWeddingDressforSale.com understands the power of incentives. Buyers on MyWeddingDressforSale.com obtain 20% off alterations from our network of alterations specialists if they buy a dress from a Premium User. This lowers their overall costs (remember they have to get your dress altered which will cost them extra) and gives them another reason to buy your dress.
