I expected to have a few sales and gain an understanding of what it takes to make an item appealing enough for other people to want to buy it. I thought I may have issues with finding a good amount of quality clothes to sell.
What were you expecting from an educational standpoint?
I expected to learn a lot of essential life tools like communication skills and how to navigate an unfamiliar app. I thought I may skim the surface of the marketing world.
What new knowledge did you hope to gain from this experience?
I expected to gain knowledge on how to coordinate costs so that a profit is made. I also expected to learn more about the world of selling and buying.
How do you think you will benefit from your involvement?
I will benefit from my involvement with this app by gaining real world experiences such as negotiating with customers and shipping my own items out. I will also benefit by enjoying the process of choosing which clothes to put up in my online store.
What new relationships did you gain from this experience?
The only relationship I gained with someone I did not previously know was with another girl that sells on Depop. She sells shorts that she customizes and we had conversations about that. I also became closer with my mentor, Nate Centa, and with my friends that enjoy thrift shopping.
