Using # in your Vinted ads and bio

We hear a lot about using # in closets/on listings.
Tell us how you use them?

Have you made categories by size? type of clothing? Do you use them when searching to buy an item?

Over to you :microphone:

Hello :slight_smile:

To answer your question, it’s like on Insta/Twitter(X).

Here are, for example, the hashtags I use:
GAMES/DVDS/BOOKS #valentindu62_jeux #valentindu62_dvd #valentindu62_livre #valentindu62_livre_magazine #valentindu62_dvd_software CLOTHING #valentindu62_femme_vetements #valentindu62_femme_chaussures #valentindu62_femme_sacs #valentindu62_femme_accessoires #valentindu62_femme_beaute #valentindu62_homme_vetements #valentindu62_homme_chaussures #valentindu62_homme_accessoires #valentindu62_homme_soins #valentindu62_enfants_filles #valentindu62_enfants_garcons #valentindu62_enfants_jouets #valentindu62_enfants_soins_bebe #valentindu62_enfants_pousettes #valentindu62_enfants_trotteurs #valentindu62_enfants_chaises #valentindu62_enfants_mobilier #valentindu62_enfants_scolaire #valentindu62_maison_textiles #valentindu62_maison_decoration #valentindu62_maison_table #valentindu62_divertissement_jeuxvideo #valentindu62_divertissement_jeux #valentindu62_divertissement_musique #valentindu62_divertissement_livres #valentindu62_tshirt_XL #valentindu62_tshirt_enfants #valentindu62_vetements_femmes #valentindu62_vetements_hommes ACCESSORIES #valentindu62_animaux_chiens #valentindu62_animaux_chats #valentindu62_animaux_rongeurs #valentindu62_animaux_poissons #valentindu62_animaux_oiseaux #valentindu62_animaux_reptiles #valentindu62_cartable_scolaire #valentindu62_sacs_femmes #valentindu62_enfants_garcons #valentindu62_sacsaccessoires #valentindu62_bracelet #valentindu62_deco

Here is the template list of hashtags you can use with the different Vinted categories.

And finally, here is the tutorial I made:

Hello,

A bit similar, a list of # for men’s, women’s, girls’, and boys’ clothing sizes and the different categories of online items.

For keywords, I’ll list them without #.

Personally, I use # to add synonyms for the words in my ad.
For example, in an ad for a crocodile wallet, if « crocodile » is in the ad, I will add #croco, #alligator, and #caiman. This way, if someone searches for a croco wallet and another searches for a crocodile wallet, they will both find mine.

If I understand correctly, you invented these categories so that people interested only in your closet can narrow their searches to certain categories within your closet?

Technically, I didn’t invent these hashtags.
The keywords existed long before, I just had the idea to take each Vinted category and asked ChatGPT to take them all to create general #yourpseudonym_cat_subcategory for Vinted.

And in the explanatory video I made earlier, I largely used the Instagram example so you could understand better.

That’s a good idea!

yes indeed it is so that we find only one category in a dressing room.

Like you, I put:

Boy’s clothing announcement 6 years old
#pseudo_garcon6ans

But also, for example, a toy from 6 years old.
#pseudo_garcon6ans
#pseudo_garcon7ans
#pseudo_jeu toy

And for a children’s book from 6 years old
#pseudo_garcon6ans
#pseudo_garcon7ans
#pseudo_livreenfant

So several # for the same item

I no longer use #dress #necklace, I thought Vinted blocked accounts because of that

And I was told that # were no longer useful, writing just: dress, crocodile or other in the ad amounted to the same thing

Yes, searching for « robe » and « #robe » gives the same results.
Similarly, searching for « robecourtejaune » or « #robecourtejaune » gives the same results.
But not « robe courte jaune » and « #robecourtejaune »:

  • « #robecourtejaune » or « robecourtejaune » :right_arrow: 5 results, only short yellow dresses.
  • « Robe courte jaune » :right_arrow: more than 500 results (all ads in the dress category that include the words « yellow » and « short »): short yellow dresses, but also short-sleeved yellow dresses, short-sleeved black dresses with yellow, short green dresses with yellow stripes, etc. Good luck identifying the short yellow dresses in there!

Someone looking for a short yellow dress should therefore start by searching for « robecourtejaune ».

Hello, I am reading your answers, but it is complicated for me. If there were a video in Spanish, it would be fantastic.

Hello!
Feel free to use Google Translate or use the subtitles in your language on the YouTube video. :hugs:

Thank you for all these explanations. If we write (short yellow dress) in different languages, will we get more views from foreign customers? Is it wise to do so? I saw some vinties who were doing it.

Your method is good, but I find it very restrictive because many Vinties provide very little detail in their listings, and as a result, we miss out on many yellow and short dresses because there are not just 5 in reality :blush:

Hello lydie, this is not « my » method nor the one I recommend, it’s how # works on Vinted. I’m explaining how it works to save everyone time. Everyone is free to do as they please.

So how do # work? I usually put summer dress, women’s dress, Zara dress all with #

Yeah, Vinted should replace GoogleTranslateApi with ChatGpt4Api… 1000 times more accurate in terms of translation…

No. But for a company like Vinted, it would be more strategic to use Mistral 8x22b (free but requires powerful servers, so it can be a bit costly). Then again, it’s Vinted…

I quote:
In 2023, Vinted recorded a turnover of 596.3 million euros, marking an increase of 61% compared to the previous year (370.2 million euros in 2022). For the first time since its creation, the company also generated a net profit of 17.8 million euros, after recording a loss of 20.4 million euros in 2022. This profitability is attributed to strong growth in its existing markets as well as its expansion into countries like Finland, Denmark, and Romania.

For 2024, the figures have not yet been published, but the company plans to continue its expansion, particularly in luxury fashion and delivery services with Vinted Go.
