Selling your Scents

Have you ordered very expensive perfume online without knowing how it smells? Did you eagerly anticipate its arrival and suddenly regret that purchase upon smelling it? Most of you would say to yourself, I would never do that, I would need to smell that perfume first! Imagine you are a buyer on ATW, and realize how they may purchase items like panties or shoes.
As a seller, you are not going to be everyone's type just because you take pretty photos in your items. You must understand your products and market to individual buyers just like any other items in a store. You are selling a scent to someone who is unable to smell you prior to purchasing.
Look at your last panty listing, read the details you provided in the description and the keywords used for search, did you tell the buyers how you smell? The listings lately that I have seen, from the newest sellers especially, do not and it leads to a seller becoming frustrated when items do not sell. Let's dive into what you need to know as a seller.

Knowing Your Type - Panties

You fit into a smaller pool of sellers in the used panty market of All Things Worn, and you probably never realized it. You need to spend time figuring out where you fit in this market, and which buyers to focus your marketing efforts.
After a long day in panties, study them. What scent did you leave on them after a long work day? It may seem silly, but it is not! You need to get your nose in there! Are you Earthy or a Mineral scent? Lemon tartness? Or just Fishy? This may seem like a simple answer, but it is not.
You are also on a cycle that changes every day as you approach ovulation and your period. You should keep track of your scents daily as you go through a monthly cycle, and again for the following month to see if it is consistent. Install a free app like Flo to track what day of your cycle you are on, as this also can help you market to buyers who prefer a woman to wear during her fertile dates. Did you know there were those specific buyers on here? Some like panties worn at different times of the cycle, and learning where you are can help you close that sale.
You may also feel like you are a mix of scents, and that is common as well. You should sniff throughout your day and see if after a short time, does the scent change? If you start off each morning earthy and then by the afternoon you notice an additional scent of nutty, this is common but should be noted. There is a specific buyer group that love the nutty scent, but not when it moves to mineral or metallic. If you found a buyer with this attraction, you would honestly want to stop wearing it at a certain point instead of wearing a full 24 hours. At this point, I can understand the confusion that you would not simply just want to sell panties with as long of wear as possible, and it is true!
You are creating a product for a specific buyer and not all sales are based on the heaviest applied scent possible. After a couple of days, the scent on a panty can turn foul and become unappealing to some buyers, while others crave that exact odor.
It is like drinking wine, a sommelier has specific desires to their palate, and as such, a panty buyer would stop a sale at less than 24 hours to achieve that specific scent. Continue to sniff and understand your scents over days to make sure you are advertising correctly, as your buyers will leave a review on your scents for others to read. This is your best marketing there is, word of mouth, and if you sell honestly, your reviews will bring you lots of future business.
I will also be sure to mention something most sellers do not ask their buyers and it is critical you do so, and that is their desired "Back Scents" or simply, ass smells. You will be wearing a thong for 3 days, and your buyer wants you to get them extra messy. Do you know what they mean by that? Do you ask for clarification?
After the sale is made, it is okay to then go over the details to make sure you both understand each other and that the buyer gets exactly what they are looking for with your panty. If they want light back scents, you can wear half a panty liner to protect that area from your panty wear until the final day. If they want heavy all around scents, offering a no-wipe day for extra fee may be what the buyer is looking for, but did not realize it at the initial time of sale. Not communicating this critical area can quickly ruin a buyer's experience, and turn them off from buying from you or anyone again in the future.
Before we move on from used panties, it is also good to note the markings left behind after certain periods of time, and note at what time of the month you are currently. This will help you sell to those who wish for heavy markings and this is usually achieved during the days prior to ovulation, statistically, however, everybody is different and you may leave the heaviest marks after your period.

Know Your Buyers - Feet

A lot of sellers join ATW and only market their physical products to foot buyers. It can be a very rewarding business and you can sell many items if you understand who will be shopping for your items. You have feet, and buyers want socks so you will do well, right? Wrong. This will lead to frustration as you may get lucky and sell a couple of pairs, but long term you will not find the success that can happen if you take the time to understand your market.
Foot buyers are each looking for a specific outcome with your item, being a scent, dirt markings or shape after wear. Most are a combination of these characteristics. You should ask desired outcome questions when a buyer reaches out to you for an item in your listings to ensure they will be happy with their purchase and hopefully a repeat buyer from you.
You may get a random question while here on ATW: "Are you a Frito?" And I honestly wish I could answer yes! The corn chip scent is very desired among the foot buyer community. As a seller, you should understand that if you are not a corn chip scent foot seller that you should never pretend to be in order to get a sale.
That is what causes buyers to leave ATW in frustration with scammers, and that is what you are if you falsify a scent. I suggest getting to know fellow sellers in your country and finding matches for the other scents that you can recommend when you are approached by a buyer looking for a scent you do not have. Other sellers then also will do the same with you and your scents.
The four main scents for feet are: corn chip, vinegary, yeasty, or cheese. This is caused by the types of bacteria that live on your feet, and it does not mean you fit into only one of these categories. You can also have variations of the scents, parmesan cheese for instance.
You can also have a simply sweaty scent, which would be salty. I am a vinegar chip scent. I can not say it is a frito, but there is a Salt and Vinegar Chip scent to it. I recommend sniffing in all different materials of sock and shoe, as your sweat may react differently to each material. In nylons, scents are tangy at times.
Cotton socks may have a more mild scent after a day, then become a warmer but very strong scent after three days. It is also good to know that the pad of your foot, right behind your toes, seems to smell the strongest. When wearing some items, you can rotate to cover more area with your scent, if you would like it over more of the item instead of focusing on the strongest scent.

It's In the Details

Please also take note of how your scents change over time once they are removed. I think this is a huge miss if you are not aware and your buyers will suffer if you do not pay attention. How long do your nylons hold scent after they are removed? It is very hard to keep scent on some items, do you know how far your item will be traveling? If it is going to be travelling internationally, the shipping time will be longer due to customs and Covid protocols.
The last package I sent to Australia from the US was 6 weeks! Buyers should also understand you are setting an unrealistic expectation of a scent to last on an item for a long time if you are not paying for extra days to lock in a scent that will be travelling a long distance.
Sellers, what do you do when you need to shower? Airing out of an item for even a short period of time can ruin your time invested in your wear. I recommend keeping some baggies in the bathroom for when you do need to shower during a wear, as you risk diminishing the odor quickly. Do you store your items in a baggie as soon as they are removed? Or do you vacuum seal?
Please use caution with how you store while awaiting for shipping as well, as vacuum sealers are designed to literally remove all air (scent) from the item in the bag. I have learned this the hard way, and please test your methods of sealing before getting too many orders with one method. Ask for feedback on the scent, and ask them to be honest! You may have different experiences with your vacuum sealer and I strongly encourage every seller to test their methods, whichever they use.

Final Thoughts

Being honest to a buyer about how long you need to wear an item for the desired scent is also very important and should not just be used to gain additional funds. If your buyer is looking for a heavy fish aroma on a bodysuit, but you are not at that scent until your third day of wear, you should inform your seller that a short wear would not give that effect. Buyers should understand that not all scents are a 24-hour deal, and with some socks, you may not even smell anything if they were a short wear. Invest in the items you desire, and be honest with the outcome if you were expecting a lot with a little budget.
Also, it is very important to not only list your scents in your bio but on each and every item and in the keywords, separated by a space and a comma, under your listings. Your buyers are not always on the dash but are using the search bar to find that exact scent. It may feel redundant to you, but if your buyer is looking for boyshorts and you have your scents on your thongs only, they will not find you. It is a critical step to making the selling experience profitable for you.
Overall, you should love your scents and take pride in them. As someone who was extremely self-conscious about all my scents for decades, this place has made me realize there are people out there who will pay to sniff them, and I am happy to provide them with those items. I now proudly list my scents, and discuss them with buyers, and you should too!

As an additional highlight, there's an opportunity to snag a skin bundle for cheap right now. Shop skins are normally quite costly, so getting one basically for nothing (considering that the bundle price and the price of the premium included in it are the same) might be worth considering.
The bundle includes:

• Knight Adventurer Vanity Bundle (10 vanity items in total, including the mount skin)
• 7 Days Premium Status
• 50 Gold

All other Starter Packs are also on sale, but none of them are as good as this one.
And yes, the offer is available for both servers, so can be grabbed for the West server as well.
