Listings with professional-looking videos sell 3× faster than those with shaky, poorly lit footage. You don't need expensive gear — just consistent technique.
The 10 secrets
- Film in landscape mode — it fills the Troverve feed card perfectly.
- Use natural daylight. Shoot near a window between 8 AM and 4 PM for soft, even light.
- Keep your background plain: white wall, neutral sheet, or clean floor.
- Use a tripod or prop your phone — hand-held shaking loses buyer trust.
- Lead with the best angle — you have 2 seconds to stop the scroll.
- Rotate slowly: front → back → sides → bottom. No quick flicks.
- Zoom in on every defect. Hiding flaws costs you returns and your seller rating.
- Include a size reference: hold the item next to your hand, a ruler, or a common object.
- Keep it 20–45 seconds. Shorter is better if the item is small and simple.
- End with the item laid flat — buyers often screenshot this for reference.
The sellers with the highest ratings on Troverve share one habit: they record every item the same way, every time. Consistency builds a visual brand that buyers recognise and trust across multiple purchases.
