If you’ve been here awhile, you know my love for the Karrot App! Well now they’ve added a new feature, an AI Helper to make your listings even more seamless. Karrot is different from other marketplaces, with their phone number verification process that guarantees people are who they say they are and that you only shop with people in your neighbourhood! Nothing irks me more than bots on the other listing platforms!
Ok, petty rant but if you’re like me, I dislike how many bots are now on other platforms. They are trying to scam you with listings, and you don’t even know if you’re talking to a real person or not when trying to buy an item. I get a better, authentic experience on Karrot!
Let’s get back to the new AI Helper feature on Karrot! I dread having to come up with eye-catching titles or fun descriptions to sell my items, but Karrot’s AI Helper generates both for me! If only I could extend that to my texting and work emails!
This is my favourite new feature! It also suggests pricing based on data and that takes away the hassle of combing through listings first to see what others have sold. I like being able to input my information and see that number come up, easy peasy! Having the AI Helper generate a competitive price makes me feel like Karrot’s actually helping me to sell my items—it’s more than a marketplace; it’s a partner.
Lately, I’ve been on a big purging spree in our home, listing baby products we’ve grown out of and a few of Rowan’s toys before the holidays come around. The rule is, if we haven’t used it in the last year, it’s finding a new home!
I used to sell on another large platform, but with people ghosting my ads, too many options to sort through and just trying to sell within my area became too much of a hassle. Since using Karrot to sell my used kids toys and baby gear, among a few other household items, I find it easier to offload them onto new homes! This way, we aren’t letting anything go to waste or to the dump. Instead Rowan’s or Isabella’s used items are going to a new home to be appreciated. Kind of similar to the movie Toy Story with Andy’s toys!
If you’re looking to do a clear out before the holiday season, download the Karrot App! It feels good making space not only in my home but my head with less clutter!
