DAMI ONABOTE THE NETFLIX OF FASHION CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE November 19, 2018

THE NETFLIX OF FASHION In the next few weeks (let's be optimistic!), many of us will be working professionals again. Some of us also have a finite fashionista budget but still want to look like a million bucks. I, along with many of us, am often disappointed by the shopping experience: 1) Malls are often an unending maze 2) Online shopping frequently presents smoking mirrors (late delivery, poor quality material, product looks totally different online vs. in person) 3) Inconsistent sizing triggers returns and prolongs fulfillment time

WHAT NEXT

With the growing progress in AI, Machine Learning, I wonder what the Apparel Shopping industry will look like in the next 5-10 years?


Most likely, traditional retail will be non-existent. Shipping time for deliveries may be dramatically reduced by drone technology. Maybe robots that read minds and predict our needs will become our personal shoppers.


Certainly, the WOW Factor, Human Touch, Technology and Customization will continue to work hand in hand to create the ULTIMATE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.
