Virtual fashion showroom

What is a virtual fashion showroom?

A virtual fashion showroom is a digital space that is designed to simulate the physical fashion shopping experience. It's like a fashion boutique but with a beautiful, branded digital interface. It provides users with interactive and immersive access to garments and other fashion products. 

Your customers can walk through your 3D store, spin products 360°, zoom into fabrics, and even see how an item looks on a virtual model or their own body via AR. Virtual showrooms became a lifeline for fashion brands during the pandemic. They allowed businesses to present new collections and fulfill wholesale orders without physical appointments.

Benefits of a virtual fashion showroom

GlamAR’s virtual fashion showroom gives measurable advantages. Here’s how GlamAR’s platform benefits fashion brands:

1. Elevates customer experience

Most modern shoppers expect brands to display more than just static photos. Our virtual fashion showroom enables your customers to interact with your products, allowing them to experience the feel of what they want to buy. It replicates the feel of physical store shopping and makes fashion feel luxurious.

2. Increases global reach

A virtual fashion showroom connects brands with their customers worldwide, eliminating the need for booking venues or attending trade shows. With a virtual fashion showroom set up by GlamAR, your growth knows no bounds; the market that was once too expensive to target becomes reachable in just a few clicks.

3. Cuts operational costs

A virtual fashion showroom eliminates the need for physical samples, showroom rentals, and travel costs. It’s one of the ways you can save costs and still market your fashion products. It is particularly recommended for emerging brands or brands that frequently launch new collections.

4. Faster time-to-market

A virtual fashion showroom helps users try on fashion products without waiting for samples to arrive. You can showcase your digital versions of garments and other fashion products the moment they’re finalized. This will help you cut weeks or months off your launch timelines.

5. Sustainability

GlamAR’s virtual fashion showroom reduces the environmental impact of physical fashion stores. Shoppers would often drive to physical stores, which contributes to carbon emissions, just to try on or purchase fashion products. GlamAR now allows users to try on fashion products virtually and place orders from anywhere.

6. Reduces product returns

Another advantage of using a virtual fashion showroom is that it significantly reduces product returns. Customers return products when what they receive doesn’t match what they saw online.

Virtual fashion showrooms make the 3D representations of your products closely resemble the actual products. We ensure your customers have a realistic view of your product before making a purchase. 

7. Enhances brand perception

Embracing virtual fashion showrooms positions your brand as in tune with modern shopping behavior. Gen Z and millennials spend more time indoors and prefer shopping online, as well as a personalized digital experience. A virtual showroom allows you to align with the evolving lifestyle of your target audience.
