Take a look at Jewellery stores upping their glam game with exciting virtual try-on features!
If statistics are to be believed, over 2.14 billion shoppers now buy items online, a significant increase from just a few years ago. With the current world population of 7.9 billion, it means that 27% of all people that are alive are digital buyers. As more and more shoppers move to online shopping every day, investing in tools that build a first-time buyer’s trust has become an essential investment for online jewellery stores today.
The total number of digital buyers in India alone has reached a record high of 289 million, a number projected to go as high as 378 million by 2025. While there will always be a handful of customers who will always prefer shopping in-store, online jewellery sales are changing the game. The question is, is your jewellery brand taking advantage of the same?
If your answer is no, we’d like to take you through jewellery brands that are using technology to their advantage. With emerging tech like Augmented Reality, online jewellery stores are not just attracting new customers, but also building trust with their existing customers online!
Research shows that more than 6 in 10 customers prefer stores that offer AR experiences. Not just that, 4 in 10 shoppers would actually be willing to pay more for an item if they could first see it in AR. Here are some jewellery brands that are already offering virtual try-on jewellery experiences:
- Tanishq used Augmented Reality/ hybrid reality campaigns at Delhi and Bengaluru airports to engage with a large audience in 2019. Speaking of the importance of AR, a company representative remarked, “Consumers have the option of browsing through multiple jewellery pieces virtually with just one click. The real-time customer experience will definitely strengthen the retail connection between the brand and our esteemed consumers; a transformative step on how India will shop and purchase jewellery in the near future.”
