Today, I set out on a quest to find something intriguing to write about, steering away from the usual, repetitive Nike-related posts that have become somewhat monotonous. As much as I appreciate the brand, I secretly wish they would pause their sneaker releases for a month to reignite our excitement. My search led me to journeys.com, where a pink pair of Vans caught my attention. While I wouldn’t personally wear pink shoes, the color certainly stood out.
Upon clicking on the product, I was astounded by a sub header that read: “virtually try the shoes on.” As someone who has experience selling shoes, this feature was an exciting revelation, especially considering the high return rates associated with online sales, especially on platforms like Amazon. Many customers treat Amazon as a wardrobe, and during the 2017 Christmas season, I incurred a return rate close to 50% due to various complaints, such as the shoes not being suitable or other unfounded reasons. This is one of the main reason why I decided to stop selling on Amazon.
A Game Changer For Sure
The possibility of a virtual try-on feature like the one offered by Journeys is without a doubt a game-changer in the world of online shoe sales. Eager to test it out, I clicked on the button, activated my camera, and voilà ! The images below showcase the results, and I must say, I’m still quite thrilled about this innovative approach.
Try It Yourself
My enthusiasm for this innovative approach has only grown since my initial encounter, and I can’t help but share my excitement with fellow sneaker guys. So, why not embark on your own virtual try-on adventure? Head over to journeys.com, explore their collection, and give this incredible feature a shot.
