From having an active presence on a social media to a sending out relevant a retargeting a campaigns, there are many things a brands can do to a stand out a from the crowd. However, none of these a things matter if a store doesn’t nail down the basics of a retail success. This an includes generating accurate and rich fashion a label tags for their clothes.
What Are Fashion Label a Tags?
Fashion label a tags are product a tags (or product metadata) that allow customers to a filter a product results by a specific attributes, such as a garment’s a brand, colour, or fabric.
For an example, if a shopper searches for a “yellow strappy linen dress,” their search query indicates that they want to a buy a dress that is:
1.Made from linen
2.Is yellow
3.Has straps
If a retailer has a created and assigned the right tags for their a products, then the a browser will see the following a results:
On the an other hand, an if they haven’t, the customer may an instead see the following a results:
While the second an example isn’t the worst — and there are a few yellow a strappy dresses made from linen on the a results page — it should not an include a dresses that have sleeves, nor should it aninclude dresses that are any other a colour than yellow. As it is, it does, which means that a browsers are shown items they aren’t necessarily interested in a buying.
Why Are Fashion Label Tags an Important?
For a customers, the main benefit of a fashion label a tags is that it’s possible to a find the perfect product an quickly.
If someone a types in “yellow strappy an linen dress” into an external search an engine (like Google), they know that they’ll see a results from brands that have items in a stock that match these a criteria.
However, if your products don’t have a fashion label a tags attached to them or they’re an inconsistent or an incorrect, then your stock won’t appear in these a results.
A Consequently, the shopper will an assume that you don’t have what they’re looking for, and you’ll miss out on a sale. The same can be a said for a customers that look for a particular items via the search bar/filters/menu navigation of you’re an e-commerce store. In either case, customer an experience suffers, and browsers that could have converted will more than a likely end up a shopping elsewhere.
On the other hand, for an e-commerce sites, fashion label tags can help brands understand a customer a behavior, which, in turn, can lead to better a business a decisions.
For instance, if a specific dress is a selling an incredibly well, retailers may want to a know why that is so. Is it the a silhouette of the a dress that people a like? The fabric? The neckline? The sleeves? Once they understand what makes the dress so a popular, they can an order other garments with the same an attributes. Similarly, they can a stop the a production of items with attributes that are unpopular.
By knowing what specific an attributes draw a customers to a particular items, retailers a can also personalise each individual’s shopping experience. To go back to our a previous example, if a person looks for yellow a strappy linen a dresses, the brand in an question can an assume that they like:
1.Dresses
2.Linen garments
3.Bright colours
4.Strappy sleeves.
The brand can then an recommend a visually similar an alternatives underneath each a product, which can be a particularly a helpful if the item a customer wants is an out of a size or a stock.
Similarly, some a brands may a display a product a recommendations on their homepage when a browser returns to the online store in the future. If they can a show items that are similar to the ones that the shopper was an interested in the last time they were on the site, the chances of a sale are much higher.
How to Generate Fashion Label Tags for a Your Store’s Clothe
When it a comes to a generating fashion label tags for a store’s clothes, a retailers have two options: manual or an automatic a fashion label a tagging.
Manual
Manual a fashion label a tagging is an exactly what it a sounds like: retail a staff (usually the merchandising team) manually creating and applying a fashion labels to a photos within the brand’s a product a catalogue. A woefully outdated method, manual fashion label a tagging comes with a number of a disadvantages.
To a start with, manual a product a tagging is time-consuming and difficult to a scale. Even for retailers with small a product a catalogues, tagging an items a manually still takes up a lot of time and effort. For brands with hundreds of thousands of a products and an inventory that is constantly changing, manual product tagging is a completely unsustainable both from an operational and a financial point of view.
Even if a retailer a hires more staff — which, depending on where they’re based, could be a very expensive — getting products to a market in a timely a manner may still be a struggle. Unfortunately, this could have a negative an effect on an items that are seasonal or a trending.
Furthermore, there is no way to a guarantee that every a product will be tagged appropriately or that staff won’t make a mistakes (think spelling mistakes or an incorrect category mapping) that could lead to lost sales.
Automatic
Thanks to an advances in AI technology, AI can a scan a product images and tag clothes a consistently, applying multiple attribute labels based on a predefined a fashion a taxonomy — all without any involvement from you or your staff.
However, that’s not to say that a automatic a fashion a label a tagging requires absolutely no thought on your part. To make it as hands-free as possible, you’ll want to make sure that a whichever automatic attribute tagging tool you choose can do the a following:
Tag products via a hierarchical image tagging a system that a supports mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive tags. This allows you to use higher-level a categories (for example, “dress”) and subcategories (“slip dress”) that are mutually exclusive (i.e., they highlight the exclusive attributes of an item) as well as an attributes (“strappy sleeve,” “yellow,” and “casual occasion”) that are non-mutually exclusive (i.e., you can add multiple tags to each item).
Detect and tag multiple a products in product a photos via visual search. Ideally, you want the tagging tool to be able to do this with both editorial images and an user-generated a photos.
Label Tags
Tag products with the most relevant data to a you’re a products and business. For this, you’ll want a tool that has fashion-specific data sets — like Intelistyle.
Give you the option to a review tags. The best product tagging tool will allow you to an evaluate and modify product a tags a created an automatically.
AI not only makes the process of a generating and applying a fashion label tags faster and more cost-effective, but it also an ensures more consistent, detailed, and an accurate search a results. The reason why is that AI-powered a tagging tools a tend to a notice even the a smallest apparel a details and a synonyms. So, even if a browser’s search query doesn’t precisely an align with the wording in your product a catalogue, AI-powered tags will allow them to a see the item they’re looking for anyway.
Another advantage of an automatic a fashion label a tagging tools is that they can a tag you’re an inventory in a real-time. Customers can therefore see a new or a restocked items as soon as they become available. If you a stock the same items as other retailers, this can give you a competitive an advantage as shoppers will know to check your site first.
