As an apparel manufacturer or vertical retailer would you like to increase your sales and reduce returns? If you could get customers to try your apparel on – and the first thing they tried not only fit right, but looked right - would you increase your sales? Me-Ality™ is a new shopping service that will dramatically improve customer’s shopping experience.

• They’ll know exactly what size to pull off the rack or order online.
• Based on their exact shape and size, they will be directed to the best style for their body.
• We make it easier for customers to try new brands.
• Sales and conversion rates will increase and return rates will decrease.
• Shopping will be faster, easier, and far happier for customers.

Plus, apparel manufacturers will gain knowledge about their customers they have never had before. Specific market intelligence will help in assortment planning and manufacturing decisions - a bottom-line enhancement that impacts the entire operation!

Industry statistics show that fit is the major reason for frustration and returns in apparel shopping. Shoppers don’t like trying on clothes and finding the right size is confusing and irritating. Me-Ality is the solution.

A quick visit to a Me-Ality mall kiosk and as simple as “scan, fit, shop” customers are given a shopping list of jeans and apparel that will fit and flatter them. We’ll even tell them the store in the mall to find their selections. They can also narrow their list to specific style features, or to favorite brands, or the price they want to pay.

Our system scans a customer, fully-clothed, in about 10 seconds, and matches them to the right size and style for their body (we use exact body measurements matched to apparel size specifications). The customer has a more positive dressing room experience, and apparel sales conversion is dramatically increased. Customers view recommended styles on-screen at the kiosk and then print their final selections to go shopping. Their personalized Me-Ality Shopping Guide is emailed to their phone. They can log onto www.me-ality.com and create their personal profile and generate as many Shopping Guides, and learn about new brands and styles, as often as they like.
