How luxury retailer Aristocracy reduces refunds

In the competitive luxury menswear business, keeping customers satisfied is a top priority. One of the biggest challenges suit’s retailers face is helping shoppers get their size right when purchasing online. In this case study, we explore how luxury suits retailer, Aristocracy London, successfully implemented Prime AI custom build size finder solution on their WooCommerce eCommerce to reduce refunds and improve customer satisfaction .

The Challenge

As with most suit retailers, Aristocracy London customers were experiencing difficulty in choosing sizes for their full outfit online resulting in suits being returned or exchanged for a different size, increasing operational costs. The primary challenge was helping customers to get their full outfit (such as: suit, shirt, shoes, belt) sizes right the first time. Aristocracy London have tried different sizing recommendation solutions in the past such as asking customers to download a special app where they take pictures of themselves to determine the right size. However, very small number of customers were willing to download an app for taking pictures of themselves and the results were patchy. Luxury customers needed a more streamlined and convenient shopping experience .

The tool has helped our first-time customers to dial in their correct size. The questions are easy to answer for our customers and the recommendations are highly accurate. Our return rates have gone down by 20% in the last year. The integration was straightforward with our custom website and the tech support was quick & helpful.

Our cooperation with Prime AI is very successful, we are happy with the results. Also, optimisation of the tool has been implemented after multiple feedback sessions to which Prime AI has been very open. The UX was not the best, but after multiple feedback sessions, things got fixed.

The Solution

Aristocracy London implemented Prime AI custom build size finder technology for apparel and shoes, which uses advanced neural networks, as well as sales refunds and product data to help more shoppers to buy a size that fits. The solution was seamlessly integrated into their WooCommerce ecommerce platform, allowing customers to input their age, height, weight or answer a few simple questions about their body shape. Based on this information, the Prime AI solution recommended the most suitable size for each customer matching them in real time to the actual product they are viewing. With regards to footwear, Prime AI shoe size finder was deployed to measure foot dimensions and match shoppers’ foot to the shoe specification from a single picture taken from their smartphone camera without the need to download any app . The tool opens in the browser without leaving the retailers website.

The Results

After implementing Prime AI size finder in physical and online, Aristocracy experienced a reduction in refunds and exchange requests due to size, as well as improved customer satisfaction thanks to a more streamlined online shopping experience. The latter has resulted in improved conversion as customers are more confident to buy online thanks to the Prime AI tool.
