due to labor involved

relative to other categories (e.g. books)

Risk Factors

Consumers Reluctant to Shoot a Video of Themselves

• Make the “trade” worthwhile for consumers (e.g., incentives)

• Let customers provide “my favorite” garment information to be used as a proxy for the measurements (e.g.: “my favorite pants are Levi’s 520 33x34)

Retailers Slow to Adopt the Technology

• Offer free trial periods

• Provides consumer coupon support

• Offer free campaigns for retailers on IvyPromise platform and social media
