Entering the beauty eCommerce space can be a struggle. With saturated competition and limited brand recognition, shoppers might be apprehensive about ordering online from small beauty brands they haven’t heard of yet. That’s why Perfect Corp. delivers eCommerce tech solutions to help consumers be more confident in their online purchases.

For a limited time, qualifying small beauty brands can access our revolutionary artificial intelligence (AI) beauty technology for free to provide a better customer experience for their shoppers. This article will cover everything small brands should know about our industry-shaping virtual try-on (VTO) technology and whether they qualify to participate in our program.

The Benefits of Virtual Try-On for Small Beauty Brands

Online retailers and small upcoming beauty brands can reap many benefits from virtual try-on technology. Growing an audience of customers is essential for small beauty brands. Yet, to expand the sales pool, businesses have to focus on building purchasing confidence first and foremost, as customers may not be familiar with the brand’s identity, quality, or product inventory.

That’s where revolutionary virtual try-on technology (VTO) solutions come in. With beauty VTO technology, customers can try makeup and beauty products from the comfort of their homes and be more confident in their purchases. By simply clicking the integrated ‘try-on’ button on the retailer’s product page, shoppers can see an augmented reality (AR) version of the product on their face, with their unique features and skin tone, via the camera on the shopper’s electronic device.

Brands using VTO have seen increased sales conversions, improved customer engagement, and decreased returns and exchanges. For small brands, in particular, advanced AR-powered VTO can be a huge game changer.

With the use of VTO technology, small beauty brands can:

Increase purchasing confidence: VTO technology allows consumers to try on many makeup shades in seconds through a fully digital experience. This allows customers to see how makeup shades will appear when worn on their skin tone, thus helping them to choose the best shades and feel confident about their choice.
Entertain and engage consumers:VTO technology provides an immersive and fun experience, which is more important than ever as consumers become more digitally focused. This unique experience can help attract new customers and keep them coming back.

Enable personalization:VTO helps brands provide a personalized shopping experience to their customers, allowing them to see firsthand which beauty products will look best with their unique features. This individualized approach can help customers feel more valued, nurturing the customer relationship.
Boost sales:With the ability to try on products virtually, customers are more likely to find the right product(s) that suit them and follow through with a purchase. As more customers feel satisfied with their purchases, businesses will see their brand reputation and sales pools grow.

Overall, integrating VTO technology with small beauty brands’ eCommerce platforms can bring game-changing benefits, increasing one’s chances for success in this competitive industry.
