Clothes Horse solves the problem of “what clothes will fit me?” when shopping online. At the point of sale on third party e-commerce websites, shoppers are told what size will fit them based on their own unique body. Our data-driven platform is licensed by online apparel retailers and enables them to increase conversion rates and decrease return rates.
Clothes Horse serves point-of-sale recommendations for clothing brands on their websites. Apparel websites lose 95-99%+ of their shoppers and shopping cart abandonment rates are sky high. Even after a sale, 20%+ of customers who receive clothes send them back anyway.
Consumers need our help too. With all the brands out there and no standard sizes, nobody knows what their size is anymore. Even if you figure it out, it can change from season to season, and from brand to brand.
Are you a brand owner? A lost customer? An interested reporter? We want to hear from you.
