Shopping in-store should be easy, relaxing, and entertaining. Customers should be able to easily get what they want without any hassles.
YouSpace partnered with Modern Avenue to redesign one of their high-end fashion brands, 01MEN into a futuristic smart shop at Parc Central Mall in Guangzhou, China. The store design attempts to integrate the latest YouSpace technology and bring a new level of engagement and entertainment experience to its customers.
The Challenge
Redesign 01Men Shop - use YouSpace technology to create a 360° shopping experience for its customers and to enhance the traditional retail shopping experience.
Discovery
01MEN is a high-end mens boutique fashion brand. With its sensibility to fashion trends, 01MEN aims to share its aesthetics to every aspect of daily life of upscale elites and fashionistas.
Customer pain points - Seeking new technology to improve the current shopping experience, customization, and convenience.
Retailer pain points - Increase revenue, reduce the rental costs, renovation, labor and inventory, and improve the online ecosystem.
Development Journey
The existing 01MEN shopping ecosystem is based on the traditional method: physical product window display, big poster signage printout (which changes every 2 weeks), physically and manually change store theme every month, 1 fitting room, 4-6 associates, and lack of inventory storage space.
The new smart shop is designed around 3 major essentials: People, Space, and Operations (details below).
We are creating a 360° shopping experience for our customers. We emphasize the fact that 01MEN cares and is the best fashion advisor to its customers.
