Top Fashion Brands Use AI-Driven Omnichannel MySizeID And Naiz Fiz To Deliver The Right Size The First Time Around

MySize, Inc.

By Ernest Dela Aglanu, Benzinga Shopping for clothing online, while convenient, can at the same time be very difficult, especially because the buyer can't try the clothes on first. All too often, they may receive apparel that doesn't fit – sometimes marring an otherwise great experience. A survey conducted by Power Reviews revealed that clothing topped the list of items returned by customers who purchase online. Clothing led with 88% returns, followed by shoes at 44%, and electronics at 43% as the most returned product categories. The survey further explained that the top three reasons people gave for returning an item were that it didn't fit (70%), the item was damaged or defective (65%), or the item didn't match the description (49%). These fit-related problems are costing retailers worldwide $642.6 billion, and only 48% of returns can be resold at full price. Even worse, an estimated 5 billion pounds of returns end up in landfills. To help solve this nagging problem and ensure customers receive clothing and other items that fit, MySize Inc. (NASDAQ: MYSZ) (TASE: MYSZ.TA), an omnichannel e-commerce platform and provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven measurement solution, has been partnering with a growing list of top retailers. Since 1999, the company has developed products such as MySizeID and recently acquired Naiz Fit to enhance customers' shopping experience by helping them find the perfect fit while driving revenue growth and reducing costs for its business clients. MySize says it is helping fashion brands and retailers use AI to create virtual try-on experiences. Now, customers can use their smartphones to create a profile and then virtually try on different clothing items. Top Fashion Brands Are Using MySize Technology Interestingly, some big brands have adopted MySize AI-driven measurement solutions to enhance customer experience while maximizing profits, serving as a testament to the quality of their product. In May last year, Denim brand Levi Strauss & Co. (NYSE: LEVI) revealed that it was adding more digital tools like MySize technology to help customers find the right size jeans as part of its mandate to grow direct-to-consumer sales. The company said it would implement two new digital fit features to its site: a predictive fit algorithm and a photo bank of products on people of different body types. Forint S.p.a., a leading Italian maker of uniforms for customers including the Vatican, Italy’s Presidency, and the Senate, in December 2022, selected the MySizeID sizing solution for its business. The company said it would offer MySizeID to all its business-to-business customers, providing a smarter and easier way to interact, resulting in a seamless experience and more accurate service. Another company that has adopted MySize's technology is Estudio de Moda SAS, a leading Colombia-based retail company with a portfolio of brands, including Diesel, Celio, Superdry PLC (LON: SDRY), Marithe François Girbaud, and Replay. The company announced on January 5 this year it will implement MySizeID sizing solution on its Diesel Colombia e-commerce site. Apart from the announcements mentioned above, MySize has entered into agreements with Temperley London, a luxury British fashion brand, and 7 For All Mankind (Brazil), a premium global clothing brand, to license its MySizeID apparel sizing solution. Also, after a year of proven success with Levi Strauss & Co. Turkey (Levi's Turkey), Dockers (Turkey) decided to integrate MySize's proprietary AI-driven sizing technology solution. According to the company, the successful integration of the MySizeID widget has reduced return rates for a subsidiary of the world's global leader in jeans wear. MySize believes that its technology, compared to others, can provide several advantages to consumers — especially including a better fit the first time — and retailers, who can save money because returns are reduced. People are also more likely to buy more when they are confident about fit. The technology also benefits the environment as it reduces waste associated with returns, carbon footprint, and clothing being discarded. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. MySize, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYSZ) (TASE: MYSZ.TA) is an omnichannel e-commerce platform and provider of AI-driven measurement solutions to drive revenue growth and reduce costs for its business clients. Orgad, its online retailer platform, has expertise in e-commerce, supply chain, and technology operating as a third-party seller on Amazon.com and other sites. MySize recently launched FirstLook Smart Mirror, a mirror-like touch display that provides in-store customers an enhanced shopping experience and contactless checkout. FirstLook Smart Mirror extends MySize's reach into physical stores and is expected to contribute to revenues through unit sales and recurring service fees.MySize has developed a unique measurement technology based on sophisticated algorithms and cutting-edge technology with broad applications, including the apparel, e-commerce, DIY, shipping, and parcel delivery industries.

Midas touch: British jewellery brand 7879 accelerates sales 977% in Y1 as revenues double

7879

British jewellery pioneer brand 7879 is today reporting a 977% increase in sales as revenue numbers set to double to £3m in 2023, just 12 months since launch. Founded by SecretSales.com founder Sach Kukadia and former BCG exec Ben Flowers, 7879 produces wearable jewellery items with two distinct features; all items are made from investment grade bullion and responsibly mined Platinum and are priced transparently for the first time (typically more than half of high street sellers) by weight in real-time according to the international bullion market. The growth and scale at 7879 has been led by customers seeking a fresh approach to collecting jewellery as quarterly revenues jumped 977% from Q1 to Q4 in the first year’s trading. Average order values increased linearly to £500 and continue to grow, while repeat customers have contributed almost 50% of revenue numbers over the year with some buying up to 19 times within a few months. Customers are split 60:40 female to male ratio as all products listed are unisex. The introduction of transparent pricing has led to a disproportionately higher volume of platinum to gold sales, compared to the industry average. The company’s name 7879 reflects the atomic numbers for platinum and gold on the periodic table, with all items being made from 100% recycled 24k gold or ethically mined platinum. 7879 customers can, for the first time, buy pure precious metals in the form of wearable jewellery, accurately reflecting the items true underlying cost, providing everyday jewellery that can generate potential yields on the metal value. The jewellery’s precious metals value can be tracked through a personalised online portfolio where they can sell back their items, regardless of its condition, for the prevailing price of platinum or gold. When items are sold back to 7879, the company melts the items down and repurposes the metal into new pieces, creating a circular ecosystem with a focus on sustainability and their carbon footprint. All packaging is fully recyclable too and uses no plastic. Sach Kukadia, co-founder and CEO of 7879 commented: “We had a brilliant first year and are set to take off in 2023. Consumer behaviour post pandemic has shifted towards smart purchases that may offer reduced risk. Our jewellery will hold monetary value forever and we believe jewellery should be viewed with the same investment thesis as property, wine or fine art. It is clear consumers want value exchange with every purchase; not only do we promise liquidity at any time but we sell jewellery pieces produced using a superior purity, for a fraction of the price, as well as a guaranteed sustainability promise. Furthermore, at a time of significant economic uncertainty, we believe selling jewellery transparently – not just in terms of pricing but also in quality – is key to paving the way to a sustainable future.” The 7879 collection, comprises unisex pieces in weighted and solid 24-karat recycled gold or responsibly mined platinum, is designed in-house, with each piece hand finished, ASSAY office approved, hallmarked, certified and authenticated for the purity of metal. Every piece bought from 7879 comes with a lifetime warranty as well as having the benefits of being hypoallergenic and antimicrobial. “Gold and platinum landed on earth in a colossal meteor shower 4 billion years ago and in its purest form, it is antimicrobial and hypoallergenic, making our jewellery perfectly positioned in a world of heightened sanitisation post pandemic.” added Ben Flowers, CTO and cofounder at 7879. 2022 - key business highlights: February - Launched 'Made to Order' program (never out of stock) April - Launch in Selfridges as part of their “Shopping the Future” campaign May - 7879 generates £130k in sales June - 7879 receives £5.5m seed investment October - Launch of London Underground and Billboard Campaign November - 7879 launches in Harrods for Black Friday and Christmas December - 7879 finishes year on £1.5m+ sales Following a successful start, 7879 plans to quickly expand abroad in the first half of 2023 driven by demand from brand partners and retailers in the USA, Europe and the Middle East. New product launches are planned every month with a focus on everyday wear. About 7879 Transparency lies at the heart of the business. Product prices are driven by weight, real-time international bullion markets, and an honest craftsman's fee. This straightforward pricing formula enables consumers to track their jewellery's daily value using their personalised portfolio. If they decide for whatever reason to sell, 7879 guarantees to buy back all pieces based on the prevailing market price minus a nominal transaction fee. 7879 takes its sustainability responsibilities seriously. Items sold back to 7879 are subsequently melted down and recycled, thereby creating a circular ecosystem that reduces impacts to the environment. All the gold used is made from recycled gold, and all the platinum is responsibly mined. 7879 also minimises its environmental footprint by using recyclable material for their packaging. For more information please visit https://7879.co/ Further background Sach has a proven track record in e-commerce and fashion, having founded Secret Sales, the UK’s pre-eminent flash sales platform for fashion and accessories, with his brother Nish. Under their leadership Secret Sales was scaled into a business with annual revenues of £50m and a team of 150 within eight years, before selling the business. Secret Sales was ranked in The Sunday Times Tech Track 100 as one of the UK's fastest growing private companies and Sach personally has been recognised as Fashion Entrepreneur of the Year 2014 (Great British Entrepreneur Awards), Entrepreneur of the Year 2015 (Asian Achievers Awards) and featured in Retail Week's E-tail Power List Top 50 in both 2015 & 2016. Sach also chairs Rehaus, a digital marketplace for pre-owned designer furniture. Ben Flowers comes from a technology background, having worked in various London-based start-ups and software consultancies. He has most recently been working as a Venture CTO at BCG Digital Ventures (BCGDV), the dedicated business-building firm of Boston Consulting Group (BCG). BCGDV is the industry's leading business builder and has launched nearly 200 trailblazing businesses, with a success rate that is unmatched industry wide.

High Apparel Returns Can Have Significant Impact On The Environment, As An Estimated Five Billion Pounds End Up In Landfills; MySize (NASDAQ: MYSZ) May Have The Solution

MySize, Inc.

By Ernest Dela Aglanu, Benzinga MySize Inc. (NASDAQ: MYSZ) (TASE: MYSZ.TA), an omnichannel e-commerce platform and provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven measurement solutions, is systematically carving a niche for itself as a leader that believes in environmental sustainability. For over two decades, the company has been working to solve two critical problems facing the fashion retail industry — customers receiving apparel that doesn’t fit and reducing returns that sometimes end up in landfills. A survey conducted by Power Reviews revealed that clothing topped the items returned by customers who purchase online. Clothing led with 88%, shoes were at 44%, and electronics at 43% rounded off the list of the top three most returned product categories. The study further elucidated that the top three reasons people gave for returning an item were that it didn’t fit (70%), the item was damaged, or defective (65%), or the item didn’t match the description (49%). These fit-related problems are estimated to be costing retailers worldwide $642.6 billion, and only 48% of returns can be resold at full price. While it’s expected that returned apparels go back on sale, that’s unfortunately not always the case because retailers seem to spend more on assessing and repackaging them than trashing them, which may appear cheaper. Sadly, an estimated five billion pounds of returns end up in landfills, prompting experts to conclude that fashion has developed a notorious environmental footprint — accounting for up to 10% of global carbon dioxide output. There are now concerns that the fashion industry will retain its unwanted reputation as a significant contributor to climate change should marketing practices that encourage waste and fuel emissions continue to persist. While some brands like Burberry Group plc. (LON: BRBY), Nike Inc. (NYSE: NKE) and American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (NYSE: AEO) have moved toward donating and repurposing returned goods, a large number of retailers are still trashing returns. Now, concerns around environmental sustainability are influencing consumer behavior. The Capgemini Research Institute found that almost 80% of consumers are changing their shopping habits based on social responsibility and environmental impact. This is where MySize ’s sustainability-focused business practices could enhance value in the industry, especially as there is currently a global push for the reduction of waste and preservation of resources like clean air, water and wildlife for future generations. Brands are more likely to use MySize’s solutions to show their consumers that they are green. Some well-known brands have already adopted the company’s technology. On January 24, MySize revealed that Germany-based multidisciplinary fashion label Rotholz had selected and fully implemented the Naiz Fit sizing solution on its e-commerce site. A press release by the company said the selection showed how fashion could be made in harmony with nature, people, and ethics, as Rotholz works in collaboration with creatives from all over the world to bring together advanced design and production processes. “Naiz Fit is now used throughout Europe and beyond to create a superior customer experience and to support sustainable shopping. We welcome Rotholz as our latest fashion brand to adopt a MySize sizing solution, and we’re pleased to be a part of their corporate sustainability ethic,” Ronen Luzon, MySize CEO and founder, said. Spain-based Natura also fully implemented the Naiz Fit sizing solution allowing customers shopping at Natura’s online stores and its 200 physical stores throughout Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Andorra to use the Naiz Fit app to take their measurements and match their ideal fit with Natura’s apparel collections. Natura has been committed to making the world a better place with its unique and environment-friendly products, including a broad selection of apparel for women, men, and children. Through the Natura Award, the company has been creating a positive impact around the world by supporting more than 70 humanitarian aid and nature protection projects since 1994. MySize entered into an agreement with 7 For All Mankind (Brazil), a premium global clothing brand, to license its MySizeID apparel sizing solution in August last year. “7 For All Mankind’s commitment to continuous improvement to serve humanity is admirable, and MySizeID is pleased to partner with them in their mission,” Luzon said. Esber Hajli, CEO of 7 For All Mankind (Brazil), on her part, commented, “By implementing MySizeID, an innovative, market-leading sizing solution, we believe we can significantly reduce returns and its associated financial and environmental costs.” This article was originally published on Benzinga here.

Expert Tips for Investing in 2023

YourUpdateTV

The world of money and investing reached an important milestone recently: the 30th anniversary of the very first exchange traded fund launched in the U.S. The SPDR® S&P 500® ETF – simply referred to as “SPY”- made its debut in January of 1993, revolutionizing the way investors big and small invest. 30 years later SPY has become the largest exchange traded fund in the world, with more than $355 billion in assets. But what is an ETF? How do they work? And how do we know which one is right for us? Recently, Allison Bonds, Head of Private & Independent Wealth Management at State Street Global Advisors participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the 30th anniversary of SPY and the impact ETFs have had on investors. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/0ovMXGxmqKc While ETFs are not new, even the most novice of investors can now transform their investment portfolios and potentially reduce the cost of investing. According to a recent study from State Street Global Advisors, over half of U.S. investors with ETFs in their portfolio believe they have made them a better investor, and nearly 60% say ETFs have improved the overall performance of their portfolio. Today, ETFs have become core building blocks for investors making decisions about where to put their money to work in the market. The growth of ETFs to include different types of funds in a variety of asset classes has further added to their appeal with investors who value having choices. Overall, the perceived benefits ETFs have brought to investors globally is overwhelmingly positive- whether or not they even own ETFs. More than half agree ETFs are an investor-friendly investment product (58%) and are better diversified than other investment products (54%). Toward the end of 2022 SPY was trading three times more than Apple — the largest security in the world by market cap. That volume, combined with the size of SPY’s assets,, liquidity, and resilience, has been vital to investors as they construct asset allocation portfolios and navigate extreme market events.
