At-home sampling and personalized services offer the ultimate in shopping ease


Implications - Designer eyewear brand Warby Parker was one of the first fashion pioneers of the at-home sampling business model, and now other apparel and accessories brands are taking a cue, offering customers the ability to sample and customize products from the comforts of their own homes. While customization has been heavily emphasized in retail over recent years, now it must also be married with convenience. Thus, retail is entering an era in which ease of shopping is rapidly becoming the essential factor in the purchasing decision.
