The service largely caters to style-savvy millennials who are looking for a more personalized shopping experience. At the Dormify NYC showroom, consumers not only have an opportunity to see the brand's online collections in person, but they can also book an appointment with a [Dormify stylist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketchers-luna) to help them shop for [back-to-school supplies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uo-haul). Prior to the appointment, the stylist will reach out to the customer to get a better sense of their taste and style preferences. On the day of the appointment, the customer will then be able to have a one-on-one meeting with their stylist, who will show them pieces and collections that will work for them. The stylist will then help the customer order any pieces they love directly from the Dormify website. Dormify's personal shopping assistants not only help shoppers find the pieces they truly love, but also helps the online brand foster a more personal connection with its customers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Shopping Experience:** Dormify's offering of personal shopping assistants highlights the growing trend of providing a more tailored and individualized shopping experience. - **Offline-to-online Integration:** Dormify's NYC showroom not only showcases their online collections, but also encourages customers to make purchases directly from their website, demonstrating the trend of integrating offline and online channels. - **Enhancing Customer Engagement:** Dormify's use of personal stylists helps the brand foster a more personal connection with customers, reflecting the trend of businesses seeking innovative strategies to engage and retain customers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Retail:** Dormify's personal shopping assistants disrupt traditional retail models by offering a unique in-person shopping experience, enhancing customer satisfaction. - **E-commerce:** Dormify's offline showroom and online ordering process demonstrate the potential for disruptive innovation in the e-commerce industry by seamlessly integrating both online and offline channels. - **Fashion/interior Design:** Dormify's personal shopping assistants cater specifically to style-savvy millennials looking for personalized styling advice, indicating disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion and interior design industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mobile Dorm-Designing Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pottery-barn-teen-2.md) - [Personal Shopping Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ask-klarna.md) - [Personalized Fashion Advice Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-stylers.md) - [Elevated By-Appointment Shopping Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royalmount-montreal.md) - [Video Call Shopping Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialist-over-video.md) - [Personal E-Commerce Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klarna-virtual-shopping.md) - [Text-to-Shop Retail Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friday-personal-shopping-assistant.md) - [AI Fashion Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-ai-personal-stylist.md) - [Gamified Back-to-Campus Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uo-haul.md)
