H&M: Website Interactivity & Customization

H&M, an international-wide retail company– Its website is one of the most interactive and encourages customization in the retail industry that I’ve ever visited.

You can create your personal account. Within the account, there is a feature called ” Dressing Room”. It works the same way as dolling up a Barbie. You click on the clothes that you like, and it will appear on the model. The feature provides over 10 different models of different races and styles. For each model, it comes with three different hairstyles. You can also personalize the dressing room by changing the background color.

When I was mix and matching a shirt and skirt, I found out that there is an option of tucking the shirt underneath the skirt or the other way round. I really appreciate this function because it gives a more thorough presentation of the clothes.On the top left side of the dressing room, it calculates the total worth of the outfit. I think this function is very helpful because I’d want to know how much I need to pay if I am intended to buy the outfit.
If you liked the outfit that you designed, you can save it and/ or share the look with your friends through social media such as Facebook and Twitter. You can review your looks anytime later on in your profile under “My Looks”.

 As a shopper, the dressing room feature encourages me to do online shopping at H&M. When you shop online, you often have to rely on your imagination to see if the pieces of clothing match. But with this feature, I would know if the outfit would turn out nice. I also find H&M very thoughtful for letting users to share the looks. It allows me to conveniently get feedback from my friends and exchange ideas.
