FAQs
Worth the cost?
Worth it for high-AOV bespoke (custom suits $1000+). Below $200 AOV, ROI doesn't justify. Cheaper alternative: encourage selfie-style virtual try-on (Camweara).
Customer adoption rates?
3D scan adoption ~10-25% of shoppers. Measurement form adoption ~30-50% (when it's necessary for purchase). Forms have lower friction so higher use rate.
