Tips that actually move the needle

Five things merchants do that turn try-on engagement into sales.

  • Start with your bestsellers.

    Engagement compounds where shoppers are already interested — features pile up where traffic already lives.

  • Use clean product photos.

    Mannequin shots, plain backgrounds, and good lighting produce the most flattering results — which means more confident purchases.

  • Turn on email capture.

    A try-on is a strong buying signal. Catching the email lets you re-market the look they already saw on themselves.

  • Place the button near Add to Cart.

    The closer to the buying decision, the higher the engagement.

  • Send a follow-up offer.

    Pair captured leads with a small discount in your email tool. Try-on intent + a nudge = conversion.

What works best

Try-on is best with apparel like tops, dresses, and outerwear photographed cleanly. Accessories and complex layered outfits are hit-and-miss — test on your actual catalog before promoting.
