How to Use VModel.ai on TEMU to Reduce Costs and Increase Efficiency: AI Models Helping Fashion E-commerce Save Money
In the process of online shopping for a piece of clothing, 80% of the cost might go towards model photography and marketing. This data might surprise many people, but for fashion brands, it's just a part of daily operations. The fashion industry is driven by new arrivals to attract customers, but the cost of launching new products is enormous because photographing clothing on models is incredibly expensive.
The Dilemma of E-commerce Model Photos
When we shop online, we often notice that the same piece of clothing is sold in different stores with varying prices and materials, yet the model photos in the product details are exactly the same. Some merchants even use stickers or crop the model's head to avoid infringement issues. This highlights the high cost of real model photoshoots. For instance, clothing model photos involve a series of processes, including hiring models, studio shoots, and photo editing, often making them the most expensive and time-consuming type of e-commerce images.
In addition to the cost issue, time is also a factor. Hiring real models requires coordinating their schedules, which can result in long wait times, especially during major promotions when top models are booked up. After the shoot, the photos must be professionally selected and edited before creating the product detail pages, a process that can take several days. Setting up the shoot environment is also labor-intensive, and for large items like furniture, it can be as challenging as moving and redecorating a home.
