GLOIn the era of digital commerce, consumers are seeking more intuitive ways to discover and buy products. However, there has been a gap between visual inspiration and finding the exact product for purchase. To address this challenge, companies like Poshmark are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to redefine consumer experiences, specifically in visual shopping.
Poshmark recently launched “Posh Lens,” a consumer tool that allows users to search for secondhand styles by uploading a photo. The tool uses machine learning models for product identification and similarity to locate relevant listings. Poshmark has been refining this feature to enhance the shopping experience and help sellers make their merchandise more discoverable.
To implement visual search, Poshmark collaborated with Naver, a Korean internet company that acquired Poshmark earlier this year. The platform’s community has responded positively to Posh Lens, and Poshmark continues to listen to user feedback to improve the experience.
In addition to Posh Lens, Poshmark also introduced “Posh Shows,” a live-selling feature that allows shoppers to engage with sellers in real time. These innovations provide fresh avenues for consumers to explore and shop within the Poshmark ecosystem.
Poshmark’s focus on community sets it apart from competitors. The platform’s sellers support each other, creating a unique culture that fosters lasting connections. This emphasis on community, combined with strategic technological investments like Posh Shows and Posh Lens, has contributed to Poshmark’s success and resonated more with consumers, leading to increased sales and loyalty within the platform.
