LESSONS FROM FAST-FASHION Select brands are rapidly adjusting their merchandise portfolio to mimic the success of fast-fashion brands. Increased variety underscores the urgency of investment in personalized product recommendations and accompanying offers. LESS IS LESS… To date, only a third of brands offer customers the tools to define a robust user profile (beyond purchase history) and less than 10 percent incorporate advanced product recommendations into persistent account settings.
