More sales from the same footfall, in a saree shop
Every shop wants more footfall. Footfall is expensive. The cheaper win is hiding in the people already inside: the ones who liked something and left anyway.
Count the silent walk outs
Stand near the door for an hour and count the people who leave empty handed. In most saree shops it is well over half. Very few of them disliked everything. They could not decide, and deciding on a saree is hard for one specific reason: nobody actually tries one on.
Remove the deciding problem
When a customer can see herself in a design in a minute, three things move. She considers more designs, because looking is free. She trusts what she sees, because it is her own face and not a model's. And the conversation with your salesman changes from will it suit me to which of these three, which is a conversation that ends in a sale far more often.
Sell what you would never have pulled out
The lady who says lehengas never suit her will not ask to try one. She will happily tap one on a screen. The gentleman who buys the same white shirt every year will look at himself in a sherwani if it costs him nothing. These are sales from stock you already own, to customers already in the shop, that no amount of footfall spending produces.
Learn from the ones who still leave
Some will still walk out. The difference is that now you know what they tried, what they lingered on, and what they liked but did not buy, with their number if they chose to leave it. That list is your reorder plan and your festival follow up, written by your own customers.
The test that matters
Do not take any of this from an article. Take the free hour: we set the screen up in your shop, your customers use it, you watch. Then divide our monthly price by your average bill and decide with your own numbers.
