Recognizing the potential of visual search, Meesho was on the lookout for the perfect visual search partner who could ensure that they could put speed and ease of product discovery at the center of the visual search experience.
How to bring in ‘natural’ ways of searching for new-to-e-commerce customers?
Meesho targets customers in Tier 2 to 4 cities in India, recognizing that traditional text searches are less effective due to language barriers.
Shoppers are also increasingly inspired by celebrities/influencers and expect to help e-commerce brands find similar looks without making them do a lot of heavy lifting.
Embracing a more intuitive approach, shoppers can easily “See. Search. Shop.” by snapping a screenshot or taking a photo with their phones—whether on social media or offline. It’s as simple as that!
