Oh Polly, an online women’s fashion retailer, is celebrating its tenth anniversary this week. The founder, Mike Branney, took to social media to showcase the brand’s remarkable achievements over the past decade. With 6.4 million followers on Instagram and 4.9 million on TikTok, Oh Polly has garnered over two billion views across social platforms in the last five years.
Recently, Oh Polly introduced a new feature named Nibble, an AI chatbot that allows customers to negotiate for lower prices. The response to this feature has been a mix of excitement and skepticism. One TikTok user shared her experience of successfully bargaining for a 14% discount on a dress, sparking a discussion among viewers. This move towards AI-driven price negotiation aligns with the evolving landscape of e-commerce, where tailored discounts can enhance customer engagement and boost sales.
According to a spokesperson from Dojo, a payments specialist, the integration of AI chatbots like Nibble is expected to become more prevalent in e-commerce platforms. The ability to offer personalized discounts without redirecting users can significantly impact conversion rates for retailers. However, the debut of this feature on Oh Polly raised concerns about pricing consistency and fairness among customers, highlighting the need for retailers to navigate dynamic pricing strategies in a balanced manner.
Meanwhile, Retail Technology Innovation Hub (RTIH) has launched the RTIH AI in Retail Awards, recognizing the transformative impact of AI tools in reshaping the retail landscape. As AI continues to revolutionize customer experiences, inventory management, and business insights, the awards aim to celebrate companies that effectively leverage AI to drive innovation and efficiency across retail operations.
The upcoming winners of the 2025 RTIH AI in Retail Awards will be announced at a prestigious event in London, emphasizing the growing significance of AI in enhancing omnichannel strategies and elevating the retail sector. With AI poised to play a pivotal role in the future of retail, businesses that harness its potential for operational enhancement and customer engagement are set to lead the industry forward.
As the fashion industry evolves, the integration of AI technologies like Nibble and the recognition of AI innovations through platforms such as the RTIH AI in Retail Awards underscore the critical role of technology in shaping the future of retail. By embracing AI-driven solutions, retailers can unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation, and customer satisfaction in an increasingly competitive market.
