Description of Dresscovery
Real life example
I want
that
purse… How
could I
find it?
It is
probably
very
expensive
anyway… With Dresscovery, she would find the
purse if it is available in the database
and find whether or not it was
expensive.
But even more importantly, with
Dresscovery she would find very
similar purses too and could choose
(among the range of purses) the one
more suited to her needs in relation to
her purchase power thus matching all
the factors or variables included in a
purchase decision: beauty, price,
reputation, brand, time, craving, etc.
