Try Before You Buy — Without the Waste
Traditional e-commerce struggles with high return rates and unsold inventory. EmpowerWear flips the model:
let users try items through rental, love them, and then buy — sustainably and confidently.
Discover How It Works
- Eliminates the uncertainty of fit and style
- Reduces return rates to near zero
- Converts rentals into confident purchases
By integrating the try-on experience into the shopping process, brands can minimize returns and enhance customer satisfaction.
The Problem with Traditional E-Commerce
Why E-Commerce Returns Are Costing You
In the fashion e-commerce industry, return rates can average between 20% to 30%, significantly higher than the approximately 8% return rate in physical retail stores.
These high return rates lead to increased operational costs, inventory losses, and environmental waste. Common reasons include size mismatches and unmet expectations due to the inability to try on items before purchase.
EmpowerWear’s Solution — Try Before You Buy
Experience Before Commitment
EmpowerWear’s subscription, “Wear Boost” allows customers to rent and wear curated outfits, effectively trying before buying.
Brand Benefits
Higher Conversion
Unlike traditional e-commerce, where users visit sporadically and hesitate to purchase, WearBoost’s subscription model encourages consistent engagement.
Subscribers have already paid upfront — which means they return frequently to maximize the value of their membership. This drives significantly more traffic and engagement than typical online stores.
And since rental incur no additional cost, and no needs to wait at home for a delivery just to “try something on,” the barrier to try new outfits is dramatically lower — resulting in more confident, high-intent purchases.
