Ever adapting, the retail world is the first to field consumer wants and needs. Now, with the latest fashion trends only a swipe away on mobile devices, retailers are scrambling to adopt the latest practices, particularly personalization.
eBay, which has recently expanded far beyond its roots in online auctions into e-commerce andon-the-go shopping with eBay Now is currently testing a six-month trial with London-based fashion startup Dressipi for its users in the UK.

The service ties in aspects of big data, social media and old-fashioned customer service, delivering what could be the ultimate shopping experience for time-crunched, style-savvy shoppers. But eBay isn't alone in its shift to "customer-centricity." Monetate co-founder and CEO David Brussin notesthat, “Marketers and sellers everywhere are focused on a big change in commerce that puts the customer at the top of the organizational chart.

Most recently, Nordstrom has tapped into its customers' social personalities by highlighting"top-pinned" items from Pinterest on its racks. Also, more retailers in the US and UK are usingfacial-recognition technology to help identify high-end clientele, allowing them to offer a completely different level of service before a customer even steps into a dressing room.
