How to choose the right mannequin

  • Research the target customer group: Understanding the age, interests, lifestyle, and needs of the target customer is key to choosing the right mannequin. The appearance, image, and behavior of the model should resonate with the target customer group so that customers can see themselves in the model.
  • Consistency of brand image: The mannequin should be consistent with the brand image. If the brand emphasizes a healthy and positive image, choose mannequins whose appearance and temperament match that image; if the brand seeks individuality and innovation, choose mannequins with a unique style and personality.
  • Natural expression and expressiveness: It is important to choose mannequins that can naturally showcase the brand’s products. The mannequin should have expressiveness and good posture control, and be able to display the features and functions of the product vividly through movements and expressions to attract customers’ attention.
  • Storytelling and emotional connection: Choosing mannequins with personalities and compelling stories can increase the brand’s storytelling and create an emotional connection with customers, enhancing brand loyalty.
