Sharing some insights to how retailers like Maison Margiela are leveraging VISX MEDIA
VISX MEDIA
Omnyway’s VISX service can be leveraged in 3 ways:
- To host live streams in real-time with integrated checkout for shoppers
- To host 1:1 video sessions with integrated checkout for shoppers
- To take video content, make it shoppable & allow to shoppers to view on their own time
As Maison Margiela, San Francisco, has customers all around the world, their retail team decided the best way to get started with VISX was by recording videos at their store, making them shoppable & sending to their clients. That way, Margiela customers could view the experience at their leisure. Now, if Margiela wanted to drop a new collection or introduce an exclusive collaboration, they would likely leverage VISX LIVE. In a previous blog post, we shared how GANNI uses VISX LIVE when launching new products or releasing a collab with another brand. Moreover, if a customer called the store & wanted to see an item, Margiela could use VISX DIRECT with that client & allow them to buy directly within the experience.

Insights to how Maison Margiela would create VISX MEDIA at their store.

Step 3: Grab the link from the VISX dashboard and text to customers!
Per the 3 steps above, you can see that creating VISX MEDIA is a straightforward experience. Again, you 1) upload a video into the VISX dashboard 2) add products to that video & 3) generate a unique link that can be sent to customers. In the final step (Step 3), we’ve highlighted an example of what sending VISX MEDIA to a customer looks like. The customer will find a preview image that can be clicked on. After the customer clicks the preview image, the VISX MEDIA the store created will then automatically open. See here how VISX formats all links you send into Preview Images that can be clicked on by customers.
