TECHNICAL FIELD

Various embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to electronic product recommendations in the context of mobile applications and e-commerce websites and, more particularly, to providing electronic closet recommendation engines and displays of an apparel subscription application.

BACKGROUND

For subscription-based services, a key driver for retaining subscribers and enhancing user activities is ensuring that the subscribed services are actually being used to a desired extent. For example, a subscriber of a service is not likely to consider subscription costs to be worthwhile if it becomes apparent to the subscriber that he or she has not been actually using the service to a sufficient extent. Alternatively, a subscriber may remain loyal to the service provider, or become even more actively involved in the subscription activities, if the subscriber is satisfied with the amount of actual use.

In the context of apparel subscription applications, in particular, users may be unaware of how many different items of clothing they are entitled to rent (e.g., have “closeted” at any given time). Similarly, they may not realize what types of clothing or other articles they could be renting or closeting to get the most value possible out of their apparel subscription. In addition, users may be unaware of promotions, rewards, and other incentives that they might be entitled to for various combinations of closeted clothing and other articles.

The present disclosure is directed to overcoming one or more of the shortcomings described above. This background description provided herein is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the disclosure. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the materials described in this section are not prior art to the claims in this application and are not admitted to be prior art, or suggestions of the prior art, by inclusion in this section.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

According to certain aspects of the disclosure, systems and methods for providing electronic closet recommendation engines and displays of an apparel subscription application are disclosed.

In an aspect, a computer-implemented method for providing electronic recommendation engines and displays of an apparel subscription application may comprise determining a status of the user as being a valid user of electronic closet recommendation engines and displays of an apparel subscription application; determining, if the user is a valid user, a presence of apparel data in an assistant section of an electronic record corresponding to the user in a database of the electronic closet recommendation engines and displays; launching the assistant section of a user interface of the apparel subscription application, if the apparel data is present in the assistant section of the electronic record, wherein the user interface comprises one or more graphical elements displayed on an electronic device of the user; enabling the user to manipulate the one or more graphical elements to make one or more selections based on the apparel data to receive apparel via the apparel subscription application, wherein the one or more selections comprise try-then-buy, returned favorites, below-closet-minimum, next-box-prepared, or next-box-shipped; updating the apparel data based on the one or more selections made by the user; and analyzing the updated apparel data to display one or more suggestions to the user in the assistant section of the user interface.

In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may further comprise launching a first phase of the user interface if the user is a non-valid user. In some embodiments, the first phase of the user interface may not comprise the assistant section. In some embodiments, the valid user may be a user who pays a fee or on free trial. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may further comprise determining, if the apparel data is not present in the assistant section, a presence of apparel data in an at-home section of an electronic record corresponding to the user in a database of the electronic closet recommendation engines and displays. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may further comprise launching the at-home section of the user interface of the apparel subscription application, if the apparel data is present in the at-home section of the electronic record. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may further comprise launching an on-rack section of the user interface of the apparel subscription application, if the apparel data is not present in the at-home section of the electronic record.

In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may further comprise enabling the user to manipulate the one or more graphical elements to make one or more selections based on the apparel data to receive apparel via the apparel subscription application, wherein the one or more selections comprise try-then-buy, returned favorites, or return notification. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may further comprise updating the apparel data based on the one or more selections made by the user. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may further comprise launching an on-hold section of the user interface of the apparel subscription application, if the on-hold section is selected by the user or determined by the electronic closet recommendation engines and displays. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may further comprise enabling the user to manipulate the one or more graphical elements to move one or more articles from the on-hold section to the on-rack section.

In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may further comprise enabling the user to manipulate the one or more graphical elements to move one or more articles from the on-rack section to the on-hold section. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may further comprise enabling the user to manipulate the one or more graphical elements to delete one or more articles from the on-hold section. In some embodiments, the non-valid user is a user who may be a guest of, cancels, is a past payment delinquent of, or is a delinquent of the apparel subscription application. In some embodiments, the updating step may comprise obtaining the apparel data from the assistant section based on a plurality of updating events.

Additional aspects and advantages of the present disclosure will become readily apparent to those skilled in this art from the following detailed description, wherein only exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown and described, simply by way of illustration of the best mode contemplated for carrying out the present disclosure. As will be realized, the present disclosure is capable of other and different embodiments, and its several details are capable of modifications in various obvious respects, all without departing from the disclosure. Accordingly, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive.
