Clothing
A trade where sizing and returns decide the margin, the photograph is the product, and stock changes faster than the advertising.
Clothing online has a problem other categories do not: the customer cannot try it on. Everything that reduces uncertainty about size — a precise guide, real measurements, a photograph on a person, a clear returns policy — raises sales and lowers returns at the same time.
The second point is the return itself. In a model dominated by cash on delivery, a refused or returned item costs the round trip and locks up stock for the whole cycle. The return rate is therefore a margin figure, not a customer-service indicator.
The third is rhythm. Collections change, sizes sell out, and advertising running on an out-of-stock item produces cancelled orders and irritated customers. Linking stock to campaigns is not a technical detail, it is a condition of profitability.
Finally, the photograph is the product. Nobody buys a garment from a description: image quality, a real model, and colour fidelity decide. It is the line where investment pays back most directly.
What we usually find
- A third of your orders come back because the size was wrong.
- Your photographs do not show the fabric’s real colour.
- You advertise sizes that have sold out.
- Customers ask for measurements in messages because they are not on the page.
What changes
Fewer returns
A precise size guide and real measurements reduce the leading cause of returns, which weighs directly on margin.
Pages that answer on their own
Size, fabric, colour and charges stated, which removes half the pre-purchase messages.
Campaigns that follow stock
Sold-out sizes drop out of the advertising, which stops paying full price for cancellable orders.
What you get
A real size guide
Measurements taken from your own items, not a standard table that matches nothing.
Photographs on a person
The garment worn, with the model’s size stated, which is the only useful reference for a buyer.
Colour fidelity
Consistent shooting from one piece to the next, because a misleading colour is a cause of returns.
Stock linked to campaigns
Unavailable lines and sizes withdrawn automatically from the advertising.
A clear returns policy
Written and visible before purchase, because ambiguity produces disputes and negative reviews.
How we work
Measure the returns
How many, on which items, for what reason. Sizing dominates almost always, and it can be corrected.
Fix the product pages
Real measurements, fabric, care and charges, answering before the question is asked.
Produce the photographs
A batch session, worn, with consistent treatment that does not betray the colour.
Connect the stock
Campaigns follow availability by size, not only by product line.
Measure on collected revenue
The useful figure is the order delivered, paid for and not returned. The rest flatters the reports.
Is this the right fit for you?
This is for you if
- You sell clothing and already deliver.
- You can measure your items and photograph them worn.
- You accept treating your return rate as a margin figure.
This is not for you if
- You want more traffic without fixing the product pages. Returns will rise with sales.
- Your stock changes with nothing reflecting it online. Advertising will pay for cancellations.
- You use supplier photographs that do not match what you sell. Returns are guaranteed.
What we commit to
Real measurements
Taken from your own items. A copied standard size table is the leading avoidable cause of returns.
No retouching of colours
A flattered colour produces a return, which costs the round trip and an unhappy customer.
Advertising linked to stock by size
Not only by product line: a sold-out size has to leave the campaign, or you are paying for a cancellation.
How do you sell clothing online in Algeria?
Cash on delivery makes returns particularly expensive: the parcel goes out, comes back, and the item is locked up for the whole cycle. A high return rate is therefore not a service problem, it is a loss line, and reducing it is worth more than raising traffic.
The photograph is what sells, and the visual reference is high because buyers compare with international accounts. A worn photograph, properly lit, with the model’s size stated, converts markedly better than a flat product shot — and reduces returns at the same time.
Finally, most traffic lands on a product page from a social platform. That page therefore has to contain everything that decides: measurements, fabric, price, estimated delivery charge, availability by size, and a way to order immediately.
Frequently asked questions
How do we reduce returns?
By attacking sizing, which is almost always the leading cause: real measurements, a worn photograph with the model’s size, and a clear guide. It is the most profitable correction in the sector.
Can we use supplier photographs?
Rarely without risk. They do not show your item as it arrives, and the gap produces returns that cost more than the photo session.
Do we need an online shop?
When volume makes messaging unmanageable: orders copied by hand, sizes untracked, no customer data. Below that, social is enough.
How do we handle sold-out sizes?
By linking campaigns to stock by size, not only by product line. Advertising an unavailable size pays for an order you will cancel.
Should we accept returns?
A clear policy sells better than no policy, even a restrictive one. Ambiguity produces public disputes that cost more.
What photography budget should we plan?
It is the line where money pays back most directly in this trade. A batch session covering several pieces costs less per item than people expect.

What we have written on this subject
Clothing: the customer is not buying a garment, they are betting on a size
Size is the leading cause of a refused parcel, and the only one fixed with a tape measure rather than with advertising.End of season: when to mark down, by how much, and in what order
An unsold garment does not lose its value all at once at the end of the season. It loses it every day, quietly.
