How to Maximize Engagement and Reduce Returns with a Sizing Tool

Getting sizing right is one of the biggest challenges in fashion e-commerce. At TrueToForm, we’ve seen that the placement and promotion of a sizing tool can dramatically impact customer engagement and return rates. Here are 9 practical ways to make the most of it.

1. Add a Banner or Site-Wide Callout

Use a homepage banner or a site-wide announcement bar to highlight the new feature.

2. Explain the Benefits Clearly

On the product page or via a tooltip near the button, explain what customers gain:

3. Drive Engagement through Email & SMS Campaigns

Promote the “Find My Best Size” feature in marketing emails, especially:

Suggested copy: “Still deciding? Use our ‘Find My Best Size’ tool to get a personalized recommendation and complete your purchase with confidence.”

Link directly to the scan flow or product pages where it’s enabled.

4. Use Social Proof

Highlight real customer quotes or data that reinforces trust and performance:

If available, include testimonials about how easy it is to use or how well the fit worked out.

5. Include a Quick Explainer or FAQ

Add a short “How It Works” section near the button or in your FAQ/size guide to build trust and transparency:

6. Include It in Your Size Guide

Instead of a static chart alone, encourage customers to use the tool:

7. Use Pop-Ups or Nudges (Wisely)

Add a reminder if a customer adds an item to cart without using the tool:

8. Enable the Widget Across as Much Inventory as Possible

Make sure the “Find My Best Size” button is available on all eligible product pages, not just bestsellers.

This ensures a consistent sizing experience across the site and builds customer awareness and trust.

Shoppers are more likely to use the tool when they see it repeatedly, and they may abandon if it’s only available for select items.

9. Announce the Feature Publicly

Consider sharing the launch of the “Find My Best Size” feature as part of a broader sizing or sustainability story.

This can be done through a press release, blog post, or social media announcement.

Highlight how the brand is improving the customer experience and reducing returns, and reinforce your commitment to innovation, personalization, or sustainability.
