Fashion Forecasting with Samples: How to Predict Bestsellers

For brands within the fashion industry, anticipating product demand is not just an advantage—it’s essential to staying competitive. The power to predict best-sellers and ensure sell-through is the goal for any brand, yet it’s often hindered by fragmented processes and limited visibility into what truly drives product success. While market research and performance analysis of previous collections lay the groundwork, technology now plays a pivotal role in transforming these objectives into reality. A comprehensive tool can do more than predict best-sellers; it can streamline operations, enhance production efficiency and support sustainability efforts.

Imagine a unified system where every sample’s journey—its requests, locations, ROI and media exposure—is instantly accessible. Gone are the days of spreadsheets and manual performance tracking, which consume valuable time that could be better spent on strategic tasks. Instead, brands gain a clear, data-backed roadmap of what resonates with audiences, enabling them to proactively respond to demand with precision.
