Well we have been using models quite a bit accross our sites as we already thought this makes us look differenet to other sellers. I have found the models through sites like Model Mayhem and Star Now, you tend to find models who are starting out or not signed to an agent which means you can get a good price! Hope that helps Stu Hey no problem, I always think its good to spread the word on some of this stuff and it was a good conference to attend, although I felt like the only independant there lots of big players like New Look and TXMaxx!

Perhaps you could "cut" the mannequin portion out? 1 in 17 is a conversion rate of 5.88% if my maths is right?

We've wondered about the whole mannequin or model question before (and also the "folded up neatly" effect) for jeans. Problem with models, of course, is you've go to pay them.

Obviously community is part of that, but I don't think we should neglect the traditional "make it easier to shop" features like wish lists and shopping carts that remember what's put into them for a decent length of time.
