Chapter 2: The Evolution of Product Tagging in E-Commerce

Now, let's take a journey through the exciting evolution of product tagging in the world of e-commerce. It's like tracing how your favourite app or gadget has evolved over the years – always improving, getting smarter, and making our lives easier.

Timeline of the evolution of product tagging in ecommerce

The Old School Days

In the past, product tagging was comparable to tidying up a messy closet. It involved a somewhat manual process where the merchandising team had the important task of creating, assigning, and managing labels for products. It was akin to using sticky notes on everything just to keep track of your belongings.

The Birth of Digital Tags

Then came the [digital revolution](https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-was-the-digital-revolution.html#:~:text=The Digital Revolution Defined&text=During this time%2C digital computers,way to the Information Age.). Product tagging took a leap into the digital realm. Instead of actual sticky notes, we had digital tags. Brands started attaching metadata to products, and these digital labels contained everything from brand names, colours, sizes, and types. It was like finally moving from paper to a computer – things got way more organised and searchable.

The Game-Changer: E-commerce Boom

With the rise of e-commerce, product tagging became the superstar. Online shopping went through the roof, especially after the pandemic hit. People started buying everything online, from groceries to gadgets. And guess what? Product tagging played a pivotal role.

A Personalised Touch

As online shopping gained popularity, people desired a more personalised experience. They wanted to locate items swiftly and effortlessly. This is where comprehensive product tagging played a crucial role. It was akin to transitioning from a disorganised library to a meticulously catalogued one – shoppers could easily find what they needed.

Smart Tagging for Smarter Shopping

Today, we're in the era of smart tagging. It's like having a personal shopper who knows your tastes inside out. These tags not only help you find products but also give retailers insights into what you might like. It's like the app store recommending apps you didn't even know you needed.

A chronological timeline of product tagging

A chronological timeline of product tagging evolution

2010: It all began with Facebook

The first “sights” of automated image tagging date from the end of 2010, when Facebook introduced its facial recognition feature. This service was supposed to eliminate manual image tagging - the system was able to immediately recognize who’s on an image and suggest who should be tagged when people uploaded photos of their friends. Many similar solutions were brought to the market after that. However, the full potential of this technology was yet to be discovered. Realising that images are full of untapped data, companies wanted to find a way to process this data and leverage it to grow and expand their operations.

2015: Google launches Google Photos and becomes “disturbingly good at data-mining your photos”‍

In 2015, Google was probably further than anyone else when it came to processing image data. They launched Google Photos and enabled advanced photo sorting based on their advanced image recognition technology. The modern Google Photos app includes an automated face tagging feature as well.‍

2017: Google & Facebook make advancements, Pinterest marches ahead‍

2017: Facebook and Google Upgrades
In 2017, Facebook rolled out an update of their automated tagging features which could now find photos where users appeared and help them find out when others were publishing an image they’re on. The next upgrade of the technology came from Google that same year, when they started offering various auto tagging and automated sorting options. Now you could sort images by date, place, and visual features, like “red.” These advancements paved the way for the use of automated tagging in e-commerce.

Pinterest's Breakthrough
In 2017, Pinterest was one of the first to introduce automated image recognition, after the launch of their visual search engine in 2015. This new feature skyrocketed the platform’s popularity, especially because people were using the app mostly for its visual nature, which was now upgraded.

The Rest is History
These technological advancements in automated tagging and image recognition set the stage for their integration into e-commerce, transforming how products are discovered and organized online.

The Future Looks Bright

So, what's next for product tagging? Well, the future looks incredibly exciting. We're talking about more efficient searches, better recommendations, and even cooler ways to organise your virtual shelves. It's like going from a smartphone to a full-fledged smart home – convenience and innovation all the way.

The Impact of Effective Product Tagging on Sales and Discoverability

Close-up of Woman Wearing Red Dress with Zoomed-In Product Tags

Let’s imagine a situation where a shopper is looking for a black silk dress in your e-commerce store. However, when they enter the search term, they get an orange skirt. They would be disappointed, right?

This is probably the worst nightmare for any ecommerce store. If website visitors encounter a situation like this, they will get very frustrated and abandon your site. In fact, Janrain research discovered that 74% of online customers get annoyed when they come across content that is irrelevant. If a company's search feature falls short of expectations, the consumer would be disappointed.‍

To prevent this, all products in the product catalogue have to be well organised and tagged with the correct terms and keywords. However, manual product tagging is unrealistic and impossible to implement given the volume of products offered online today, the growing number of online retailers, the vast magnitude of different categories, and the need to combine visual features with product descriptions and function requirements.

Enter automated image tagging - one of the most important AI-driven products used by fashion marketplaces in the 2020s.

Chapter 3: Manual vs. Automated Tagging

In the world of e-commerce, the process of product tagging is like the navigation system of a ship. It directs products to their intended destinations, ensuring they reach the right customers. But just as ancient mariners had to rely on the stars to guide their way, e-commerce companies have had their own set of challenges when it comes to product tagging.

The Challenges of Manual Product Tagging

Imagine manually tagging thousands of products in an online store. It's a bit like trying to count all the grains of sand on a beach – an overwhelming and practically impossible task. Manual product tagging can be a daunting challenge for several reasons:

Human Error: Humans are, well, human. We make mistakes, and in the world of product tagging, even small errors can lead to big problems. A simple typo or oversight can result in products not showing up in relevant searches, causing frustration for both customers and retailers.

Time-Consuming: Manual tagging is incredibly time-consuming. It diverts valuable human resources away from more strategic tasks, such as optimising product listings, analysing customer data, or devising marketing strategies.

Scalability Issues: As your online store grows, so does the number of products. Manual tagging becomes increasingly unwieldy as your inventory expands. It's like trying to juggle more and more balls – eventually, you'll drop some.

Inconsistency: Different employees may tag products differently, leading to inconsistent product listings. This inconsistency can confuse customers and make your store appear unprofessional.

Now, let's navigate away from the challenges and set our course toward a more efficient solution.

Chapter 4: Automated Product Tagging

As the name suggests, automated product tagging is an automated alternative to manual product tagging. Automated product tagging is a method that uses AI algorithms to organise and tag photos of the product based on their details. The advanced image recognition algorithms that leverage deep learning make the tagging process automated and performed efficiently without the need for human intervention.

The automated product tagging process automatically generates metadata for catalogue assets. It scans the image and identifies patterns within that are linked to particular keywords. As their use gets more frequent, tags created this way can collect data not only about the catalogue data, but also about how and where they’re being used, who is searching for them, and how they correlate to other tags.

How does automated product tagging work and what are some of the challenges?‍

A human needs to catch a glimpse of an image of a clothing item to be able to decide what it is — a dress, a blouse, or jeans. For computers, this isn’t as easy, and that’s why a large part of inventory management is done manually by humans.

The problem with manual inventory management is that it’s extremely time-consuming, especially for retailers that have large catalogues.

Thankfully, with the advancements of Computer Vision and Deep Learning, scientists created Neural Networks that mimic the human brain. These Neural Networks can be trained to process an image the same way a human does. These advancements have made it possible for computers to “read” an image and produce semantic information in textual form.

Put simply, if a computer scans an image of a red, long dress, it will be able to recognise it as:

  • Dress
  • Long
  • Red

As you can notice, products don’t have only one tag — they have many different fashion tags. For example, an image of a blue shirt with flowers can have several fashion tags attached by machine learning technology — “blue shirt,” “floral shirt,” “slim-fit,” “formal,” “long-sleeve,” “buttoned-shirt,” etc.

This is a huge breakthrough and can make the operations of retail businesses much easier, simpler, and less time-consuming.

But how do computers learn how to read an image and understand what’s in it?

In order for AI systems and computer vision-based processes to recognize if a fashion item is in an image, they need to learn from a lot of images on how clothing and apparel look and what attributes can be used to describe them.

An automated product tagging system is simply a trained AI system that has seen thousands of previously tagged fashion images and has learned from them. Now, it can do the same — perform fashion tagging using various categories and attributes.

During the automated tagging process, the Deep Learning algorithm processes images or videos, extracts their characteristics, and discovers relevant objects.

By using automated tagging technology, retailers can rest assured their tags and labels are accurate, rich, and use a consistent taxonomy.

The first sellers started using AI technology for auto tagging, and automated tagging of products in e-commerce has slowly but surely become the preferred way to do things.

Even social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram have started using it - pictures now have product tags with information on the items that users can buy from a storefront.‍

Now, it's a fashion retailers’ move. The trends and data show that more and more fashion retailers are adopting this technology to improve operations and customer experience.

But this is all just the start.

As deep learning technology evolves, we expect to see many more features that will transform digital selling forever.

Chapter 5: The Benefits of Automated Product Tagging

Infographic of the benefits of the automated product tagging

Enter automated product tagging solutions – the North Star for e-commerce businesses navigating the tagging seas. These AI-powered solutions bring a breath of fresh air to the often turbulent waters of product tagging.

Online retailers get tons of benefits by using automated product tagging. These benefits are a result of the richness and consistency of the product tags. It is ultimately product data that powers the rest of the systems in an e-commerce store.

To put it simply, automated tagging helps in four main ways:

  1. Deep Insights for Shoppers: Rich tags provide detailed insights into shopper preferences and behavior. This data powers personalized shopping experiences and more relevant recommendations.
  2. Improved Product Discoverability: Rich tags enhance the discoverability of products, making it easier for shoppers to find what they want.
  3. Reduced Friction in the Buying Experience: Combining deep insights and improved discoverability removes friction from the buying experience, leading to increased sales.
  4. Efficient Use of Employee Time: By automating manual tasks, employees can focus on high-value activities instead of data entry.

1. Personalised shopping experiences ‍

1.1 Better understand your shoppers‍

Automated product tagging makes the e-commerce website more personalised. Every click on a tag makes the system aware of the different expectations of shoppers, which, paired with the data-driven historical behaviour, gives the right answer to the question: “What does the shopper really want to see?”

It allows the customization engine to be much more efficient and precise when reading the purpose of the shoppers.‍

1.2 Serve more relevant recommendations‍

Netflix saves around $1 billion on an annual basis through customer retention, thanks to personalised content. High-performing e-commerce relies heavily on data. People's buying preferences in fashion, for instance, are primarily based on what they find visually appealing, as well as what they believe enhances their unique traits and fits well with other clothing pieces.

Deep Learning algorithms enable you to detect and comprehend your products' output as well as extract multidimensional attributes. You can learn a lot about your consumers' attitudes, tastes, and demographic and geographic characteristics by using automated product labelling. Through a greater number of informative apparel logos, you can learn more about what customers want and develop more customised deals. This enables you to track and evaluate patterns, allowing you to prepare your e-commerce store for potential customers. But to make this all possible, you need to have rich tags powering your personalised recommendations.

Since product auto-tagging technology attaches richer content to each product, giving the personalization system more information to work with and understand what kind of products the users like.

This info comes from the combination of the shopper’s search history and the tags. This is valuable data that apart from giving your customers exactly what they want, ultimately enables you to make better business decisions.

2. Improved Product Discovery‍

2.1 Richer product data & comprehensive navigation‍

Everything you see on the front-end of an ecommerce store such as navigation and product categories is powered by product information and tags in the back-end.

Hence, having richer and more accurate tags makes it easier for e-commerce store managers to support instant product exploration and make site navigation more intuitive and comprehensive. With automated product tagging, you can enrich your data through a multi-level fashion product tagging structure, with hundreds of product tags at each level.

You can also add mutually-exclusive product tags that refer to a particular attribute of a certain product. For example, you can have “accessory” as a category, and “necklace” as a subcategory. These subcategories, on the other hand, can have more attribute tags that enrich product data, like “large”, “golden”, “asymmetric”, etc. All this allows customers to make sense of your catalogue much more easily and find your products much faster.

Improved Catalogue Management

Accurate visual attributes of products enable streamlined and well-organised backend product processes. Product catalogue pictures with precise product tags allow retail stores to track sales, discover the most searched products, find out and eliminate products that aren’t popular, and always have stocks under control.

Automated product tagging can organise products based on different criteria, e.g., brand, design, style, colour, and other criteria. More product tags can be added from time to time so that the product catalogue will always remain updated with fashion trends. These tags can seriously impact buying decisions and therefore bring deeper insights into attribute-level sales analytics.

Incorporating a fashion tagging engine in the e-commerce store can improve the decisions managers make, as it allows them to have a better overview of the products from their online retail store.

Better Search Engine Ranking (SEO Optimization)

Automated tagging doesn’t only improve catalogue management—it can also be a serious SEO booster. Being one of the few low-cost marketing strategies still available, SEO is an important strategic goal for e-commerce companies.

How Does Fashion Tagging Help?

Providing keyword-friendly tags to other content-rich areas of the online retail platform, making tags accessible and, most importantly, clickable for visitors will improve the website's SEO and position on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). The more valuable and accurate a product image tag is, the greater its ability is to appear in search results. Since automated tags automatically annotate images that have particular tag categories and reference marks, they can be a great SEO booster.

Additionally, automated product tagging reorganises the internal hierarchical linking system of the website, placing connections in strategically better positions around the web. This is especially useful because Google’s AI-based algorithm now understands search context and considers it when ranking results.

3. Increase sales

3.1 Reduce shopping cart abandonment rate‍

With automated product tagging, customers can get to the products they want or need more easily. Sometimes, the product they want can be unavailable, so they leave the store thinking that there’s no other alternative. Shoppers abandon their shopping carts for many reasons and products being out of stock is one of the most common reasons why this happens, leading to an average cart abandonment of 83.6% for some industries.‍

Product tags can reduce these losses by encouraging the consumer to choose from a wide range of related products that can be an alternative to the unavailable product. This encourages shoppers to spend more time browsing and reduces bounce rates.

Increase Average Order Value (AOV)

Every online retail store has the goal to get customers to stay as much as possible on their websites and end their visits with a purchase. As automated tagging connects products with e-commerce product tags, it allows store owners to recommend more products to customers during their checkout process.

So, customers will find even more related products they like, adding them to their shopping carts and buying more products than initially planned. For example, if the shopper is looking for a summer dress, they will be looking at dresses with the “summer dress” tag. However, if they are getting ready for the summer, they could probably also use some sandals or t-shirts the system can offer with the tag “summer”.

They’ve probably only come to your store for the dress, but the auto tagging system is here to remind them to buy other summer items as well. Accurate product tags can enable suggesting other relevant summer items, eventually increasing sales figures.

As a bonus point, clean and correct tags can reduce returns because buyers will get more information about the product, so they won’t be surprised when the fashion item is delivered to their doorsteps.

4. Efficiency gain

4.1 More time for important tasks‍

Advanced image algorithms allow the entire product image tagging process to be performed in a single day, replacing weeks of human effort. An automated fashion product tagging model can increase catalogue processing time by up to 90%.

This means that product & data managers and fashion marketplace employees have more time left for other, more important tasks. They can focus on improving customer experience, creating a smoother buyer journey, and better supporting the commercial team without having to hire new people to do all these tasks.

Chapter 6: Augmented Tags for Richer Product Data

Illustration of traditional ecommerce search vs augmented site search

Augmented tags represent the next phase of evolution in product tagging, integrating AI-generated metadata with human-generated tags to create a more comprehensive and accurate description of each product. By combining the power of AI algorithms with human understanding, augmented tags can significantly enhance the depth and richness of product data, enabling a more nuanced and detailed understanding of each item within a catalogue.

What are Augmented Tags and How Do They Work

AI-generated tags are created using advanced computer programs that examine different aspects of a product, like its color, style, and material. These tags are generated automatically by the system, using complex algorithms trained on extensive datasets to identify patterns and features within images. The AI can identify subtle details that a human might miss, resulting in a more accurate and detailed collection of tags.

On the flip side, human-generated tags offer a deeper understanding and interpretation of the product's features. They bring in a human touch, adding qualitative insights that enrich the tags, capturing subtle details that might not be obvious from just looking at an image. Human-generated tags also consider cultural and contextual knowledge, which is vital in meeting the varied preferences and expectations of diverse customers.

When combined, these augmented tags form a strong and detailed information framework that enhances the product data. This mix of AI-generated and human-generated tags provides a more detailed and accurate view of each product, leading to better search results, personalized suggestions, and improved experiences for customers.

Examples of Enhanced Discoverability

Implementing augmented tags leads to a noticeable improvement in how customers find products, resulting in more engagement and higher conversion rates. By combining the power of AI-generated and human-generated tags, e-commerce platforms can offer various benefits and advantages. Here are some real examples that demonstrate these advantages:

More Accurate Search Results

Example: Suppose a customer is searching for "casual women's shoes" on an e-commerce platform.

  • Benefit: With the implementation of augmented tags, the search results will display a comprehensive range of options, including various styles, colors, and materials, catering to the diverse preferences and needs of customers seeking casual footwear.
  • Outcome: This ensures that the search results are more accurate and relevant, leading to a better user experience.

Tailored Recommendations

Example: A customer frequently browses and purchases athletic wear from an e-commerce platform.

  • Benefit: By leveraging augmented tags, the system can analyze the customer's past purchases, preferences, and browsing history.
  • Outcome: This data, combined with AI-generated and human-generated tags, enables the platform to offer tailored recommendations, such as suggesting matching accessories, complementary workout gear, or new arrivals from the customer's favorite brands, enhancing the customer's shopping experience.

Effective Cross-Selling and Upselling

Example: A customer adds a smartphone to their cart on an e-commerce platform.

  • Benefit: Leveraging augmented tags, the platform can identify complementary products, such as phone cases, screen protectors, or wireless chargers, that align with the customer's preferences and the specifications of the chosen smartphone.
  • Outcome: By displaying these related products during the checkout process, the platform effectively implements cross-selling and upselling strategies, leading to increased sales and customer satisfaction.

Improved Visual Merchandising

Example: An e-commerce platform specializes in home decor and furnishings.

  • Benefit: With augmented tags, the platform can curate visually cohesive product displays that align with various interior design styles, such as modern, minimalist, or bohemian.
  • Outcome: By leveraging the combined power of AI-generated and human-generated tags, the platform can showcase products in visually appealing settings, providing customers with inspirational and contextually relevant displays that resonate with their preferences and help them envision the products in their own homes.

Chapter 7: Ensuring Tagging Accuracy with Verified Tags

In the dynamic world of online shopping, the accuracy of product tagging is crucial for engaging customers and ensuring a smooth shopping experience.

When tags are accurate, customers can easily find the products they want, leading to happier customers and more successful sales. On the other hand, if tags are inconsistent or incorrect, customers can become frustrated, which can hurt brand loyalty and reduce the likelihood of customers returning.

Additionally, the accuracy of product tagging has a direct impact on search engine optimization (SEO) strategies. When tags are precise and relevant, they help improve the visibility of products on search engine results pages (SERPs). This, in turn, helps e-commerce platforms expand their online presence and reach more potential customers. Conversely, if tags are inaccurate or misleading, it can negatively affect SEO performance, leading to lower organic traffic and reduced brand visibility.

The Role of Manual QA in Product Tagging Achieving

Human validation and verification of tags help to catch any mistakes or inconsistencies, improving the overall quality and trustworthiness of the product information.

Manual QA involves careful examination and confirmation of product tags by experienced professionals to make sure that each tag correctly represents the relevant product details.

By utilizing manual QA, e-commerce platforms can maintain high standards of tagging accuracy, reducing the risk of incorrect or confusing tags that might negatively impact how customers interact with the platform.

Manual validation allows for the identification and correction of any errors or discrepancies, leading to the improvement and optimization of product tags to better match customer expectations and search preferences.

Consistency and Reliability with Human-Validated Attributes

Human-validated attributes are crucial for ensuring that product tags are consistent and dependable, creating a unified tagging system that improves the overall customer experience.

By carefully checking each tag, e-commerce platforms can maintain a reliable and uniform tagging framework, making it easier for customers to navigate and find what they're looking for.

Furthermore, these attributes help create a complete and trustworthy product classification system that matches what customers expect and how they search. By using human-validated attributes, e-commerce platforms can ensure that each product tag accurately represents the relevant product details, helping customers find the right products quickly and easily.

By highlighting the importance of human validation and manual QA processes, e-commerce platforms can maintain high standards of tagging accuracy, creating a strong and dependable product data structure that improves customer interaction and satisfaction.

Human-validated attributes are essential for building a customer-focused and user-friendly e-commerce platform, enhancing the overall shopping experience and promoting long-term customer loyalty.
