Airport retail is roaring back as travelers seek experiences between gates. xlook helps brands deliver curated assortments, personalized styling, and real-time storytelling that converts jet-lagged wanderers into loyal fans.

Localize Assortments Instantly

Sync with flight schedules and traveler demographics to surface relevant products—lightweight layers for Southeast Asia flights, thermal staples for Nordic routes. xlook’s dashboard signals which SKUs should rotate as seasons and destinations shift.

Pre-Trip Engagement

Invite passengers to build travel wardrobes in xlook before departure. The platform recommends add-ons available at your pop-up, then issues QR passes for fast-track pickup or fitting-room reservations upon arrival.

Pop-Up Studio in a Box

Set up a compact Studio booth to capture AR try-ons and create 15-second travel styling reels on-site. Content pushes to Douyin, Instagram Reels, or airline loyalty apps, turning layovers into shareable brand moments.

Livestream from the Terminal

Activate shoppable livestreams timed with peak departures. xlook coordinates scripts, inventory, and moderator prompts while Try On stats highlight demand. Viewers buy remotely and schedule gate-side collection.

Omnichannel Follow-Through

After purchase, xlook tracks items across the traveler’s journey. Push notifications suggest outfits for specific itinerary days and promote future store visits or duty-free partners at the destination city.

Operational Visibility

Operations managers monitor staffing, sales velocity, and inventory depletion in one interface. Alerts trigger replenishment or dynamic pricing when foot traffic spikes due to delays or promotions.

Travel retail thrives on speed and surprise. With xlook, airport pop-ups become intelligent hubs that blend physical discovery with digital convenience.
