Wanxiang AI Lab empowers SMEs: Cost-free, instant product launches through innovative AI

Problem and implemented solution

1. Challenge: During a brand's product launch, a large volume of creative materials needs to be produced, incurring substantial human and resource costs and involving a cumbersome process. The Wanxiang AI Lab aims to address the "impossible triangle" in e-commerce brand visual creativity production, tackling "background richness," "detail fidelity," and "product integration." By leveraging AI algorithms, the lab facilitates brands in swiftly creating visual marketing content, resolving the challenges of time-consuming, complex traditional commercial photography and high costs, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing expenses. 2. Insight: Market research indicates that the cost of creative e-commerce product photography generally falls between 200 and 2000 yuan per set. Brands require diverse and tailored creative content for different users, product features, and marketing contexts. For resource-constrained emerging brands and SMEs, Alimama's Wanxiang AI Lab offers transformative technology that is vital in streamlining the product launch pipeline. The lab harnesses AI's efficient and stable production capacity to address the tension between creativity and cost control for merchants in their e-commerce endeavors. Strategic Creativity/Strategy Building: By leveraging AI functionalities provided by Alimama's Wanxiang AI Lab, businesses can adapt models at zero cost, create scenes at no cost, and mass-produce high-quality product images within 30 seconds, thereby expediting the product launch process and lowering expenses. Alimama's Wanxiang AI Lab, with AI's scalability in production, combined with optimized creative generation models, brand/product attributes, and target user characteristics, generates creative images in real-time or pre-production on a large scale, covering the personalized and differentiated rich creative demands across various marketing aspects of brand products. 3. Strategy and Creative Implementation: Implementation Direction 1: Optimize the creative generation model's semantic understanding, drawing accuracy, and aesthetics through algorithmic enhancements, assuring controllable creative quality. Implementation Direction 2: Gain insights into creative factors, integrating brand characteristics, product attributes, high-conversion creative traits by category, and campaign attributes. By incorporating AI-driven reasoning pathways, more contextually suitable creative visuals can be produced, focusing on scalable production and variability in creativity.
