How Under 5’10 retains 34.7% of returned revenue with Loop

Learn more about Under 5’10:

Under 5'10 is a men's fashion brand that strives to make properly fitting clothes at great prices for men under 5'10, the average height of the American male. They specialize in perfect fitting off the rack mens pants in shorter inseams and mens shirts in shorter lengths.

The Challenge: A sub-par post-purchase experience

Under 5’10 wants to ensure that their customers always find the right fit – so they aim to make the return and exchange process as seamless as possible.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t happening with their previous returns solution. The solution was confusing and non-intuitive for customers, leading many customers to send back products for a refund rather than considering an exchange. And on the merchant side, the process lacked the customizability that the brand was after, and failed to gather data insights that would help them optimize their product selection and descriptions.

Shop Now helps Under 5’10 retain revenue and upsell an average $2.50 per return

Shop Now enables customers to shop across Under 5’10’s entire real-time inventory when considering a product exchange, leading to a seamless exchange process with endless potential for upsells, as customers have the chance to consider any product in the store

Because the store targets a specific niche demographic, odds are high that even if a particular item didn’t suit the shopper, 5’10 carries plenty of other items that could be a good fit for them. By opening the full catalog from real-time inventory in the shopper’s sizes, Loop’s Shop Now feature helps reduce customer churn, retain return revenue through exchanges, and lead to product upsells.

Superior CX for shoppers with Instant Exchange

Loop’s Instant Exchange feature gives shoppers instant access to the store credit from their original purchase, even before sending back their returned item. Under 5’10 uses this feature for all exchanges which results in a great experience for shoppers, who can have their replacement item shipped to them immediately without needing to charge another transaction. It’s also risk-free for Under 5’10, since they automatically place a hold-charge on the shopper’s credit card until the item is returned.
