Your return policy matters more than you think

96% of shoppers review return policies before making a purchase

In today’s economic climate, shoppers are budget conscious. 80% said they have less confidence to spend, and are cutting back on non-essential purchases. What does that have to do with returns?

Well, your return policy has a huge impact on whether or not a shopper buys from you in the first place. And their experience actually returning a product could determine whether or not they buy from you again.

To attract and retain shoppers, you can’t ignore the importance of returns. That’s where we come in.

When it comes to returns, every detail counts

Post-purchase incentives and environmentally friendly returns boost shopper retention

And they look at the post-purchase experience in the same way. Shoppers pay close attention to what happens after they make a purchase, because more than ever, they’re looking to establish a relationship with the brands they love.

Finding the right balance between discount offers, convenience, and sustainability within the return experience is key to winning shoppers for life.
