Beyond the Return Policy: Innovative Strategies to Decrease Return Receipts and Increase Revenue

In 2023, the U.S. retail industry witnessed a staggering $743 billion in merchandise returns, constituting nearly 15% of total sales. Not only do returns have a financial impact, but they also affect the customer experience and the environment. While some businesses have begun implementing strict returns policies, data has shown that these efforts can actually be counterproductive for brands.  

What if you could reduce the number of returns for your business in 2024 while also enhancing the customer journey? What if returns could be more preventable? In this webinar, we will share:

Practical ways to decrease returns, while optimizing the customer journey;
Actionable strategies from brands, like Havaianas and City Furniture; and
Tips for driving sales (and revenue) upward.

The Secret to Reducing Returns

Managing Sustainability with Profitability

Join our panel as they launch the RetailX UK Top500 2024 report, which ranks the Top500 retailers in the UK by their performance across 5 performance metrics.

Tune in to Ian Jindal and a panel of industry experts, including Akeneo's Senior Strategist, Angus Hayman who will be sharing their insights into the research. The panel will discuss the changes year on year as well as what are the factors that set the Elite from their contemporaries.

Over the years, report research has become increasingly detailed and is now able to map changes in how shoppers want to buy, as well as how retail businesses sell over the longer term.

Today, the research team measures performance according to how retailers, brands and marketplaces add value to their businesses through the Customer, Product, Operations and Capital Value Chains. The long-term changes mapped include the shift towards buying online, which peaked during the Covid-19 pandemic and remains higher than before; the shift towards buying across channels; and the shift from a Top500 index dominated by retailers to one in which marketplaces and brands are ever-more important.

Launching the Global Luxury Report 2024

Data from Business Insider indicates that merchandise returns rack up to 66% of the original product price, between the cost of retrieving the items, shipping, processing, and restocking returns. When paired with the shocking stat that last year, the U.S. retail industry saw $743 billion in merchandise returns, the financial impact is significant. 

However, returns processes influence the customer experience, too. Optoro reports that 64% of customers purchase from a different retailer due to a better return policy and Akeneo shows 64% of surveyed folks have negative feelings towards a brand that charges them for returns. 

So, is it possible to reduce the number of returns while also ensuring a smooth CX? In a word, yes.
