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.

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.

Register now or watch this webinar live on April 30th, 2024, at 2pm EST to ascertain 3 practical ways to decrease your returns and drive sales upwards by building a dedicated product experience (PX) strategy. Don’t get stuck holding the bag (with the return receipts) in 2024.
