SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - April 14, 2015) - TrueShip's (http://www.trueship.com) has just released a new guide designed to help e-retailers create a more ideal online retail returns policy. The guide entails the four most important elements of the return policy, in the eyes of the consumer, so that e-retailers can gain more insight on what shoppers are looking for in an online retail returns policy.
Recent studies about online retail returns have found that a majority of the shoppers take the time to read the return policy. What's more, a large percentage of shoppers' buying decisions are influenced by said policy. Conducive and contributing elements include things like the cost of return shipping, associated restocking fees, length of time from purchase that shoppers are able to return products, and even the convenience of returning an item that they've purchased via the existing returns management system.
In the newest guide on online retail returns by TrueShip, the following points are covered:
- Assuring that there's communication to the customer about the return policy.
- Making the return policy convenient for shoppers.
- Designing a return policy with a price point in mind that doesn't contribute to shopping cart abandonment.
- The importance of offering flexibility in an online retail return policy.
- Infographic on the "Consumer Mindset with Online Shopping."
