Engaging the Customer With Your Returns Policy -- Key Tips Revealed in TrueShip's White Paper

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - September 23, 2015) - TrueShip (http://www.trueship.com) -- the leading provider of automated returns management solutions (ReadyReturns) -- has just released a white paper that helps retailers create a returns policy that engages the customer and helps secure long term loyalty and retention.

The most recent statistics about online product returns demonstrate that over 25% of products that are ordered by consumers from online stores are returned. According to related studies, 67% of consumers read a return policy and over 80% have said that it’s an integral part of their buying decision.

When a return policy is hassle-free and convenient, polls have found that over 90% of consumers view the online store favorably, and are likely to do future business with it as well as recommend it to a friend. But when the return policy is a hassle, a majority of consumers will view the store unfavorably, and will simply take their business elsewhere.

TrueShip's new white paper shows retailers how they can create the perfect online product returns policy.

It covers aspects of the returns process and policy that include:

  • Why complimentary returns actually improve profits, customer loyalty.
  • Statistics showing that consumers purchases more frequently when returns are simple.
  • Understanding that retailers are the reasons for as much as 65% of returns; not consumers.
  • The top-ten product return statistics with illustrated infographic.
  • Why bad returns policies actually scare consumers away.
  • How an automated returns policy can benefit your bottom line.

"An e-retailer returns policy is a very important cog in the ecommerce wheel and conversion funnel," explained Michael Lazar, Director of Online Marketing at TrueShip. "If you are not engaging users properly and offering a convenient, automated and efficient returns policy, there’s a good chance that shoppers will take their business elsewhere."
