27.6% of total retail sales are now online, an increase of 6.5% compared to pre-pandemic #
And more online shopping means more returns. More than half of consumers have returned a product and a majority or retailers report a corresponding increase in their returns rate - which means there is an opportunity here to be exploited.
Put simply, offering a clear and easy returns service will increase your customer base and the loyalty of your existing customers - having a direct impact on your bottom line. It shouldn’t be seen as a problem - it’s an opportunity for e-Commerce growth.
