SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - March 20, 2015) - TrueShip (http://www.trueship.com) has just released their most recent white paper. It is designed to help e-retailers better understand how ecommerce is evolving, and why they shouldn't worry about offering hassle-free returns with complimentary return shipping; because doing so actually improves their bottom line.
Returns have long been viewed as a menace for e-retailers. They've been mistakenly categorized as a cost that must be encumbered instead of being what they are really are: a critical aspect of the customer service model.
Emerging studies have found that simple methods can be taken by e-retailers to reduce returns while still preserving customer retention and loyalty. In addition, related studies have also found that when hassle-free returns with complimentary return shipping are offered, that e-retailers actually improve loyalty, retention and increase the average consumer spend over a two-year period.
The new white paper by TrueShip covers elements that include:
- How offering complimentary return shipping helps improve profit margins.
- Why customers are more loyal to stores that offer simple returns.
- The fact that most returns are the retailer's fault; not the customer's.
- That customers are only a click away from another store if returns are a hassle.
- Why automated returns do most of the work for customers and e-retailers.
- Top ten online product return statistics for 2015 with infographic.
