TrueShip Issues White Paper to Educate Retailers on What Consumers Want From Returns

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - August 19, 2015) - TrueShip (http://www.trueship.com) -- the leading provider of automated returns management solutions (ReadyReturns) -- has just issued a new white paper to help better educate retailers on what consumers want from ecommerce returns.

As the ecommerce industry prepares to eclipse $1 trillion in annual sales, and as U.S. ecommerce has hauled in a record $300 billion for the first time in a year, ecommerce returns are quickly taking center stage as the most omnipresent deterrence or aid in the conversion funnel.

But many retailers have still been hesitant to adopt a customer-facing online returns policy and an automated process for consumers. The lack of doing so could actually be costing some retailers big dollars. With a convenient returns policy in place, customer confidence improves and conversion rates increase.

TrueShip's new white paper (http://www.trueship.com/blog/2015/08/19/what-consumers-want-from-ecommerce-returns/#.VdUjCJdrqUk) helps retailers better understand the consumer mindset behind returns, as well as the aggregate returns statistics for the ecommerce industry.

It covers the following elements:

• How a convenient returns policy can actually make you money in the long run.
• Why consumers are scrupulous of the returns policy.
• Statistics on ecommerce returns.
• Statistics on what consumers want from a returns policy.
• Infographic: "7 Steps To Transform Your Returns Policy."

"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."
