The Cost of Returns
Returns aren't just lost sales; they involve shipping fees, disposal costs, and potential damage to your IPI score.
Practical Reduction Tactics
- Accurate Product Descriptions: Ensure colors and sizes are represented correctly.
- Video Content: Show the product in use to set realistic expectations.
- Quality Control: Implementing stricter inspections at the factory level.
A 2% reduction in return rate can often translate to a 10% increase in net profit.
