Friction
Without being able to utilize information on specific products or product types a customer has purchased, you are unable to provide an engaging unboxing experience, offer product guidance and advice, or suggest alternatives, which can all help to reduce returns.
Friction
If you are unable to leverage customer data about VIP or loyalty program membership, special customer segments such as staff, partners, and suppliers, or the number of purchases a customer has made over a set period of time, you won’t be able to create differentiated experiences, such as extended returns periods or free return shipping options.
Friction
Without access to information about customer spend, lifetime value, or returns behavior, you will lose revenue and drive up operational costs unnecessarily due to a lack of protection mechanisms that prevent uneconomical or frequent returns or promote refund alternatives, like instant store credits.
Friction
Relying heavily on a vendor to make changes to your returns experience can mean waiting longer than you want. Without self-service capabilities, the campaigns you want to run can’t make a quick impact, and it is difficult to evolve in a way that makes your brand stick out amongst competitors.
