Simple Changes to Return Policy Encourage More Sales, Explains New ReadyReturns White Paper

SCOTTSDALE, AZ --(Marketwired - March 22, 2016) - TrueShip (http://www.trueship.com) -- the leading provider of automated returns management solutions (ReadyReturns) -- has just released a new white paper that utilizes current statistics, metrics and information culled from a wide range of authority resources to help retailers better understand how small changes to an ecommerce return policy equate to more sales due to increased confidence levels in consumers.

The new white paper on ecommerce returns follows several studies that have found that consumers overwhelmingly are opposed to return shipping fees or restocking fees, and that they desire a convenient and simple way to return a purchase from an online source.

According to the white paper, in 65% of returns, the retailer is at fault. But when the customer is forced to absorb the time and the cost of the return, it results in a poor experience and ultimately affects loyalty and retention, resulting in lost future sales.

What's more, the white paper points out that a vast majority of consumers read a return policy before making a purchase and base a large part of their buying decision on how easy the returns process is.

Covered topics include:

• How ecommerce is changing and why easy returns matter.
• Studies proving that hassle-free returns improve retention and sales.
• Why consumers are loyalists to stores that offer convenient returns.
• Infographic: Top 10 Product Return Statistics.
• Why shoppers will just shop somewhere else if returns are hard.
• How automated returns create an attractive shopping experience.
