Clear Returns Whitepaper explores the ecommerce market
Shopping behaviour has changed forever. No longer are we fighting queues for the changing rooms, to fight our way into too-small jeans, then fight the embarrassment of having to return every pair to the assistant who is at best, busy, and at worst, disinterested.
The tables have turned. For consumers, shopping from the comfort of your own armchair, detached from all human contact and with the ability to return every purchase with impunity, is irresistible. And the value of e-commerce sales is increasing rapidly as a result.
How, then, do retailers address this escalating, expensive and poorly-understood problem? Download the latest Clear Returns whitepaper to find out more
The whitepaper looks at how:
