Retail Returns Intelligence | Clear Returns Market Report 2015

Returns: the real cost to retailers of customers returning goods…
…and how to claw back margin

Black Friday 2015 sales are predicted to exceed £1bn in a single day for the first time, but this promotion could prove a costly exercise for retailers, our report reveals.

Black Friday returns are set to cause £160million of stock to be sent back. This stock then gets caught up in the ‘returns loop’ during the critical Christmas sales period, meaning it is unavailable for customers to buy at the exact the point retailers need to sell - damaging customer experiences and margins.

A ‘sale’ is only a ‘sale’ when the customer decides to keep a product. Clear Returns exclusive Playing For Keeps report outlines the scale of returns during peak trading seasons and suggests practical ways retailers can maximise margins during the Christmas peak.
