RETURNS & EXCHANGES

Return Label Experience

When a customer has received their M.Gemi package, they are provided with a pre-paid return label in box along with instructions to complete a quick survey online to capture the return reason. Although providing a label in box is the desired and most hassle-free experience for the customer, it has proven to not be ideal from a business perspective.

Most often, customers will simply apply the return label to the box without filling out the return reasons online. The business then loses that data capture, which can be problematic with restocking / tracking inventory, as well as, losing the opportunity to intercept the return by contacting the customer to recommend a different shoe size or style. In an effort to retain these new leads and buyers, and increase exchange conversion, we wanted to research other brands to see if a print at home label experience is right for us.

 
 

PURPOSE

The beginning of a conversation on how we can best position M.Gemi to create a seamless returns experience with no labels in the box.

GOALS

  • To help understand which brands include return labels in-box versus requiring customers to print out a label

  • To understand how customers have to interact with UI to print a label

  • To determine what the right return experience is for our customer 

  • To introduce “print at home” labels for a subset of users so that we can build & test to validate that this solution works

  • To modify the language of the insert included in the shoe box to align with the requirements that they must print the return shipping label at home

RETURN LABEL TOUCHPOINTS & EXPERIENCES

More and more, customer acquisition is becoming less exclusively about price and more about convenience and ease of communication. According to Bain & Co., customers are four times more likely to go to a competitor due to discrepancies in service than to discrepancies in price.

We currently don’t communicate with customers after they have received our shoes. Can we create another touchpoint with styling content or how to take care of your shoes? Within an email like this we could offer deeplinking?
