Newmine Announces Whitepaper Focused On Cost Implications Of Customer Returns

June 16, 2015 - Newmine, a global Omni-channel retail consulting firm, today announced the release of its latest whitepaper entitled "Lack of a Comprehensive Returns Strategy will Cost you…Plenty!" In this whitepaper the Newmine team shares its perspective and experience helping retailers evaluate and reshape their customer returns strategy and execution.

Of note to retailers will be the significant positive impact a 1 or 2 point reduction in return rates can have on the bottom line. In the whitepaper the authors cite the impact of such a reduction in return rates for a $100 million retailer to be a direct $500k-$1 million improvement in EBITDA.

"Our position is that customer returns are much more than just a cost of doing business," said Navjit Bhasin, CEO of Newmine. "While it may be true that returns are inevitable, many retailers are so busy with the rest of their business that they don't notice when return rates and associated costs start to creep up unnecessarily. We believe straightforward improvements can be made quickly which can have a substantial improvement on EBITDA. We've seen that with our customers time and again."

The whitepaper is available immediately at no cost and is available here.
