By Kristin Secreto, InComm Product Control Time-consuming processes and the need for specially trained and/or dedicated returns counter staff can make returns a costly operational expense. Instead of what could have been a pleasant experience that led to repeat purchases, long lines and unclear policies can have consumers forfeiting the hassle of the returns counter, leaving the store with their hands in the air and unwanted, unreturned items in their shopping bags.

Did you know that the vast majority of shopping carts are abandoned not because the customer was at all unhappy with their items, but because they’re just not ready to buy yet? According to Business Insider, 75% of shoppers who have abandoned shopping carts say that they plan to return to the retailer’s website or store to complete their purchase. This means that although the customer may have walked away from their cart, their interest is still at a relative peak – leaving marketers with

Pepsi jumped into a Big Gulp-sized controversy last week when it aired a commercial that featured Kendall Jenner giving a Pepsi can to a police officer in the middle of a protest. Many criticized the ad for trivializing protests and the Black Lives Matter movement to sell soda , and lo and behold, Pepsi pulled the ad the next day. In the days since, Saturday Night Live lampooned the ad and the San Francisco City Attorney’s office has debated taking legal action.

A drag and drop website builder generally gets a high recommendation from a guy like me. This is because I know that many ecommerce professionals and website designers in general are not all that experienced when it comes to making a site. Therefore, they don't want to touch any code. But drag and drop builders also provide benefits for advanced users, seeing as how you can cut down on time spent developing and pump out more website designs for clients.

With a more competitive environment, the airlines might be more compelled to try to delight their customers (beyond just those spending $1,000 for a first-class seat between Cincinnati and New York).

The retail industry has used “same-store sales” (or “comparable store sales”) as a key indicator of a retailer’s health for decades. From where I sit, its usefulness is rapidly fading, if not bordering on irrelevance. While it remains to be seen whether retail traffic declines will last forever , most traditional retailers will struggle to grow physical store sales in the face of the significant and inexorable shift to online shopping.
