Retailers must increase sales this Christmas in order to compensate for higher online returns rate
December 10th 2013, London, UK – The higher rates of returns associated with online sales, combined with a probable – but unknown – record proportion of online sales, will put retailers at risk of providing misleading estimates of their ‘net Christmas’.
Heikki Haldre, co-founder and chief executive of virtual fitting room provider Fits.me, said: “There is always a rush in January to proclaim Christmas a success or a failure – even official bodies like the ONS publish provisional December figures by mid-January. This strikes me as simply too soon to guarantee any kind of accuracy; in borderline cases there is a risk that shareholders may be led to believe Christmas sales were up, when in fact net Christmas sales were down.”
