In 2021, US shoppers returned $761 billion worth of merchandise to retailers. That's a whopping 17% of retail trade. Since eCommerce orders are returned 2X-3X more than store bought purchases, continued eCommerce growth will be accompanied by a further increase in returns. For any retailer or brand focused on sustainable eCommerce growth, managing returns has become a critical imperative.

While most retailers have taken strides in improving the returns experience for shoppers; only 16% have a strategic initiative focused on reducing returns even though 73% of returns occur due to reasons retailers can control.

Join Incisiv and Newmine for an executive roundtable to:

  • Learn what a study of 2,500+ shoppers and 150+ retailers reveals about the state of retail returns
  • Hear from our panel of experts on why returns prevention is emerging as a strategic lever for sustainable eCommerce growth
  • Share priorities, challenges and attitudes towards retail returns amongst industry peers in attendance

Attendees Include

Join some of the sharpest minds in retail for a discussion on the strategic importance of returns prevention.

The Wayfarer is a classic American Grill, redefined, evoking a feeling of "old meets new". Executive chef Chris Shea was featured on Top Chef season 5. Chris brings a unique sensibility from an early interest in food making deliveries for the legendary Frank Market, in Washington Heights, at the age of 12.

Incisiv's Annual NRF Kick-Off Dinner will be at the restaurant's amazing, completely private space on the second level. The cocktail lounge, evoking a Speakeasy-like vibe, and the classic dining room with floor to ceiling views of 5th Avenue combine to create an unforgettable atmosphere.
