3 Ways Poor Return Policies Affect Small Businesses

Nobody likes to see customers return goods or ask for a refund for a service they’ve already rendered.

But it happens, and there are many reasons why customers may want to return a product or ask for refunds for services rendered.

Top of them includes a defective product or unsatisfactory service, late delivery, wrong order, quality expectations mismatch, etc.

Unfortunately, many small business owners in a bid to avoid loss due to a return choose to set a No-Refund or No-Return policy.

Or when they do, they set one that’s so strict the return experience is a nightmare for the customer.

At first glance, such strict return policies can seem effective in saving the business money, but if you take a broader view, you would see why it hurts your business more than it benefits it.

Analyzing Your Competition

Every business owner wants to outdo the competition.

You want to offer more value, do more business, and ultimately have an advantage over your competitors.

But to do this, they have to gain a good understanding of who their competitors are, what their strengths and weaknesses are, etc.

That is why competitive analysis is very important. It helps businesses gather and analyse as much information as possible about the competition.

By analysing the competition, businesses can gain new knowledge, uncover market gaps they can take advantage of, identify opportunities to improve their business and how they operate, and much more.
