Is RTO killing your Ecommerce marketing budget

Worried about improving RTO rates? One of the most underestimated, yet important aspects in the world of virtual business pertains to reducing RTO (Return To Origin). RTO refers to the buyer’s product sent back/returned to the place of origin. This is one of the most common and frustrating issues for an online seller to deal with. Most online businesses face the problem of customer returns and are not aware of RTO tools, which help improve delivery rates and filter out risky shopping orders at one go. 

On an average, buyers who return to a shop online usually outnumber those who purchase something new. Major reasons for customers to not return are namely – because the service disappoints them, the customer changes their mind about the product, or were offered a lower price on another platform. This also leads to the increase in the RTO price.

40% of all the COD (Cash on delivery) orders are returned to the sellers. 

As e-commerce is making major strides, sellers across India are enjoying increasing opportunities to have their products seen by customers worldwide. How can RTO be kept at bay as it hinders the free-flowing cycle of the virtual marketplace?

You can consider using several tools for boosting your business with emphasis on RTO reduction and improving conversion rates. Leveraging the power of AI, you can expect to receive solutions that will help you achieve your sales targets without breaking a sweat. 

Here’s a look at how some timesaving RTO tools help address the issues related to it.
