Unlike haul culture, which is more prevalent among influencers and content-driven shoppers, bracketing affects a much wider audience and spans all demographics. Studies show that:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>40% of shoppers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> engage in bracketing due to inconsistent sizing (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1147454\/bracketing-online-purchase-reasons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statista<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>69% of Gen Z consumers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> admit to over-ordering compared to <\/span><b>16% of Baby Boomers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wokewaves.com\/posts\/gen-z-haul-culture-impact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Woke Waves<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Return rates for fashion items range between 30-40%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, compared to in-store return rates of just <\/span><b>8-10%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The average return rate for online apparel orders overall is <\/span><b>24.4%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, further illustrating the return challenges faced by online retailers (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/coresight.com\/research\/the-true-cost-of-apparel-returns-alarming-return-rates-require-loss-minimization-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coresight Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soocial.com\/ecommerce-return-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soocial<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>Prime AI sees <\/span><b>bracketing rates at multi-brand retailers ranging from 15-40%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while for single-brand retailers, the rate is lower at <\/span><b>3-10%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, depending on the product mix. Certain categories, such as dresses and bottoms, are particularly prone to bracketing. Additionally, younger shoppers tend to bracket more frequently than older demographics.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the introduction of <\/span><b>AI-driven size recommendations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes a significant difference.

Influencer-driven shopping habits encourage bulk buying, often with the intention of returning a significant portion of the order. Social media trends exacerbate this behaviour by glamorising excess consumption.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key distinction is that <\/span><b>haul shoppers may buy for content but return for convenience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, whereas <\/span><b>bracketers return due to lack of fit confidence<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This behaviour significantly erodes retailers&#8217; profit margins, as free returns enable these shoppers to repeatedly engage in costly return cycles without contributing meaningfully to sales.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prime AI helps online retailers <\/span><b>identify, track, and manage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> serial returners, allowing businesses to take action and regain control over their profitability.

In other words, these shoppers were placing large orders, frequently returning items, and rarely keeping anything.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means online retailers are losing money due to the <\/span><b>logistical and operational costs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> associated with processing their orders and returns. To counteract this, the retailer implemented <\/span><b>targeted return fees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for these specific high-return customers, effectively reducing unnecessary returns while maintaining fairness for loyal shoppers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Would you like <\/span><b>Prime AI to monitor your refunds<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and flag serial returners for proactive management?
