It’s no secret that malls are struggling for relevancy. Once the “it” hangout spot for elderly mall walkers and teenyboppers alike, many malls have been left in the dust by rapid shifts in the way consumers live, work and shop. In mid-2021 Moody’s Analytics predicted that of the roughly 1,000 or so traditional malls left in the U.S., 20% would close or go through a “major repurposing” in the very near future, and other analysts have predicted closure rates closer to 30%.

The cost of returns keeps ecommerce operators awake at night — so much so that some large retailers have adopted a “just keep it” policy towards certain purchases, opting to issue a refund without asking for the merchandise back (a trend that may prove unsustainable for both margins and the environment if consumers come to expect it).

While most brands previously saw e-commerce as one channel in their go-to-market strategy, it now consists of a multitude of channels — each with its own complexities from costs of listing to storage to fulfillment.
