These days, you can make a purchase with a click of a mouse. Though, we’ve all received a parcel that wasn’t exactly how we envisioned or, perhaps, booked a holiday during the height of the pandemic. On the other hand, receiving a refund is a more challenging prospect, but accommodation refunds don’t have to be thorny for the guest or the property owner.
Refund protection provides guests with the assurance that, if circumstances crop up uninvited, they’re financially protected. Whether that’s an unforeseen illness, family emergency or jury service, Refund protection is an insurance policy that covers a wide range of different scenarios.
In 2020, the Times reported that Britons spent an estimated £7 billion on cancelled holidays. While some customers received a refund months later, others didn’t receive one at all. The bottleneck effect created by the pandemics online shopping boom and precarious refund policy has, understandably, left the post-covid consumer more cautious than ever.
By displaying clear enhanced refund terms in your offering, you can create a sense of security for guests and even increase your sales. A Narvar Survey found that 49% of customers actively check Return Policies before buying anything. Not only that, but research tells us that customers who receive a refund are 17.8% more likely to engage in repeat purchases.
