Net Promoter Score

A customer loyalty metric based on likelihood to recommend, correlated with return behavior and churn.

Net Promoter Score (NPS) measures customer loyalty on a -100 to +100 scale based on responses to 'How likely are you to recommend?' Detractors (scores 0-6) return more frequently and spend less. Tracking NPS alongside return metrics reveals whether high-return customers are dissatisfied or simply opportunistic. Improving product quality, accuracy, and return experience lifts NPS and reduces costly returns.
