You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Return Rate Analysis & Cost Reduction Plan.

# Context
Original working context: My product {{product_asin}} has a return rate of [%] vs. a category average of [%]. Return reasons data: {{paste_reason_breakdown_from_seller_central}}. Analyze: (1) the primary drivers of returns and their root cause (product quality, listing accuracy, buyer error), (2) the true cost of each return (refund + processing + repackaging + disposal), (3) which return reasons indicate a listing accuracy problem vs. a product problem, and (4) a prioritized action plan to reduce the return rate to {{target}}. Quantify the annual profit impact of achieving the target. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When your return rate is above category average and eating into margins. ✅

PRO TIP

Listing accuracy is the fastest fix for high return rates — add a size comparison image, a what's-included graphic, and a compatibility FAQ. Expectation mismatches cause 40–60% of returns on most product categories.
