Manufacturers D2C Event:
Maximum Marketing ROI, Minimum Fraud

Risk v Reward: Balancing Fraud and Profit
12 February 2009, Schiphol, Amsterdam

Risk v reward

It’s the classic Risk/Reward dilemma. Spending a great deal to acquire customers, only to lose them to fraud processes or actual charge-backs!

So how does a company weigh up credit-card fraud detection measures against commercial pressures to sell? This is the €500m issue that affects the entire e-commerce business in Europe.

Join e-commerce colleagues from other major vendors to learn best-practices, compare fraud rates, and discuss how merchants can band together and help combat credit-card fraud. 

It is the second Manufacturers D2C Europe round-table and is NO COST to attend. And there are no vendors who will try to sell to you!

Risk v Reward: Balancing Fraud and Profit

Event Summary

It is not sexy to combat fraud. No one really wants to talk about it. But it is a huge cost to the e-commerce business due to:

  • fraud prevention measures (checking each order)
  • losing revenue to chargebacks for fraudulent customers
  • managing chargebacks from credit card companies
  • wasted marketing money
  • negative customer experience - risk upsetting regular customers

For years the credit card industry has pushed the risk of fraud on to merchants, and in the current climate governments and banks seem to have other priorities than help preventing credit card fraud. Gangs of criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and cross border fraud will likely increase. 

Now it's time for e-commerce merchants to stand up, and work together to provide some industry solutions!

Please join this bold industry-wide initiative led by Nike to work on joint ways to beat the fraudsters.
