Case Study: The Net Return doubles online sales and simplifies ecommerce with Shopify

The Net Return - Customer Case Study

The Net Return, a Montclair, NJ maker of multi-sport ball-return nets, began as a backyard invention in 1987 and after 20 years of R&D launched a patented S‑shaped, quick‑setup training net at the 2008 PGA Show. The company committed to US manufacturing and direct-to-consumer sales, but struggled with an unstable, hard-to-manage online store that crashed frequently and miscalculated shipping costs.

Switching to Shopify solved those problems — providing a fast, mobile-friendly backend and easy store management — and The Net Return saw sales double after the move. They run marketing through Facebook and Google (organic and PPC), use apps like Upsell, AfterShip, Robin and Webgility for fulfillment, and recommend Shopify to other ecommerce entrepreneurs to avoid the headaches of managing complex shopping carts.
